The coastal grandmother aesthetic is a beach friendly aesthetic that has taken over everyone’s TikTok feed just in time for summer.

The ‘coastal grandmother’ aesthetic is a timeless look that officially has a name, thanks to TikTok user Lex Nicoleta (@lexnicoleta) who is credited with coining the term. 

A coastal grandmother is one that is believed to live a good life of leisure and luxury near a body of water. The coastal grandmother aesthetic is an aesthetic that allows us to dress up as a wealthy person, who spends their summer relaxing at their beach house. A coastal grandmother would spend the day doing activities that she enjoys such as drinking white wine, cooking, and reading her favorite novel near the water. If you want to follow this trend, keep reading for our guide below.

A ‘coastal grandmother’ outfit looks light and airy. Commonly people dressing in this aesthetic wear  coastal grandmother outfit would be khaki pants, a white button down top, a wide brim sun hat, and large sunglasses.

Not only do you have to look the part, so does your house. A coastal grandmother’s home looks like a minimalist cottage with a beach theme. Home decor essentials would be seashell trinkets, a water pitcher, China glassware, a bouquet of flowers and a handmade knitted blanket for the couch.
