Few things are as pleasurable as being cabin-bound, duffel bags packed in the back of the car, the empty road ahead - tunes on the stereo and sunshine gleaming in the rearview mirror. You're ready for a weekend trip - but not just any old trip, one where you escape to the countryside to live out your very best cottagecore life.

Let's face it - dressing like you're living in Downton Abbey is a shmood. The best part of it is, there are innumerable ways to express yourself in the old-timey, wholesome way that is cottagecore. In this article, we will stroll through a number of pieces that not only embody girl moss energy but also feature stellar patterning to make life a little more intriguing.

Maybe you can't always have the fairytale - but you could make the choice to dress like it. Take a wander through the woods with us as we display the very finest that Mr Porter, Matches, Slam Jam and The Outnet have to offer.

Who said cottagecore can't be a little, well, trippy? Case in point: the Gucci mushroom sweater below.

Gucci doesn't often foray into something quite as kooky as this. But they've managed to pull it off to perfection. On just the right side of quirk, this one. This mushroom is incidentally the unofficial logo of the cottagecore movement.

A gathered skirt begs for an old-timey apron, and screams that you've just been baking. Whether or not you are so inclined, a skirt like this hits all of the right notes for a weekend in the name of cottagecore.

A lace collar with a high button-up puts an almost biblical spin to the cottagecore aesthetic. It's giving preacherman's (somewhat edgy) daughter. It's perfect for layering up with knits and boots this winter.
