Soft Colonial Wanderlust

Soft Colonial Wanderlust is an aesthetic that draws inspiration from Victorian and pre-WW2 eras. It was popular mainly in the early 2010s through the hipster trend, which was at its peak at the time. It overlapped other popular aesthetics at the time such as Boho Chic and even aesthetics that date back to the late 1980s.

Main characteristics of Soft Colonial Wanderlust include vintage objects such as typewriters, phonographs and hats, hot air balloons and vintage-styled advertising with illustrations of animals and plants. There is some overlap with steampunk and atompunk which is more grounded in media as a whole rather than commercial applications like advertisements and music videos.
