Published 1 year ago

There is something so idyllic and blissful about cottagecore that makes it very attractive as not just an aesthetic, but as a lifestyle too. As an ode to simpler and calmer times, cottagecore is a nostalgic retreat into rural living embracing a life that’s more harmonious with nature. 

Even though it was a trend that first gained popularity in the 2010s, cottagecore has recently re-emerged in 2023 on TikTok. Folks are back to sharing photos of their adoption of these traditional styles and skills either through a vintage lace dress, a freshly kneaded loaf of bread or a crown of flowers that celebrates the countryside. So scroll for a heartening peek at the way people have been expressing the innocent joy they have found in this simple way of life in the gallery below.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.

Got wisdom to pour?
