If you’ve been on the internet recently, you may have seen the term “cottagecore” appear. Cottagecore is an aesthetic that has recently become repopularized by Gen Z. The term was first brought on the scene in the 2010s and officially named 2018. The cottagecore aesthetic is a movement harkening back to a time when people lived simpler, rural, and rustic lives to create a feeling of “aspirational nostalgia.”
The aesthetic centers on traditional rural clothing, interior design, and crafts such as drawing, baking, and pottery. It’s no wonder this aesthetic reached its height during the pandemic when we were all at home trying to keep sourdough starters alive! If this ode to the simple life attracts you, this is how you can bring the cottagecore aesthetic into your home.
