How To Nail The Coastal Granddaughter Aesthetic
With so many aesthetics to choose from this summer, it seems that the coastal granddaughter reigns supreme. TikTok creators can't get enough of this effortless, shore-side style, and we don't blame them – airy linens, matching sets, espadrille sandals, and sunkissed skin makes for not only a cute look but a comfy one for those hot summer days.
Unlike the coastal grandmother, which is where this aesthetic was inherited from (no pun intended), Bustle explains the coastal granddaughter "is essentially the more “untucked” version of [the] coastal grandmother...wearing an oversized button-down shirt for a relaxed, laidback look as opposed to a perfectly crisp and put-together ensemble... [keeping] buttons to a minimum with a bralette peeking through and some breathable shorts to match."
If you're still not quite sure what this aesthetic is all about, make sure to watch The Summer I Turned Pretty, or better yet, just take a look at these Motom creator posts for inspiration.
