“Coastal Grandma” Isn’t Just A Summer Fad: Here’s How To Incorporate This Aesthetic Into Your Fall Wardrobe With A Few Staple Pieces
One of my favorite fashion trends to come out of the last year is the ‘coastal grandma aesthetic.’
TikTok user Lex Nicoleta (@lexnicoleta) first coined the trend on TikTok, where she described this kind of style and specifically referred to the kind of women you see in a Nancy Meyers movie.
Think about Diane Keaton in the 2003 Nancy Meyers movie “Something’s Gotta Give.” She’s an elegant woman who lives near the beach, sports flowy beige outfits and sun hats, loves a good glass of wine, and hangs out in the sand.
All of these traits fall under the coastal grandmother aesthetic. And no, you do not have to be a grandmother to participate in the coastal grandmother trend.
If you need more help picturing this aesthetic, think of a woman who lives linen, dinner parties, Ina Garten, buys fresh cut hydrangeas for her living room, loves earth tones and the color blue, and lives in an idyllic beach house. That’s the kind of vibe we’re looking at here.
While the coastal grandmother aesthetic is often associated with the summer, there are ways to keep the vibe, fashion, and spirit alive in the fall!
Here are some pieces you can wear to help channel your coastal grandmother fall look.
Puffer vests
These are a big part of the coastal grandmother look, and one of the best parts about them is that they’re so versatile. When paired with a turtle neck and a cute skirt or your favorite pair of jeans, a puffer vest is perfect for giving cute coastal grandmother vibes.

White-button ups
A white button-up shirt is another key element to the coastal grandmother’s look. Whether you wear it buttoned or open with another top underneath, it’s an easy way to feel a little classier and sophisticated.
Ribbed turtlenecks
Turtleneck tops and sweaters are a favorite amongst the coastal grandmother aesthetic and are one of the coziest things to wear during the fall. Many people are choosing ribbed-style sweaters to add more texture and flare to this classic fall favorite.
Tailored jeans
One of the main aspects of the coastal grandmother look is taking comfortable clothing and making it look more sophisticated and elegant. A great way to do that is by wearing some tailored jeans! Jeans with a tailored waist make them look more formal and add structure that will level up any fall outfit.
Knitted Skirts
Not only are knitted skirts adorable and fun, but they’re perfect for channeling a coastal grandmother. Why? Well, anything knit or more homemade-looking is right up the coastal grandmother’s alley.
Loafers
A good pair of loafers is now considered a wardrobe staple for many women today as they’ve made a mighty comeback in the fashion world. For the coastal grandmother look, they’re another way to keep your feet comfortable in the fall while still looking put together.
With all of these pieces in mind, go off and have fun creating your perfect coastal grandmother fall look. While you’re at it, end your day in your coastal grandmother outfit with a Nancy Meyers movie night!
