Cottagecore Boys & Girls
Ah cottagecore, one of the most grandest trends sweeping the mainstream naming communities this year. Think Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie, Little Women, Pride & Prejudice and The Secret Garden. All these beloved classic films and television shows perfectly depict the cottagecore vibe.

It is the perfect blend of nature meets vintage.
Do you long for the days of frolicking through the meadows in your flowy lace dresses, sipping tea while baking bread from scratch, watching little tree frogs sit on mushrooms while picking flowers in the garden, detailing embroidery and listening to Taylor Swift’s folklore album as the rain drips of the tin rooftops, then I’d say your aesthetic is definitely cottagecore!
