This trend, which originated from TikTok, promotes slow living to calm our hyper-stimulated lives. 

<p style="text-align:justify">Perhaps you&rsquo;ve come across it on TikTok or<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/cottagecore/"> in your Instagram feeds</a>.&nbsp;Images of young women lying in the grass, cradling bunnies in bohemian outfits&nbsp;like straight out&nbsp;of <em>Picnic at Hanging Rock</em>. Meet the new subculture: Cottagecore.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Cottagecore is <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/apr/15/why-is-cottagecore-booming-because-being-outside-is-now-the-ultimate-taboo">a visual and lifestyle movement designed to fetishize the wholesome purity of the outdoors, spearheaded by teenagers of TikTok.</a> Also known as Farmcore or Countrycore, this aesthetic trend is centered around a lifestyle that is harmonious and one with nature, with a focus on slow living and domesticity - a sharp contrast from our hyper digital and stimulated lives today.&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><iframe frameborder="0" height="800" scrolling="no" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CDoUb90pjT4/embed" width="700"></iframe></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Some cottagecore activities include: maintaining a sourdough starter, getting yourself a floral print dress with ruffles, finding refuge in the great outdoors (hike at Bukit Timah Hill, anyone?), and general gardening, cooking, and frolicking (ideally in a forested area).</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Cottagecore may have emerged as early as 2017, thanks to its popularity on TikTok, according to <strong>Noemie S&eacute;rieux,</strong> founder of the Instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cottagecoreblackfolk/?hl=en">CottagecoreBlackFolk</a>. But with the pandemic hitting us this year, and the extra time we&rsquo;ve had in our hands thanks to quarantine, cottagecore as a trend really blossomed as a means to finding personal fulfillment and purpose outside of capitalism and our monetary potential.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Besides its meaningful, domestic activities, cottagecore as a trend&nbsp;also offers ample inspiration for fashion, especially for summer and warmer weathers such as in Singapore. And in&nbsp;keeping with its philosophy of&nbsp;harmonious living with nature, here are some thoughtful, conscious fashion labels that embrace slow living, and fit perfectly into a cottagecore lifestyle.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Handmade to order by a mother-daughter duo in their native France, in small runs and only a few hours a week - which makes getting your hands on their pieces elusive and all the more covetable - MaisonCléo uses fabrics such as silk, cotton and linen for their designs. It also counts <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4cK_CgrzP/">Marie Bernad</a>&nbsp;</strong>and <strong>Leandra Medine</strong> as fans.</p>
