Feminine silhouettes, soft colours, delicate florals, braids, laces, and bows — this is the cottagecore aesthetic in a gist. The love for this trend comes from how it goes beyond fashion, embodying a simple and sustainable lifestyle. It celebrates tranquility and slow living, encouraging people to embrace an intentional and patient approach.
Inspired by rustic settings and vintage decor, this aesthetic is almost 2300 years old but gained popularity only after COVID-19 when people were returning to traditional ways of living and staying indoors, away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Baking, gardening, sewing, and reading are some of the activities associated with the cottagecore aesthetic that became a creative escape and a way to heal people during the pandemic.
Cottagecore is all about enjoying the present moment, and not giving in to the fast-paced, tech-driven life. Today, it stands not just as a trend but a way of life.
