Many don’t know about Wilderkinda, what is it? Well basically it’s a German word that consists of two words: wilder (wild) and kind (child). When you pair these words together, you will get a phrase that sums up the wild and adventurous spirit of childhood perfectly! I stumbled upon this word while pinning around Pinterest and apparently, it is also one of the most famous trends for this year. This fashion trend is directly linked to nature and elements of forests, mountains, use of earthy and muted tones, simple silhouette, natural fibres and fabrics, exaggerated volumes, sculptural shapes that look as though they have organically grown on the body.
While the cottagecore trend looks at domestic rural life from the perspective of a homemaker (baking bread, floral aprons) but Wilderkind is all about celebrating nature itself, like the forestcore but with a more fashion poetic twist.
This is actually one of the most popular outfits of this style, because it truly includes all of the elements that combine to make up a woody colored wardrobe. These types of outfits consist of oversized jumpers, cargos and sturdy boots. It is then a matter of choosing colors from within nature that will complement the overall look, which for the woodland wardrobe is mainly moss green, brown, and beige. As we have already explained, a woodland wardrobe is all about creating comfortable outfits for those long cold winter days.
By layering soft items of knitwear with a little more structured items like trousers, you will be able to create visually interesting textures to create an outfit that is balanced and also at the same time extremely comfortable. The fact that items like wool and cotton are natural fibers means they too can add texture to our outfits when we use the layering technique.
This style is for summer looks and fabrics are softer also look more romantic than ever. We adore flowing dresses made from linen, chunky knitted cardigans and simple sandals and with these outfits you’re halfway there to understanding the feminine style. Delicate lace trim, embroidered flowers or hand-carved wooden buttons add the finishing touches to reflect the creative style of your unique summer look.
Wilderkind fashion as a whole is on the rise due to the fact that more and more people wish to connect to comfort, authenticity and nature. Wilderkind fashion is very flexible and open mainly because it is unisex. The overall concept is based on the principles of equality where women can wear items such as oversized cardigans, utility jackets and woven accessories, and men can wear items such as flannels, cargo trousers and high-quality, durable boots. In an era dominated by fast fashion and ever-changing trends, clothing that allows individuals to connect to nature in an authentic way is a much needed source of calm and grounding.
The aim of this aesthetic is to encourage a way of life in which clothing serves as an expression of personal identity while at the same time maintaining its comfort function. Many people today are becoming increasingly aware of the need for sustainable and eco-friendly fashion because they desire clothing that is made from natural products and lasts for a long time instead of being fast-fashion disposable items.
Also, social media has turned the fashion and slow living trends into a way for people who adore nature to visually connect with other like-minded people through the use of forest-inspired outfits and slow living images. Wilderkind fashion thus meets the needs of contemporary consumers at the same time reflecting their basic humanity by providing a unique combination of functionality, individuality and a long-lasting connection to nature.
