The soft girl aesthetic, which has grown popular over the last few years, is a direct response to the ‘Girlboss’ era that occurred in the late 2000s and early 2010s. With many young adults and teens opting for a ‘softer life', doing more cozy activities, and not being as career-driven, this aesthetic has a gentle, feminine, and playful feel. Blending pastel colors, delicate fashions, and soft looks together creates a sense of innocence, comfort, and gentleness. By bringing more femininity into your space, you can encourage more warmth and positivity into your life.

‘Soft Girl’ is a more gentle approach to life, with it being a more cozy, dreamy, and feminine space that reflects warmth, innocence, and gentleness. It combines pastel colors, soft textures, and whimsical touches to make a calm, inviting environment.

Some of these colors include:

• soft pinks
• baby blues
• lavender
• pale yellow
• mint green

which are key colors, create a dreamy feel to your room. Pastel colors tend to give off a feminine, romantic touch to your spaces, creating a sense of peace and relaxation.

Along with this, having plush duvet covers of soft lines or floral patterns adds to the soft aesthetic. Bedding with lace, delicate embroidery, or even scalloped edges contributes to the whimsical vibe.

If you feel as though your space is missing a few things, adding items like throw or knitted blankets can help give your room more depth and comfort. You can also have throw/plush pillows with pastel colors, floral prints, or with cute, heart-shaped designs to help bring up colors and make your space even cozier.

Colors like 

• Cream
• Warm beige
• Greys 
• Green
• Burnt orange 

are go-tos for this aesthetic because of their homey feel. Since these colors remind us of countryside homes and more rural places, having these colors in your room can make it feel cozier.

To further the coziness of your room, having ruffled or lace-trimmed bedding can make your space feel as though you are stepping into a vintage cottage from the 20th century. With its soft and delicate touch, it instills a sense of comfort and softness in your bedroom.

A big part of the cottagecore aesthetic is having things that look homemade. So items like knitted blankets and quilts can really add a DIY feeling to your space. Adding even more personal touches to your space can include things like different types of pillows, which can come in a mix of textures, patterns, or even embroidered ones.

Still feeling unsure or caught between two aesthetics? Why choose just one when you can blend the best of both! While these styles may differ at their core, they naturally complement each other when thoughtfully combined. Imagine soft pastel floral bedding layered with a chunky knitted blanket to bring a dreamy, comforting vibe to your space. Or elevate your neutral bedspread with delicate lace or floral accent pillows for that perfect balance of softness and contrast.
