With peasant tops, boho floral dresses, and earthy color pants trending again, Cottagecore aesthetic outfits are the perfect fashion choice for this spring and summer.

The good news is it doesn’t have to be difficult (or expensive) to dress like Cottagecore.

Although the definition of the Cottagecore aesthetic is quite deep and nuanced, Cottagecore fashion follows simple rules; any garments depicting a dream-like rural life!

Best Cottagecore Aesthetic Outfits

The Cottagecore style is all about living that simple countryside life.

In this article, I’ve curated the cutest Cottagecore aesthetic outfits that are easy to pull off in four categories: dresses, overalls, main layers, and accessories.

Cottagecore Dresses

The ideal Cottagecore dresses are loose-fitting, flowy, and floaty. The influencer’s favorites are floral dresses and billowy blouses (peasant blouses).

Go for naturally occurring colors such as brown, baby pink, olive green, ivory, maroon, beige, and ochre, mixed with dusty, faded rose pink, light yellow, and even baby blue.

Cottagecore Overalls

Past fashion trends are coming back with a vengeance, and none of them are more fun than overalls.

However, rather than the boxy, oversized overalls you see in your dad’s closet, Cottagecore overalls are functional but also chic.

Conclusion

The demand for Cottagecore clothing reached peak popularity in 2020 when the world was in the thick of the pandemic.

People searched for new outlets of escapism, and this whimsical, soft, ethereal, and period-inspired way of dressing offered a slice of simplicity that made them feel at home.

And, despite similar aesthetics like light academia, fairy grunge, and dark academia threatening to overthrow the trend, the Cottagecore aesthetic is more loved than ever, even now in the post-Covid era.

Now it’s your turn…

Which one of these Cottagecore aesthetic outfits is your favorite and why?

Are there any other great Cottagecore outfit ideas you’ve tried and want to add to this list?
