Cottage core world for monsoon escapes
Volume 2, Issue-23
Looking for an aesthetic that endorses simple living and high thinking? How about spending a day planting flowers, playing with pets, and reading Jane Austen? Let’s explore Cottagecore.
Cottagecore is an Internet fashion aesthetic promulgated by teenagers and young adults celebrating an idealized rural life. It values traditional skills and crafts such as foraging, baking, and pottery, and is related to similar nostalgic aesthetic movements such as grandmacore, farmcore, goblincore, and fairycore.
We cover this interesting genre with podcasts, videos, and recommendations around the same.
