The Art of Dressing Like You Live in a Cottage (Even If You Don’t)

You don’t need to own a thatched-roof home in the woods to live your cottagecore dreams. Sometimes, it just takes the right outfit—a soft linen dress, bare feet in the grass, a straw hat tilted just so.

Cottagecore is more than an aesthetic; it’s a return to slowness, simplicity, and natural beauty. It’s about dressing in ways that feel cozy, grounded, and connected to the earth—whether you're tending to sourdough or sipping tea on your fire escape.

The best part? It’s inherently sustainable. Natural fibers like linen, cotton, and wool are the foundation of this look. Flowy skirts, wrap tops, and easy jumpsuits let you move, breathe, and be. Think comfort, not corsets. Think worn-in neutrals, not fast fashion flair.

Start with soft layers. Add an apron-style smock for garden days, a wrap dress for afternoons at the market, and a linen duster for cool evenings. Bonus points for pockets and pieces that can be worn in a hundred different ways.

You don’t need to own land to live like you do. Just choose clothes that let you feel rooted—like you could gather wildflowers or bake a pie at a moment’s notice.

Cottagecore isn’t about pretending. It’s about remembering what feels good—and dressing accordingly.
