Have you heard of the coastal grandmother aesthetic? Its a trend taking hold this summer and honestly its fabulous. Instead of the idea of a hot girl summer, the idea of dressing in lightweight layers, comfortable fabrics and chic accessories sounds so so good. Learn more about this outfit trend HERE. The coastal grandmother aesthetic is one that effortlessly classy, earthy and real. Vegetables from the garden, a vintage rattan handbag, cold pasta salad served in an ivory ceramic dish all of these add to the aesthetic that I cant stop thinking about! Theres no reason us plus size babes cant take part, so I styled a look with pieces in my closet and had the best day as a result :).
For the record, I drank sangria, had beet salad and thin crust pizza at our favorite little eatery in town. It was fabulous.
The Outfit
I knew I wanted to layer up this look but I wanted to only dress in a few pieces, so naturally I reached for a jumpsuit. The one I styled with this look is from Lane Bryant and its a wide leg chambray style with an elastic waist and a cap sleeve. I love the fit of this jumpsuit through the hips, and the length suits my 5’6″ frame well its cropped and hits above the ankle but below mid calf. I knew I wanted to add another layer, but instead of reaching for a jacket I grabbed a linen button down. It adds a light layer, another neutral color and sets the stage for whatever accessories I wanted to wear with it. In this case it was brown slides and a brown bucket bag.
The white linen button down combined with the brown leather accessories and light weight jumpsuit create a plus size coastal grandmother outfit thats comfortable and chic for summer.
Now, I know this outfit is a loose on loose silhouette, but for me thats part of the charm. Its two beautiful versatile pieces in my closet that I wear often together to create a decidedly neutral but comfortable outfit. To me this is a cornerstone of the coastal grandmother trend, that I am so excited to continue to explore!
