The ‘Coastal Grandmother’ trend is the new aspirational vibe—here’s how to get it

This is a classic summer staple no matter what the current trend is. Are you heading to the farmer’s market or to the boat club for an afternoon sailing excursion? It’s perfect for any and all occasions.

These pants are just as airy and comfy as they look. You can pair them with a tank and a straw hat or a sweater and some gold bangles. The best part is they’re pull-on pants—no zippers or buttons, just pure beachy comfort.

This is so much more than a straw bag—it’s a coastal (and summer in general) necessity. You can pack your favorite pair of oversized sunnies and a tube of sunscreen in this baby while you browse the fresh fruits and vegetables at your local outdoor market. (Or pretend to—the aesthetic is what really counts, here.)

A crisp button-down shirt is a must-have. It’s great for casual occasions (it can always double as a beach cover-up) and can be spruced up for an evening dinner al fresco.

Slip your sun-kissed tootsies into these perfectly coastal sandals and go buy all of the ingredients you’ll need for a Meryl Streep in It’s Complicated kind of feast (whether you cook it or not is up to you).

Keep the sun off your face while keeping your coastal grandmother vibe in check.

For those windy summer afternoons or evenings when you’re curling up outside with your favorite book or enjoying a glass of wine with a friend (at the beach or on your porch, it doesn’t matter), this sweater is a must-have for the CG aesthetic.

The collar! The smartly belted but still relaxed tie waist! The tiered hem! Be still our coastal grandma hearts.

You know what they say—the sun never sets on a coastal grandma. These chic tortoiseshell frames would make Miranda Priestly herself jealous.

It’s all in the name! There’s nothing more classic than a chunky gold charm bracelet-style bracelet. Nothing says “I’ll take a bouquet of peonies and your best mascarpone” quite like a wrist donning this piece.

What else are you supposed to wear on a beach day in the Hamptons? Meet Saint Holiday’s Lobby Caftan. She’s breezy. She’s sophisticated. She’s the sarong’s more sophisticated sister and she cannot be stopped.

The coastal look isn’t just relegated to fashion, darlings. Your entire home can be as aesthetically pleasing as any Nancy Meyers film set in existence, starting with this relaxing bedding set.

Could there be a more perfect spot for your freshly-cut hydrangeas? I think not.
