To me Cottagecore is a new trend that celebrates the beauty of simplicity. It's cozy and inviting. Best noticed in countryside living.
Vintage clothing, floral patterns, and homes/cottages filled with earthy tones and natural materials, such as freshly picked flowers from the garden in a mason jar. Hummingbird feeders set in front of the kitchen window with the sound of windchimes lightly tinkling. A cottage garden filled with various kinds of wildflowers attracting bees and butterflies. It is a reminder to slow down and just enjoy being.
It is definitely a visual feast meant to invite you to a slower pace and reconnect with nature. Gardening, foraging for treasures at flea markets, thrift stores, and the like. Baking homemade goodies or creating home made gifts and crafts.
Cottagecore has the magical ability to transport you to a different time and place into a world of beauty and serenity.
Escapism....probably but it makes for a beautiful staycation that can recharge and renew frazzled nerves and mental exhaustion.
