What is cabincore?
While the cottagecore aesthetic paints a picture of being in a cottage in the English countryside, surrounded by meadows, cupcakes and cups of tea, the cabincore aesthetic centres around the idea of being cosied up in a log cabin, being toasted by a log fire as you gaze at mountains in the horizon.
So what do you need to perfect the cottagecore look?
Think chunky knits, heavy-duty boots, corduroy and flannel shackets aplenty, for a look that errs on the glamorous side of hiking holiday getup.
We’ve rounded up some of the trend’s must-have pieces, so you can feel cute and cosy this winter.

A chunky knit is a must for this aesthetic, and we love this H&M sweater vest from their Conscious collection.

BDG Brendan Spliced Check Cropped Shirt, £39, Urban Outfitters – buy now
Can you imagine going on a hiking holiday without a flannel shirt?
The mixed chwck skirt isn’t just stylish, but it’s practical and comfy too, which is all we want this year.
Mom jeans, £80, Wrangler – buy now
Jeans are a staple for anyone’s wardrobe and are a key component of the cabincore look.
This pair of vintage-style mom jeans from Wrangler will look perfect teamed with a check skirt and chunky boots.
Utility Jacket, now £25, Monki – buy now
Khaki suits every skin tone and is one of the key colours of the cabincore aesthetic, so we love this casual jacket from Monki.
Trousers, £29.99, Mango – buy now
If jeans aren’t your vibe, try a pair of culottes.
This beautiful beige pair of trousers can be worn with this matching shirt as part of a co-ord, or teamed with a chunky knit and boots to achieve the look.
Check dress, now £23, Weekday – buy now
Like Paula Sutton from Hillhouse Vintage, you don’t need to wear trousers to make this look work.
Opt instead for a check dress and chunky boots to make the look work for you.
Boots, £199, Kurt Geiger – buy now
Chunky boots aren’t going anywhere soon, so they’re worth investing in.
This pair from Kurt Geiger are definitely more of a splurge item than a penny saving purchase, but they’re sturdy, comfy and stylish – everything the cabincore trend represents.
