If there’s one aesthetic I’ve loved long before it had a name, it’s this one. Coastal Grandmother Style Is Still Trending—Here’s How to Pull It Off in 2025! Think breezy stripes, crisp whites, sun-soaked strolls, a great straw tote, and a lifestyle that’s equal parts relaxed and refined. You don’t have to actually be a grandmother—or live on the coast—to pull it off. You just need to love a slow morning, fresh flowers in the kitchen, and timeless pieces that make you feel like you just stepped out of a Nancy Meyers movie.
So I pulled together a fresh collage of classic-meets-coastal favorites that channel this dreamy style in the most wearable way. Whether you’re heading to the farmers market or planning a quiet weekend at home, these pieces will have you feeling effortlessly chic.
Let’s dive in!
What Exactly Is Coastal Grandmother Style?
The term might sound playful, but the vibe is pure timeless elegance. Coastal Grandmother is all about those effortlessly put-together looks you’d imagine Diane Keaton wearing while sipping lemonade in a beach house kitchen with the windows open. It’s easygoing but elevated. Soft, sun-washed layers. Clean neutrals. Stripes, always. And pieces that feel just as good on vacation as they do on a casual Sunday morning at home.
I love it because it celebrates the simple joys of life—long walks, linen pants, a bowl of fresh citrus on the counter. It’s style that doesn’t scream for attention, but still makes you feel beautiful, pulled-together, and grounded.

Here’s what I included in this season’s edit—pieces that give that effortlessly polished look:
- Striped Knit Sweater – I’m always drawn to a navy-and-cream stripe. It feels nautical without being over the top and works for cool mornings or breezy evenings.
- White Bucket Hat – Sun protection, but make it chic. This one with a tie detail is a go-to for morning walks or beach reads.
- Blue and White Striped Pajama Set – These pajamas are the coziest ever—perfect for slow mornings, reading in bed, or lounging with a fresh cup of coffee.
- Striped One-Piece Swimsuit – A classic. This one is flattering and functional for pool days or layered with linen pants for a beachy look.
- White Wide-Leg Jeans – A warm-weather staple. They instantly elevate a basic tee or tank and pair perfectly with a lightweight sweater.
- Oversized Sunglasses – These instantly give that polished, pulled-together feel. I never leave the house without a pair.
- Canvas Sneakers & Woven Flats – Both are practical and pretty. I love having options for either errands or summer strolls.
- Straw Tote Bag – It holds everything—flowers, a good book, beach essentials—and looks good doing it.
- Linen White Shorts – So breezy and flattering. I wear these on heavy repeat all summer with the striped one-piece.
