Eclectic Grandpa Core is the new coastal grandmother.

If 2023 was all about the coastal grandmother aesthetic, 2024 would be surrounded by the Eclectic Grandpa aesthetic. Think about vintage streetwear, cardigans, and a chic layering game from your grandpa's closet.

So, today, we will see what this new core is and some outfit ideas.

Let me tell you that I'm intrigued. This aesthetic can be a little costumey but also chic, depending on how you style the clothes. I recommend going to your grandpa's closet or asking for some vintage clothing for your grandmother because the authentic vintage is incomparable.

Looking at the inspo on Pinterest, I saw that you can mix the eclectic grandpa core with your feminine clothes to create a beautiful contrast or go all in and embrace that vintage androgynous look.

What I love the most about this trend is that it inspires you to reinvent vintage pieces and play around with your creativity. I haven't my grandfathers with me anymore, I haven't met them either. So, I can't shop from their closet, but I'm the person who loves to shop from her parents' closet. That's my favorite place in the world. And reinventing something that was loved by someone you love is so fascinating. You give a new life to a vintage piece and make new memories. I always feel like creating a unique bond with my parents when I go around the world with their clothes.

For example, I have the shirt my dad wore on his wedding day. It's a stunning white shirt, super elegant, and every time I wear it is like a dream. I feel him next to me.

So, the eclectic grandpa core is the perfect opportunity to give those vintage cardigans or vests a new life. But also flannel shirts, corduroy trousers, and so much more.

And if I still need to convince you, here are 10 outfit ideas to inspire you on this trend.
