Northerness

Northerness is an aesthetic related to Nordic/Scandinavian areas of the world. Those who follow this aesthetic 
have the goal of living in the north in a remote location; going back to the ancient pagan roots of Europe and a conservation of the wilderness and the old ways. 
==Visual==
The Northerness aesthetic is usually associated with the Nordic/Scandinavian countries, deep woodlands, Northern Lights, small red houses, and ancient pagan rites. It can also include the hygge atmosphere. Its clothing and interior styles are calm and muted. Things like jumpers, woolen socks, warm white light, and birch wood are all core parts of the aesthetic, along with a connection to nature and friluftsliv. 
Unlike some aspects of modern Nordic fashion, Northerness fashion doesn't have to be modern and super minimalist. It can look dated.
==Fashion==
