Fashion: Cottagecore and More

INSPIRING COTTAGECORE TRENDS

with Visual Impact

Visual Impact Ladies are taking style inspiration from two women with guitars, coming on fierce, cool, arrogant, lusty, funny, not the least bit apologetic. They’re the most exciting new rock chancers in years… They are Wet Leg. The duo Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers are often described as a couple of artsy rock & rollers who want too much, feel too much, hate too much, while chasing too many good times. No wonder the world was so ready to fall madly in love with them. After two years of quarantine blues, there was just a widespread cultural craving for this kind of action, and Wet Leg were as surprised as anyone when they tapped into it.

“Serious hat-wearing cottage-core lady”

Get the look in gingham

Gingham dresses are a fashion staple that never goes out of style. While most people associate gingham with a particular print, it refers to the fabric. Light-weight in texture, gingham is made out of cotton or cotton blend fabric that serves as the perfect material for the spring and summer months.

Stride out in sustainable sandals

This women’s sandal features a comfortable and eco-conscious GreenStride™ sole made of 75% renewable material. The upper is crafted from premium Better Leather, which is sourced from a sustainable tannery, rated silver for its environmental processes. Sturdy enough for a range of activities, the Ray City fisherman-style sandal has a rubber lug outsole for enhanced traction.

Must-have trend: the pyjama blouse

Some pyjamas almost feel too fancy to wear to bed, so we’re fans of breaking out those satin and silky shirts in the daytime, too. A pair of baggy or tapered leg jeans will balance out the look, keeping this staple sleek instead of over-the-top.
