Cottagecore GirlOkay everyone, it’s time for some Cottagecore-esque quotes.
We’ve said it time and time again, but Cottagecore has stolen the hearts and minds (and styles) of many people during the pandemic by giving an uplifting outlook on the world and romanticising the simplicity we were all stuck in.
But if you don’t know what Cottagecore is yet, don’t be ashamed, you’re not the only one – basically, it is the romanisation of rural and country life.
From making jams and sourdough bread from your own kitchen to tending to gardens and having picnics in meadows, Cottagecore is the ultimate aesthetic right now.
However, while the name is relatively new, that doesn’t mean the concepts are – especially not to the 19th century Romantic poets and transcendentalists.
These quotes are perfect for fairy tales, fantasy, softness and whimsy and helping you escape the modern world.
