Your grandparent’s basic style is becoming a big trend in 2024. How to create such an image?

If microtrends seem to be born on the Internet almost every day, we hasten to confirm your predictions. This is true. On social networks, especially TikTok and Instagram*, bloggers and influencers are constantly informing us about new trends, complementing them with the core code word. Barbicore, coquetcore, mermadecore, gothcore – the list of them can be endless. In fact, absolutely everything can be explained this way, but nowadays it is becoming quite difficult to keep track of them.

And now a new “aesthetic” has appeared on the Internet again – grandpa core or eclectic grandpa. As its name suggests, it literally means grandfather style. According to statistics from Pinterest, where many people look for inspiration, the percentage of image requests in this style has increased significantly recently. And users consider rapper Tyler, The Creator to be the main icon of the grandfather’s basic fashion trend. Videos with this “bark” tag on TikTok have already exceeded 16.5 million views. In a word – trend.

What should you do to join this trend? Let’s remember how grandfathers dressed: old (read vintage) sweaters, knitted vests, cardigans, comfortable jeans and trousers. Grandfathers also love dark pastel shades, velvet and plaid, as well as duck hats. This style is universal: it can look organically in both women’s and men’s wardrobes.

By the way, we recently talked about the new Mob Wife trend. What is it and how to track it – read here.
