what are some good Shōjo mangas or animes that are not purely romantic melodramas?
I love the esthetic and I'd like to dig deeper into the genre.
I am already aware of the existence of CLAMP's body of work and Revolutionary Girl Utena.

So you can break out the macrons for "shoujo", but you can't spell "aesthetic"?

Shoujo is at first a mindset, then a tag in repositories.
Granted, all shoujo is not a "romantic melodrama" and I can relate with that "aesthetics" regarding prevailing generic features in art, however.
I'm not that sure it's shoujo you are actually after.
Which of these you have seen?
