The coastal grandmother aesthetic has been sweeping social media and infiltrating friend groups—and it’s hard to hate a trend that personifies a laid back, beachy vibe. And while the breezy aesthetic was hot this past spring and summer, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit perfectly in these upcoming fall and winter months.
The best part is that not only is it easy to achieve this style in both your clothing and home decor during the year’s coziest months, but there are also plenty of ways that your pet can correspond as well. And we'll show you how.
Coastal Grandmother for Pets This Fall
What Is Coastal Grandmother Style?
And How Does It Fit Into Fall?
And How Does It Fit Into Fall?
While the trend’s name does indeed include “grandmother” in the title, it’s really an aesthetic that can be taken on by anyone.
Coastal grandmother embraces crisp, clean colors and earth tones, as well as simple and loose-fitting silhouettes for clothing. Think of light beige or soft blue loose-knit sweaters and white linen pants. Oversized white button-ups and rattan sun hats are also totally on this menu.
Fashion stylist Gabrielle Porcaro says that Diane Keaton in the 2003 rom-com "Something's Gotta Give" is the perfect example of the style.
“I think the urge to stay comfortable post-pandemic is what made the relaxed style so popular,” says Porcaro. “It's the epitome of easy, chic yet comfortable.”
And if you think this trend only fits in the spring and summer months, think again.
“It's definitely a trans-seasonal trend for both fashion and home,” says Porcaro, who believes the trend is actually a better fit for fall and winter. “I think the big adjustment is swapping out lighter fabrics for heavier, more cozy ones. Pull in more textures, like ribbed or braided pieces, or plush, super soft pieces.”
When integrating the coastal grandmother aesthetic into your home décor, opt for neutral colors and natural materials, like wicker, shells, branches and wood pieces. Skip the bold, busy fabrics and patterns.
Basically, prioritize “anything that looks like it was found in nature,” Porcaro says.
Oh, and don’t forget to include the coziest fabrics you can get your hands on.
