Chic, Classy Coastal Grandmother? Here’s how with Dani Slaugh

TikTok’s newest fashion trend is all the rage here at Good Things Utah! The “Coastal Grandma” Look is the hottest summer fashion craze. Fashion guru and frequent GTU guest Dani Slaugh of “Style by Dani ” came to show us how to achieve the look. Even without an official coast here in the Beehive State, this look is perfect for both Lake Powell or Bear Lake Utahan. If a body of water isn’t your speed, fret not as this look is great for any summer occasion. Don’t let the name deceive you, this isn’t just for the boomer babes. This look is very fashion forward with a classy yet sexy timeless look appropriate for gals of all ages, shapes and sizes.
This look has a retro and preppy East Coast vibe reminiscent of the 1980s-1990s women’s summer fashion and will make you feel like you’ve spent time at Martha’s Vineyard, The Hamptons or Cape Cod. If you’re more of a west coast type of girl, this would be perfect for any Pacific Northwest occasion in Bainbridge Island or even for a California Casual look at the Catalina Wine Mixer .”It’s comfy, it’s chic, it’s casual. It’s very coastal,” said Slaugh. “I would say it’s a little more relaxed preppy.” This sporty look will be something you, your mother and your grandmother will be swooning over. The aesthetic crosses generations and looks effortless yet elegant and has been a staple item for decades by beloved A-listers like Martha Stewart and Diane Keaton. The coastal grandma look also has a male counterpart, “The Coastal Grandpa” which will be the perfect look for your man. Slaugh advocates men wearing pinks to bring out their natural lip and blush color.
We start the outfit with a button up blouse which Slaugh says you can “feel free to pop the collar” like the times of yesteryear to help frame the face. “These are classics anyone can wear,” said Slaugh. Slaugh brought a gauzy white button up which has a wrinkle chic design that is perfect for travel and fits in your suitcase with ease. Crinkle cloth has been a favorite of hers. No ironing necessary! The shirt can be tucked in or half tucked and pairs well with straight legged khaki pants that you can roll up at the ankle for an effortless chic look.
