We often find ourselves gravitating towards the Romancecore aesthetic. The aesthetic that makes anyone look like the human embodiment poetry. If you too, love all-things-romantic like pastels, pearls, lace, pink, and bows, and would like to embody that aesthetic, here's how to do it.


How You Can Channel The Soft Romantic Aesthetic With Your Outfit


Pearls

Nothing says romance quite like pearls. Pearls instantly add a layer of elegance and old world charm to any look. Sure, you can pair your cute pastel lehenga with diamonds, but you should consider pairing it with a dainty string of pearls, or even layer multiple pearl necklaces for a really romantic, vintage, old-school look. Or, wear a sari or a lehenga delicately embroidered with pearls all over it!



Lace

You can not talk about the soft romantic aesthetic and leave lace out of the discussion. It’s delicate, soft, and very feminine. Whether you go for something like a delicately embroidered lace lehenga, or a pretty lace sari, it’s one of the easiest ways to channel romance and old-world charm without trying too hard. 



Pastel color palette

First rule of channeling romance? Soft colors. Peach, ice blue, sage green, butter yellow, bubblegum pink, lilac! And not to forget, all shades of red! Seriously, red and pink are your best friends when aiming to channel this vibe. 



Delicate florals

There are a few things more romantic than flowers. I mean, there is a reason why men get flowers for women, after all! And we aren’t talking about the big, in-your-face kind of flowers. We’re talking about the delicate, dainty, barely-there kind of flowers. Like a sheer organza sari with floral print, or a monotone blouse with a subtle 3D floral pattern all over it!



Ruffles

Ruffles will never not be romantic. Think: a sheer ruffled blouse with a vintage printed sari, or a shirt with a ruffled collar paired with a cute pair of pants!



Bows

Bows are as cute and romantic as it gets. It can be as simple as wearing a cute little ribbon bow in your hair with an elegant monotone lehenga!
