The Coziest Cabincore Guide to Scape into the Woods

Cabins, mountains, solitude. These three words pretty much define what Cabincore is mainly about. As with all the aesthetics, Cabincore also romanticizes the elements that compose a lifestyle – In this case, the adventurous fall-winter lifestyle, enjoying the coziness of an off-grid cabin in the wild.

For Cabincore enthusiasts, spending some time enjoying the comfy vibes of a charming cabin nestled in the woods feels more than just a vacation. For them, Cabins are a like magical gateway.

In all aesthetic guides I write, I like to point out that in the Mood Guide, unlike most of the big magazines out there, we don’t perceive aesthetics as a fashion trend. As a geeky, introverted graphic designer myself, I fell in love with the aesthetics universe in 2018 because I immediately felt it was a great tool for self-discovery and embracing my authenticity.

Magazines X or Y may tell you that Cabincore is now a fall trend, but if you love escaping to a cabin in the middle of the woods and wearing flannels, if it truly makes you happy and fulfilled, then Cabincore will always be a ¨trend¨ to you, regardless of what magazines dictate.

Rest, Relax, Recharge

I write an aesthetic guide not to put anyone in a fashion, or trend box, but to inspire people to find, through visual storytelling, their authentic selves.

So, in this post, I will break down the details of the Cabincore aesthetic for those who want to feel and understand a little bit more of this cozy, chili, and outdoorsy lifestyle. Enjoy!

Mix adventurecore with Granola girl, but filter it to fall, winter, and cabins in the mountains, and we get the big picture of cabin core aesthetic.
