By request, a plus size coastal grandmother outfit.
The Coastal Grandmother Trend
For those of you who haven’t heard of the “coastal grandmother” trend, it’s easy linen, button down shirts, cotton sweaters, neutral colors, and classic clean pieces.
Think of Diane Keaton’s wardrobe in “Something’s Gotta Give” or Grace Hanson’s outfits in “Grace and Frankie.”
Do you want to try this trend? You don’t need to be an actual grandmother or have a house in the Hamptons to rock this aesthetic.
I chose to recreate a Grace Hanson outfit because I am a huge fan of “Grace and Frankie” and I love her style!
This look was fairly easy to recreate. A striped button-down is topped with an oversized cashmere wrap.
You might remember the wrap from this post.
Plus Size Stripe Shirts
I’m not sure what she was wearing on the bottom, but Grace Hanson often wears dark bootcut jeans with a heel.
I opted for some heeled loafers for the ultimate preppy but chic look.

I love the coastal grandmother look. I’ve worn it for 40 years. Keep up your great looks, it is truly appreciated.
Absolutely! It is such a great look. Thank you!
I love this look and reference to the shows!!
Thank you!
I’m not a grandmother, but I would definitely wear this outfit! I love the Pashmina one on Amazon and it’s a great price! Super cute outfit
Awesome! I’m glad you like it!
I was just reading about the “Grandmother coastal look”, It’s a great casual look. Stripes are always my favorite.
I totally agree. Grandmas know their stuff.
Hi Alexa! Thanks for switching up the jewelry, I use accessories to change my look and your classic style is so versatile. I also like the perfumes and lipsticks, sunless tanners (thanks to you l know about tanning mitts!), and other cosmetics you highlight along with the great clothes! Would love to see nail polish too! Love 💞 Valene
