Perhaps you’ve heard of the coastal grandma trend recently. It’s been all over TikTok and more and more people are ready to submit to the coastal grandma lifestyle. So, what is coastal grandma all about? Read on to learn more.
Nancy Meyers
If you want to picture the perfect coastal grandma, think of Diane Keaton in ‘Something’s Gotta Give’ or Meryl Streep in ‘It’s Complicated’. Both are beautiful, intelligent women, living a certain type of lifestyle. They obviously have money, they live near the coast, and they’ve always got a glass of wine in their hands by 6 pm. These Nancy Meyer classics give a perfect glance at what it is to be a coastal grandma.
What you need to become a coastal grandma
Fortunately, anyone can become a coastal grandma if they want to. You don’t have to be a particular age or live near the seaside to live like a coastal grandma.
You’ll find many coastal grandmas wearing button-down shirts and straight white jeans. They may sport a straw hat on hot days. They’ll be plucking at their vegetable patch during the day and indulging in the chosen book from their book club in the evening.
You may even find them attempting some crochet kits for a change. You can find a range of these at specialist sites such as woolcouturecompany.com/collections/crochet-kits.
The attitude
A coastal grandma has a confident yet vulnerable attitude. She knows who she is but she’s willing to admit her faults. She’s come to a place in life where she wants to make the most of her days and live a healthy and fulfilling life.
If you want to learn more about being a coastal grandma, following the trend on TikTok is a great place to start. If TikTok isn’t your thing, check out the Nancy Meyers movies mentioned above and try not to fall in love with those characters. If you’re not a coastal grandma yet, you soon will be!
