2024 Trend Predictions: Eclectic Grandpa
Mom’s jeans are taking a well deserved break and grandpa’s go-to is rising in popularity.
With a new year beginning soon, it’s time to address the fashion trends that will be heading into 2024 with us. We saw the girls make more than a little commotion for quiet luxury. We got tied up into being bow-obsessed and the color red was worn more than ever. Next year’s Eclectic Grandpa style trend prediction is more casual, and timelessly cool.
This just in. Mom’s jeans are taking a well deserved break and grandpa’s go-to OOTD is now rising in popularity. Pinterest Predicts believes the Eclectic Grandpa style aesthetic will have a proper moment in 2024. Fragments of this style like loafers and socks, paneled hats, cropped pants, classic trainers, clogs, and vintage sweaters have been showing up everywhere this fall and winter. Simple silhouettes, practical layering and accessories that someone maybe three times your age would reach for, are the way to win with grandpa core.
Think sweater vests paired with a crisp white tee, cropped pants paired with fun socks and a minimal pair of loafers or a vintage patterned sweater with loose fitting denim and a 5 panel hat. This style that uses the average well dressed grandpa as it’s muse, is widely known by thrifters and vintage clothing hunters alike. The best thing about dressing like someone’s grandpa is that you can find all of the staple pieces at your local thrift store. Mix in anything new and quirky for the perfect composition.
Not sure if you’re sold on grandpa’s signature look? We got you. Let’s walk through some examples and what makes each look really work.
The easiest way to make an outfit feel more casual is to add a hat. Bonus points if it’s vintage. Loafers and socks have never looked cooler.
Don’t underestimate the power of a plain white tee when it comes to the Eclectic Grandpa fashion trend. It serves as the perfect base layer for vests that add pattern and texture.
Socks can make a serious statement. Grab your favorite pair of cropped denim and a pair of fun socks to elevate your look.
