Countryside (slavic, folklore, cottage-core) style
The countryside style is simple, based on the traditions and dress of people living in the rural areas, mostly poorer and mostly in the past. In my country it is a style inspired mainly by Slavic folklore, while internationally its most famous variant is the more romantic one called cottage-core. I know it as a style inspired by the life of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. But above all, it is practical – at least as practical as the clothes of village women in the days when they didn’t wear trousers yet. Overall, it should look simple, natural and a bit like from the good ol’ days with clothes that you can wear to the meadow, the forest or the stable.
Personality
Just as simple as this style are the women wearing it – and I don’t mean simple as in simple-minded. They like tradition and the olden days, they prefer a rural lifestyle, they long for a house, a garden, a big family and maybe they would like to have a few animals, home-grown eggs and milk made at home or at least from a farmer instead of a supermarket. Understandably they like folklore stuff, they like to listen to old tales, maybe even dance or sing in a folk band. They know about herbs and folk medicine. They are practical, sensible, don’t need much glitter, and would rather go to the mountains than lounge by the sea.
Appearance
They can wear trousers, but dresses and skirts with blouses are more common, with comfortable shoes and possibly a scarf on their head or shoulders. They prefer simple jewellery made of beads – for example red ones. It is normal for them to have at least one apron, at least for cooking. A great accessory is a scarf with folklore patterns or an embroidered jacket. They often wear braids or chignons to keep their hair out of the way. Anything inspired by old times and the countryside is right up their alley.
