How To Channel Your Inner Coastal Grandma
By now we’re sure you’ve heard the term “coastal grandma,” but perhaps aren’t quite sure what that is or what it looks like. That’s where we come in. The term coastal grandma refers to a style of dressing relaxed, comfortable, and timeless and basically reflects the coastal lifestyle. Think Diane Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give type vibes or Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan Sun. Although the term “grandma” is in this trending title, don’t get caught up thinking it’s restricted to a mature group of women; no, being a coastal grandma goes far beyond age and style. It’s a mindset and a total vibe.
So how to totally ace this whole vibe? We have a few tips and the first is to Choose lightweight and breathable fabrics that are comfortable to wear in warm weather. Think linen, cotton, and chambray. You want to choose pieces that feel lived in and relaxed. Next, pay attention to silhouettes. Coastal grandmas wouldn’t be caught in a bodycon dress or even leggings. No, instead opt for flowing silhouettes that allow for ease of movement and comfort. Flowy dresses, wide-leg pants, and oversized tops are all great options. Think coastal, which means ocean waves, the flowing breeze and clothing to match.
Finally, and most importantly, you want to embrace layering. Lightweight cardigans, linen jackets, or oversized shirts that you can easily throw on when the temperature cools down or easily take off when the weather warms up. Coastal weather is unpredictable so we have to dress accordingly. Remember, channeling your inner coastal grandma should be easy and effortless, so don’t overthink this one. Just channel your inner Keaton, and you’re halfway there.
