26 Best Cottagecore Stores & Trendy Outfit Ideas

Gorgeous Cottagecore fashion has swept the board of most popular aesthetics for this year and is the No. 1 Tik-Tok trend! And that’s not surprising, because it’s a very feminine and appealing fashion style, that anyone can enjoy wearing.

Based on pretty, ruffled dresses, cute off-the-shoulder blouses, dainty floral prints, and natural colors, Cottagecore is a relaxed and optimistic look.

When Did Cottagecore Start?

The Cottagecore trend began in 2017, and reached widespread popularity a couple of years ago. And later, when we found ourselves spending much more time at home, Cottagecore emerged as the perfect outlet for our desire to escape our negative situation.

Cottagecore is full of comforting ideas, like living in a cozy cottage in a delightful, country village from the past. And as we didn’t need to force our bodies into uncomfortable, push-up bras, formal office wear and high-heels, we looked for another style.

So the Cottagecore idea of loose, flowing clothes and comfy footwear from the past quickly caught our imagination. And even though Light and Dark Academia and Fairy-Grunge came to the fashion forefront at this time, Cottagecore is even more popular and set to last far beyond this year!

Fabulous Cottagecore Outfits

So if you fancy yourself as a light-hearted country maiden, here are 4 fabulous Cottagecore outfits to get you started:-

1. Cottagecore cardigans for layering

One of the best ways to get an authentic, Cottagecore look is to add an oversized cardigan in the vintage style. So look for knitwear with puffed sleeves, embroidered details of flowers, fruit, bees or similar decoration.

Buy a larger size than you would normally wear, because Cottagecore is a loose and comfortable style. And when Cottagecore was the mainstream style, women often wore a nice, warm cardigan, as houses weren’t heated as well as they are today.

And a soft, knitted cardigan looks great over a buttoned shirt or fancy blouse and skirt, a dress or trousers/jeans, so it’s a very versatile item to have in your wardrobe.

2. Trendy Cottagecore dresses

The typical Cottagecore frock and skirts are inspired by rural fashion dating back to between the 1920’s and the late 1950’s.

So the favorite Cottagecore fabrics are faded floral, gingham, paisley prints and strips and embroidered details of natural images, like animals, plants and insects.

Choose natural colors that occur in Nature, such as beige, pale-pink, ivory, faded-rose, pale yellow, light-blue, maroon, ochre and olive-green.

And best of all, Cottagecore frocks are loose-fit and comfortable to wear. The styles emphasize flowing lines and the fabrics are light and float on the air. And the current, popular trend for ruffled details and hems is totally Cottagecore.

Peasant blouses with wide sleeves are also one of the most popular garments in Cottagecore separates. And you’ll find lots of suitable blouses with puffy, exaggerated sleeves in the stores listed below.

3.  Cute Cottagecore Overalls

Vintage fashions are hugely trendy right now and for next year. And cute overalls are something we haven’t worn for a while now. So you’ll love the new Cottagecore overalls that are comfy, relaxed and charming.

Look out for flowery denim, and pretty patterns showing insects, flowers, cherries or animals. And plain overalls you can wear with a patterned blouse or shirt underneath.

Overalls can just be slipped over a short-sleeved t-shirt for a fun, summer look. Or they can be worn over a shirt or woollen sweater in cooler temperatures. The typical Cottagecore overall is practical, but still feminine and often quite chic.

4. Best Cottagecore Accessories

And to really show that you’re a Cottagecore girl, add typical country accessories, because the right complements add lots of rural identity to any outfit.

So you should be carrying a basket or bag made out of natural, woven fiber. And in warm weather, maybe a wicker sun-hat on your head or just hanging down your back. In colder times, wear Cottagecore knitted hats and floral socks.

Fabric butterfly, lace or rosebud hairclips are great, as well as pretty, floral headbands and dangly, flower earrings. And look in second-hand shops for cheap vintage jewelry, and macramé bracelets.
