Every summer one style trend will have the world in a chokehold, and this year it's the coastal grandma and, for once, this is less so a micro trend and more a timeless style (and lifestyle!) You may be wondering ‘what the hell is coastal grandma’ and why is it all over the internet? Even if you are unaware of the specific phrase, you have almost certainly seen this style on the likes of Diane Keaton, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and countless more. The coastal grandma lives life in the slow lane, cooks and bakes from scratch, takes long walks on the beach and prefers bright neutrals. White and blue, linen and cotton, wicker and rattan are all hallmarks of this classic style. In many ways, you could say that coastal grandma is a simpler and more elevated version of cottagecore!
