From kitschy knitwear to brown loafers.
The coastal grandma fashion trend is so 2023. This year, none other than your grandfather is your source of inspiration.
Eclectic Grandpa
“Grandpa core” and “grandpa style” are frequently searched for and saved on Pinterest. The social medium predicts that Eclectic Grandpa will become a major fashion trend in 2024. We already saw some grandpa items a lot last year, such as trousers, oversized blazer and dad shoe, but this year we will take it even further. Think of kitschy knitwear, loafers, caps, watches, the color brown, the checked pattern and everything retro or vintage. And if possible, all combined together. Need inspiration? These influencers came before you.

Catwalk
The older generation is also popular on the catwalk. During the Loewe show we saw ultra high-waisted trousers, chunky knitted sweaters and polo shirts. At Miu Miu we saw large glasses, checked shirts and faded leather handbags. Wales Bonner went for the V-neck, checks and combined thick knits with sweatpants. We have collected our favorite items for you.
Sézane – €280
Armed Angels – €229.90
Samsøe Samsøe – €50
Mercer – €169
Vince – €315
Stand Studio – €209
To invest
But there is more behind this trend. Because to look as unique and chic as the grandfathers this trend was inspired by, you need a closet full of special, high-quality items that you can enjoy for years to come. This means investing in a few beautiful, timeless items that will last a lifetime instead of a wardrobe full of clothes that you get tired of after a season.
