More than two years have passed since the rise of TikTok’s coastal grandmother trend. The viral term, coined by TikToker Lex Nicoleta, describes the coastal grandmother aesthetic as, “If you love Nancy Meyers movies, coastal vibes, recipes and cooking, Ina Garten, cozy interiors, and more, there’s a good chance you might be a coastal grandmother.” The movement might escape the cruxes of trends, thanks to the timeless wardrobe essentials that are core to its DNA.

From classic staples like cashmere turtlenecks Erica Barry (Diane Keaton) would’ve sported in Something’s Gotta Give to the breezy linen numbers Jane Adler (Meryl Streep) paraded around in It’s Complicated, the coastal grandmother aesthetic is simplicity at its best. But, of course, achieving such chic-yet-laidback style is no easy feat, so to help you embrace your inner coastal grandmother, we’ve scoured the depths of Amazon to bring you one step closer to mastering yet another viral TikTok trend—at a fraction of the price. Ahead, shop our 16 favorite coastal grandmother-inspired finds from Amazon.
