Happy Thursday, ladies! Who knew I was a coastal grandmother without having grandchildren?! What is a coastal grandmother you ask? Back in April, a TikTok video went viral after a 30-something professed her love of, “Nancy Meyers movies, coastal vibes, recipes and cooking, Ina Garten and cozy interiors.” These are all the things Style at a Certain Age shares week after week---a love of home and hearth, entertaining family and friends, and a casual chic vibe that's now known as the coastal grandmother.

I couldn’t resist slipping into summer neutrals today and share my take on this summer trend. Trend? Nope. This is my summer 2022 version of wardrobe essentials that can be mixed and matched all season long.

How To Wear The Coastal Grandmother Trend

1. Chunky Cardigan

(Banana Republic)

The coastal grandmother trend is in this year. And if you Google it, you'll get tons and tons of articles detailing the look. In short, think Diane Keaton from Something's Gotta Give ---neutrals, chunky sweaters, wide-leg linen pants, sandals, and hats.

That's basically the outfit I put together today. Loving this chunky cardigan from Banana, which I've layered on top of a bodysuit from J.Crew. Add a pair of wide-leg pants and you've basically nailed the look.

I don't think I've featured Christina Lombardi on the blog before. Absolutely adore these sandals as they've got an interesting twist on the strappy sandal. Definitely on my top 10 favorites for Summer 2022.
