Cottagecore GirlWhen you start incorporating a new aesthetic into your life, it may be difficult to know where to start – especially if you haven’t got the time or money to completely repurchase clothing.
The best way to start is by looking into the aesthetic online and narrowing down what elements you do and don’t like. For instance, you may love Cottagecore, but prefer to steer away from the faerie side, and stick to the more 18th-century peasant look.
Grandmacore is one of our favourite aesthetics trending right now, but it is also one of the more difficult ones to get into. If you want to incorporate this aesthetic into your fashion more, we have some ways you can utilise your existing clothing items to be a part of this community!
What Is Grandmacore?
In the simplest terms, Grandmacore is a beauty, fashion, home and lifestyle aesthetic that minims the feeling of warmth and security one may feel from their grandparents; think freshly baked goods, knitting, gardening and wearing an apron.
This aesthetic prioritises a lifestyle of doing what you enjoy and spending your time with those you love most.
Outfit One
The first outfit we highly recommend involves a top, pants and cardigan. For the top, either wear a plain white tee or a white button down. The pants should be loose-fitting jeans or linen pants (preferably with a pattern). The cardigan will hopefully be oversized, but it’s not a deal breaker if it’s not.
This outfit will be perfect for running errands, shopping at your local farmers market, or cleaning your home. Pair with a comfortable pair of shoes, some cute gold jewellery and maybe even a beret to complete to look.
Outfit Two
The next outfit will require a long skirt, a turtleneck and a jacket or sweater. Any long skirt will work well, but it preferably needs to be loose and flowy. The turtleneck needs to be simple and casual, nothing patterned or bright. The outer layer should be some form of coat or sweater that is comfortable as well as warm.
Pair with some boots, an over-the-shoulder purse and some thin glasses to complete the look. Wear for a day out or to do some gardening on a chilly day.
Outfit Three
If you need an outfit for cleaning the house and baking fresh pies, sweets and bread, this is the one for you! Pair a sweater with a pair of pants for the ultimate chore outfit! For the sweater, choose something thinner and full-coverage so you aren’t too hot, but still protected while baking. The pants should be comfortable for walking and bending, and be loose fitting.
To finish the look, you can pair with a bandana headband and an apron.
Outfit Four
This outfit will involve a cardigan, long dress and some fun accessories. The sweater should be oversized and warm. The dress should be supportive, but flowy.
Pair with a bandana headband, a basket and comfortable shoes for the perfect walking and gardening outfit. You could even add on an apron if you want somewhere to store trinkets you find along the way!
Outfit Five
Our final outfit is perfect for days sitting by the fire or television and knitting, crocheting, or painting. Grab a pair of pants, a fitted top and a sweater. The pants should be comfortable and stretchy for easy sitting. The top should be fitted and casual. Finally, the sweater should be oversized and warm.
Pair with some slippers, and your hair in braids to keep it out of your face.
