This summer there was a buzz about “Coastal Grandmothers.” The idea of living a more relaxed, simpler lifestyle was trending and kids aspiring to live life like they are in their 60’s and 70’s was trending with The new film Mack & Rita . “I am a 70 year old woman trapped in the body of a 30 year old woman…” was the theme and here’s the trailer..
So what’s the big deal about aging that looks so damn good to these kids? Clearly, it’s ease, comfort and acceptance in lifestyle, clothes and attitude. Keeping life a little simpler and dressing that way too is something they aspire toward. Diane Keaton is the go to girl for the look of the Coastal Grandma wearing her sandy hues and simple elegant flowy Eileen Fisher classics and with her unabashed acceptance of her age starting with Something’s Gotta Give. Just take a look at how great Diane looks in this pivotal scene.
According to Byrdie …”This laid-back look, most recently made popular by TikTokers like Lex Nicoleta and Clare McLaughlin Sullivan, has made waves.
The trend includes A-listers like Anne Hathaway, who wrote on Instagram, “I have been ready for #coastalgrandmother chic since before TikTok was born. May this moment never end.”Â
Here’s a few Coastal Grandma looks to update your closet this Fall:
Chinos and Drape Pants by Everlane
The Relaxed Chino
Our Relaxed Chino is a high-waisted pant crafted in a buttery soft, 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell fabric. It features a cool curved leg (similar to the Utility Barrel Pant) and asymmetrical back pockets: one with a button-back flap pocket and one with a welt pocket.
The Easy Pant
The Easy Pant is comfortable from hip to hem, thanks to its lightweight cotton twill fabric, breathable silhouette, and pull-on waistband. Because putting on pants shouldn’t be hard.
The Way-High Drape Pant
The Way-High Drape Pant features an extra-high rise, two handy side pockets, a flattering pleat design, and a wide-leg cut. Plus, it gets its drape from our breathable, lightweight fabric that’s soft to the touch.
White Blouses
The Linen Relaxed Shirt
The Relaxed Oxford Shirt
We took the same fabric we use for our men’s oxfords and made a modern, relaxed version just for you. Tucked in or out, unbuttoned or buttoned—it’s an everyday classic.

The Trench
The Gathered Drape Trench
It features storm flaps, gathered detail at the shoulders, and a high back slit. Wear it with a belt for a more fitted look or alone for a loose A-line silhouette.
The Long Mac Coat
The Long Mac Coat features a relaxed point collar, storm flaps, raglan sleeves with adjustable cuffs, a clean button front, and an oversized fit. The best part? It’s complete with functional updates like a water-resistant finish and lightweight lining, which makes it the perfect transitional layer.
The Fall Collar Sweater
The Felted Merino Shawl Collar Sweater
You love Felted Merino for its exceptional softness, warmth, and durability. So we made a shawl-collar option. A classic cozy layer for cold weather, this timeless silhouette features a slightly relaxed fit and ribbed detailing. Take a page from the Everlane Team’s style notes by pairing with crisp chinos and leather loafers.
The Felted Merino Half-Zip Sweater
Featuring an elevated zip neckline, a soft ribbed knit, and a relaxed fit, the Felted Merino Half-Zip Sweater has a luxe look and cozy feel. The best part? It’s made of extra-fine merino wool that’s been washed and boiled for a softer, warmer, and more durable feel.
The Oversized Stroopwafel Turtleneck in ReCashmere
Featuring an elongated neckline, drapey sleeves, and an easy, relaxed fit, the Oversized Stroopwafel Turtleneck has a luxe waffle-knit texture with a super cozy feel. Plus, it’s made of our exclusive, 100% recycled cashmere yarn. The result? Soft, premium cashmere—minus the waste.
