Channeling grandpa’s style with a modern twist.

If you’re on a budget, pay attention. There’s a hot new trend straight from TikTok that encourages you to explore your closet and raid those of your family members. Pinterest’s trend forecasters are dubbing this style ‘eclectic grandpa’, and it’s ticking all the right boxes. Not only does it pay homage to the quirky elders, but it also saves you money, reduces the environmental impact of excessive Shein orders, and allows you to look drop-dead gorgeous while feeling incredibly comfortable.

Eclectic grandpacore embodies what your grandfather might wear on any given day: an ensemble that exudes laid-back vibes, cozy enough for a nap yet refined enough for a casual outing with friends. Think shirts with unconventional check patterns paired with well-fitted high-waisted trousers that aren’t overly snug. A slightly oversized cardigan, perhaps featuring argyle or subtle playful prints, is often part of the look. And when it comes to jackets, they always appear as if they were crafted in a different era, boasting lush, high-quality fabrics.
