Whether you’ve heard of cottagecore or not, you’ve definitely seen it on Instagram. Think Little House on the Prarie and Bridgerton picnic vibes. Cottagecore is all about romance and femininity. And there’s no easier way to get the look than with cottagecore dresses for summer.
When shopping for cottagecore dresses, there are a few things to keep your eye out for. If you see ruffles, smocking, delicate florals, or puff sleeves, you’re in the right place. And if you see all of them, you’ve hit cottagecore jackpot. If you pick up a dress and immediately imagine yourself picking berries in the English countryside or posted up on a picnic blanket drinking rosé, you have successfully found cottagecore.
Below I’ve linked the 8 best cottagecore dresses for summer 2021. These dresses bring all the romantic vibes. If the over-the-top romance feels a bit much, remember you can always tone it down with a pair of tough shoes. Chunky black sandals or boots will do the job nicely. But don’t be afraid to embrace the trend and go full-romance. It’s a look that works very well right now.
