The Cottage Fairy Aesthetic

As of late, cottage fairy aesthetic has become one of Instagram’s most popular aesthetics. This is because many had incorporated fairy silhouettes, delicate floral patterns, and earthy tones into their wardrobe since 2013, when most people began to have a rekindled obsession with Jane Austen. In 2013, you would have stood out like a sore thumb with metallic embellishments, stackable rings, and designer sweatshirts. It’s now time for a wardrobe overhaul, however.

Fashion trends continue to be determined by Gen Z with TikTok’s rise. Although some of their picks might seem less familiar, they’re worth paying attention to, such as sweater vests and straight-leg jeans. As we look forward to a future in which we dress up and experiment with clothes, the Fairycore trend welcomes you to a world far dreamier than sweatpants.

A few design elements of fairycore, like embroidery and relaxed dresses, feel similar to the latter with its heavy reference to nature. This style is somewhere between whimsically sweet and grungy, yet more influenced by springtime pastels and earthy tones. Sheer fabrics, puffy dresses, or gingham prints convey the feeling of a magical picnic. It’s still alive and well to dress whimsically in a period-inspired fashion. As society seeks escapism and simplicity, the soft, ethereal aesthetic has resurfaced.

What Is Fairy Aesthetics #Fairycore?

Fairy aesthetic incorporates the elements of nature that you might find in a children’s book, such as fantastical animals (unicorns and dragons), dreamy landscapes (enchanted forests), and elements of magic (wings). The flavor of fairycore is more romantic and whimsical than its cousin, goblincore. Styles that reflect it include hooded coats with distressed gloves, pointy hoods, glittery crop tops, chunky wool knee socks, and mushroom earrings.

In addition to being rooted in nature, fairycore is also committed to being environmentally friendly. However, taking care of something you love together is something magical. Anyone can do a simple act of kindness.

What’s The Difference Between Fairycore and Cottagecore Fashion?

Cottagecore and fairycore are difficult to distinguish for many people. Both aesthetics are indeed very similar, but it’s evident that the two differ significantly from one another. Cottagecore is the vintage, nature-loving people; Fairycore is the magical ones who live in the forest. Even though both clothes choices are similar, it is safe to say that fashion is lucky. Because of the varying aesthetic styles, there are more alternatives, and creativity can make each look distinct. If you want to change from cottagecore to fairycore, then all you have to do is add some mysticism to your outfits and your attitude.
