That’s what summer dreams are made of, right? That, my friend is the cottagecore aesthetic you just imagined yourself in.

What is cottagecore trend?
It is all about making a fashion statement by mentally transporting yourself to a place relaxing and humble, you know where there are cottages and sunsets and little farm animals. It shouldn’t be too hard considering we are dying for a trip to a tranquil place like that. It takes you back to the summer vacay to a countryside simply by playing dress up. Holding a flower basket, grab your girl tribe and put the modest setting in the background for the perfect cottagecore Insta post.

Cottagecore fashion is easy. Like I mentioned before, it’s everything you’d wear for spending a relaxing day on the countryside. Think printed skirts, long maxi dresses, a frilly cotton dress or literally any floral summer dress would work. Not a fan of skirts and dresses? You could go with co-ords with an off-shoulder top and shorts. They key to nail the cottagecore fashion is make your look as summery and simple as possible. Oh, and don’t forget to pair it with some super cute flats, strappy or otherwise.
Talking about cottagecore beauty, keep your makeup minimal with some hint of blush, lip tint and oodles of mascara. Throw on a scarf or a headband to go with it and keep your hair wavy and messy like it was done like that by the wind. Or, put on a straw sun hat to take the fashion game up a notch. You could also go for milkmaid braids. You know, the simple and subtle beauty statement to go with the simplistic setting. The more I think about it, the more it looks you should appear like you’ve had a romp in the sack with a stable boy.
