Have you heard about summer’s hottest trend? Think Peter Pan collars, ruffled hems and ditsy floral prints – this season, it’s all about Cottagecore.
Ok, so we’ll admit… we’d never heard of Cottagecore until the trend popped up at the start of the summer. The official definition is ‘a romanticised interpretation of agricultural life’, which we translate as super feminine French farm chic. It's perfect for a picnic, think sunny days and picknicking in the park.. And what’s not to love about that?! Here are some of our favourite pieces to help you get the look. Or shop the whole trend here.
This dress is a total beauty. With a swingy skirt, ruffled details and a delicate floral print, it combines all the elements of Cottagecore in one perfectly formed piece. Dress it down with Cons and a denim jacket, or go all out in dainty sandals and a straw hat.
Cottagecore is a soft, gentle trend… but there’s always room for a subtle statement piece! We’re obsessed with this stunning shirt – that glorious Peter Pan collar is perfectly balanced by a classic cut in simple white cotton. Love love love.
Hello, sunshine! How beautiful is this baby? Woven fibres are a key part of this trend, and we’re loving the sunny yellow shade and sweet circular handles on this basket bag.
Another classic shape given the Cottagecore aesthetic – these chic shorts are instantly updated with front and hem pleats and button details. Love that soft ecru shade, too.
There’s only one footwear choice to finish off your Cottagecore look – Birkenstocks all the way! The Arizona style is a Birkenstock staple, with the chunky shape you need to balance out those ditsy prints and soft lines. Plus they’re super comfy, too!
