Unpacking the cottagecore aesthetic on a budget
Unpacking the cottagecore aesthetic on a budget.
Cottagecore is one of the recurring buzzwords that we keep bumping into, be it on Instagram, twitter or a random YouTube comment section. Also referred to a farmcore or rural core, this theme idolises slow living by baking, farming and living in the countryside. Fashion is a major component of this subculture as it easily translates the underlying innuendo visually, for masses to acknowledge. Floral prints, poofy sleeves, ruffled and tiered skirts in somber colours easily fall into the umbrella of cottagecore, as mildly whimsical and effortless silhouettes define this trend. So, if you’re looking to revamp your wardrobe after having a ‘faerie inspired’ awakening or just love keeping up with trends, be sure to check the following pieces out!
