Cabbagecore: why fashionable people are going wild for cabbage

Cabbagecore names the idea that cabbage is having a moment. Pinterest predicts that 2026 will be the year when “boomer and gen X will say goodbye to their cauliflower obsession and crown cabbage the new kitchen champ”. Vegetables usually have seasons, but cabbage is grown pretty much year-round in Britain, and its renewed visibility is hard to ignore.

The trend has threaded into fashion and design. Vogue detailed how cabbage has moved from side dish to fashion icon: Sandy Liang’s cabbage bag hit the catwalk, Burberry ran cabbage-heavy advertising and a Highgrove country-posh collaboration leaned into the vegetable.

Cabbage flowers have turned up in arrangements, and Bordallo Pinheiro is reporting an uptick in demand for its cabbage-leaf crockery. Food culture has joined the party too. Recipes are going viral, kimchi is all the rage and charred cabbage is on restaurant menus.
