Freshly-cut flowers on the coffee table. Natural light streaming into your sitting room. You, carefree and confident, swathed in tonal layers as you flit about your day. No, this isn’t a Nancy Meyers fever dream (although you could be forgiven) – it’s the coastal grandmother aesthetic, TikTok’s latest obsession.

Coined by TikToker @lexnicoleta, the coastal grandmother aesthetic is more than a look – it’s about finding beauty in the little things and cultivating moments of happiness wherever you can. In her now-viral post (2.2mil views and counting), she explains: "If you love Nancy Meyers movies, coastal vibes, recipes and cooking, Ina Garten, interiors and more, there is a good chance you might be a coastal grandmother”. After the grimy, sweaty vibes brought on by the likes of Euphoria and Indie Sleaze, the coastal grandma aesthetic feels like a welcome breath of fresh air. 

1 / 7

Not quite ready to retire to your seaside chateau or smile serenely from the kitchen at your gaggle of adoring grandchildren? Neither. The great thing about the coastal grandmother aesthetic is that it lends itself effortlessly to everyone, no matter your age, gender or affinity for butterscotch candies.

The Wardrobe

The coastal grandma’s (un)official uniform consists of creamy white knitwear – think buttery-soft cashmere and chunky cardigans – white dresses and breezy linen pants unironically paired with your Birkenstock Bostons (because a fancy grandma is nothing if not comfortable). Look to labels like Matin, Marle and Amelius for sumptuous knits and gauzy woven linens to start building your CG capsule wardrobe.

The Accessories

Remember how we said the CG aesthetic is all about the little things? Well, we’re talking beautifully woven sun hats (perfect for pottering about the garden or reading a good book by the beach), cosy wool shawls and string tote bags to cart your fresh produce home from the farmers market.

The Lifestyle

Live your best coastal grandma life by indulging in Hamptons-inspired homewares – a beautiful white pillar candle, generously-sized throw blanket or an ornate vase for the aforementioned flowers are all great places to start. When the girlies come round for book (wine) club, create the ultimate CG tablescape with airy linen place settings, a cosy playlist and blonde timber platters to serve the treats you definitely (maybe) baked from scratch.
