The cottage core house dress is the perfect ensemble for the season. Julia Cherruault for Observer
Spring is fast approaching, and with that in mind, we think that there’s never been a better time to fully embrace the allure of the house dress. There’s just something incredibly appealing about a frock that’s comfortable enough to spend all day in, but is also an actual outfit and not the same matching sweatsuit that may or may not have become the unofficial uniform of 2020.
Whether it’s the months on end spent at home in questionable fashion choices, or the release of not one, but two Taylor Swift albums last year that provided peak idyllic living-in-the-woods sartorial inspiration, we have never been more ready for the never-ending season of the cottagecore house dress.

Sure, the prospect of waking up and putting on real clothing as opposed to your go-to athleisure (or just donning a fresh pair of PJs) might seem daunting, but that’s where the house dress comes into play. The flowy and whimsical cottagecore dress is the ideal combination of comfort and style, because in the year 2021 you shouldn’t have to choose between the two. Also, the idea of putting on jeans is really not for us right now, so please prepare for house dress overload for the foreseeable future.
Below, see our favorite stylish (and comfortable) cottagecore house dresses that we want to live in right now.

Ba&sh Vika Print Midi Dress
A dark floral is key for these in-between months, and we’re obsessed with the French girl look of this Ba&sh frock, with just a few ruffle accents and demure sleeves. It’s also the perfect floaty midi silhouette, with just the right amount of tailoring around the waist so you’re not swimming in the loose fabric. $335, Ba&sh.

Hill House Home Ellie Nap Dress in Pastel Trellis
Hill House Home’s oh-so-chic nap dresses were the unofficial uniform of at-home fashion girls in 2020, and we don’t see that changing anytime soon in 2021. The latest English Garden collection is everything we want in a house dress right now—they’re peak cottagecore (in the best way possible), in ditsy floral prints. $125, Hill House Home.

Ganni Tiered Floral Georgette Midi Shirt Dress
Think of this midi shirt dress as your cottagecore starter look, for those that aren’t sure if they’re fully sold on the trend. The grey floral pattern is just moody enough, and we love that you can wear the tiered shift just as well with a black ankle boot as with a classic ballet flat. $245, Net-a-Porter.
