The cottagecore aesthetic gained popularity during the pandemic as it evokes a carefree, pastoral lifestyle.
Now, Target appears to be embracing some cottagecore looks in its clothing section this fall.
Some social media users are roasting the styles as looking like "Little House on the Prairie" costumes.

Last year, the cottagecore aesthetic boomed on social media, starting with Tumblr and Instagram. The chaos of the pandemic prompted cottagecore fans to pine for fashion and décor that evokes a carefree, pastoral lifestyle.

Now, Target's autumnal clothing lineup features some pieces with a similarly rustic aesthetic. Insider identified a number of the pieces as part the in-house boho line Knox Rose, a partner fashion label called Who What Wear, and sustainably-focused owned brand Universal Thread.

The bucolic aesthetic has garnered mixed reactions on social media, with some comparing garments they've spotten in stores to costumes from "Little House in the Prairie."

But the reaction to the new fall styles hasn't been entirely negative. Some users have praised Target's autumnal clothing as "cute" and "fire."
