The aesthetics of ＂lying flat＂ in fashion circle： tired, not awkward.

If any word can be the aesthetic benchmark of this year’s fashion circle, it is Cottagecore.

Maybe you are unfamiliar with this uncommon English vocabulary, but you must have seen a lot of fashion trends in Cottagecore style. From show layout to fashion trends to leisure activities, the natural aesthetic style under Cottagecore aesthetics is permeated.

Cottagecore actually comes from an Internet aesthetics, which Wikipedia explains:

"Cottagecore celebrates the return to traditional skills and crafts, such as foraging, baking and pottery, and is related to similar nostalgic aesthetic movements, such as grandmothers, farms and fairies. According to its supporters, Cottagecore’s idea can help satisfy people’s general desire for’ nostalgic longing form’ and get rid of many realistic pressures. "

Many years ago, when the career of designer John Galliano was hit hard, this village farmhouse, which seemed to be in a paradise, became his refuge and enjoyed the pastoral pastoral style of Cottagecore.

Cottagecore is more accurately a comprehensive style of fashion and lifestyle, which may be an atmosphere created by a dress, a trivial matter in daily life or even a photo.

Picnics and camping in this year’s fire are the best proof that Cottagecore style is becoming popular. Doing more outdoor activities and being close to nature may also be an important reason why Cottagecore has become a global fashion trend in a special period.

For fashion, the appearance of Cottagecore has impacted the Normcore style that has been popular in fashion circles for many years. Unlike the sense of high-class that Normcore style advocates like, Cottagecore has a rare simple texture.

They don’t refuse colors, and they don’t have too many collocation skills. Everything seems relaxed and natural. The first brand to set off the craze of Cottagecore in the fashion field is the brand represented by the southern French style, such as Jacquemus, who walked the catwalk in wheat fields and lavender fields.

Jacquemus’s social media self-introduction is full of Cottagecore spirit.

"My name is Simon Porte Jacquemus, I love blue and white, I love stripes, I love the sun, I love fruit, I love poetry, I love Marseille and the 1980s."

Not as exquisite and fashionable as Parisians, the fashion in southern France has a primitive natural flavor. Their greatest romance when making clothes is that they are permeated with printing and handicrafts related to nature everywhere. After polishing, the rough texture is more charming than exquisite things.

The easiest item to get in the Cottagecore style in autumn and winter is the grandma sweater with printing or embroidery, and generally there are various flower patterns embroidered on it.

This kind of sweater is generally a heavy knitted fabric, which completely breaks the setting that the sweater is the basic model. The complicated design reveals a warm sense of family craftsmanship, as if it really looks like the sweater knitted by my grandmother when I was a child.

Sweaters are more retro by adding the weaving technique of twisted flowers to the weave. Twisted sweaters are also a very popular sweater trend this year, even if they appear alone, they will be brilliant enough.

Doll collar is also a good choice with thick thread knitting. The same temperament between water-soluble lace and twisted pattern road makes the two complicated designs fit perfectly.

The matching of thick-line needle sweaters is easy and simple. Cottagecore is a kind of retro style to a certain extent. The single items in the old days always have a taste that new things don’t have.

American Cottagecore is more colorful. This popular element from carpet weaving has a strong hippie style in the 1970s. Granny Square was originally a pattern created by disassembling sweaters and socks and weaving them again.

Patterns with strong ethnic customs are matched with bright colors, with a little simplicity and cuteness of farm girls. Cottagecore’s sense of craftsmanship is undoubtedly displayed in Granny Square.

Granny Square appears on bags and hats, which is lighter and more everyday in modern collocation.

Similar to Granny Square, China Baijia cloth often appears in American Vintage, which is also a single product of Cottagecore.

The "old" pursued by Cottagecore is actually an elaborate "imperfection". Too formal fashion always feels too distant, but this "patchwork" fashion makes people feel kind.

Don’t talk too much about the fashion in Copenhagen. Except for the Normcore school represented by Totême, the color aesthetics in Northern Europe is the natural pastoral beauty with Cottagecore.

The fairy tale flavor of Nordic countries, flowers and forests together create their unique color style, without the gray tone of Mo Landi color system, all colors are fresh and bright, and even the heavy coat in autumn and winter has the gentle texture of grandma.

Fashionable girls who go to the market in the countryside wear headscarves and vegetable baskets. They never care about the fashionable conclusion that they can’t wear more than three colors. It is the use of a lot of colors that makes this Cottagecore style lovely and natural.

The essence of Cottagecore fashion is that there is no collocation rule, and they strive to create a relaxed fashion style. You don’t have to think hard about how to match it every day. Flower skirt+flower sweater also has its meaning.

In this era of lying flat all the time, but never without involution, being close to nature and returning to simplicity has become a luxurious lifestyle. This is probably the meaning that Cottagecore aesthetics has become a popular trend, creating the sense of ritual you want in your daily life and wearing. Don’t push, be a Cottagecore girl.

By the way, you can also go home and look through grandma’s closet, which may make your Cottagecore have a different style.
