As the saying goes “what’s old, is new.” The fashion industry has proved that true many times over. With vintage pieces coming back and thrifting becoming a certifiable hobby, people are starting to appreciate the older gems in life. In recent seasons, designers like Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta and Marc Jacobs have paid homage to the women we’ve been stealing fashion from for years: our grandmothers. Staples like lace, floral, plaid, pearls and knits that every fashionista already has (or should have) in her closet are all you’ll need to go granny chic. But if you still need a little guidance or hand to lead the way, take a peek at some suggested picks complete with styling tips below.
Nothing screams grandmother like a sweater paired with a silk scarf and a long skirt. Exchanging your cotton skirt for a lace one will keep you looking young and on trend.
My grandmother has always loved fur, but who’s doesn’t? Dress up your plaid trousers and cardigan with a faux fur vest (or real for the ballers) on top.
