Remember when the term "dressing like a grandma" was an insult? If only we could all look so chic. Because fashion is one giant cycle, the trends of yesteryear are currently making a comeback—a big one at that. Namely, the trends making a splash are the pieces you'd likely find buried in your grandma's closet right now. Think thick-rimmed, oversize sunglasses and cozy knits with a side of colorful crochet.
Since we already brought you the ones that were blowing up for summer, today, I'm delving into the retro trends the fashion set will be clamoring for come September. Each brings a particular flair that really sets an outfit apart from the cookie-cutter norm. And while they take inspiration from the past, how people are styling them in the present feels right on the mark for today. Keep scrolling to see all six grandma trends I expect to see a lot more of and to add them to your own closet ASAP.
The handicraft aesthetic has been slowly gaining momentum since earlier this spring and shows no signs of stopping ahead of fall. Crochet, in particular, has been a major part of the trend, with the core pieces being cardigans and vests that look as if your grandma knitted them by hand. Of course, in reality, crochet jeans from Free People are a world away from the homemade creations from your grandma, but they still offer a personal touch. From hats to scarves and pants, the name of the game is all things crochet.Still in love with your sweater-vest from last season? Good—the preppy-meets-grandma trend is here for another round, courtesy of the fashion set. Whether cable-knit, printed, cropped, or oversize, sweater-vests are a fun piece to add if you're in need of a light layer to effortlessly transition into colder temperatures. To keep it from looking too on the nose, pair it with jeans and heeled booties.Looking back at childhood pictures, I could swear my grandma owned a pair of sunglasses just like this. Dark, thick-rimmed glasses have reemerged as a bona fide trend thanks to brands like Lexxola, Gucci, and Loewe. It's a cool nod to the past but also a strong accessory to jazz up a basic blazer or button-down.Big collars are usually associated with tights, oversize glasses, and grandmas who have an affinity for knitting (just me?), but as of late, fashion people are itching to add this dramatic detail to the top of every fall outfit. It adds visual interest to your look, and you can typically find pretty versions at every price point. For those looking to give this trend a test-drive, try a detachable collar that can be worn along with any sweater or top.Now, you and your grandma have one more thing in common: knitted cardigans. Once a staple for grandparents who like to grab the early bird special, cardigans now feel just as stylish and fresh as they did decades ago. The key is to style them with cropped tops or bralettes—an interesting, kitschy pattern also helps. Somewhere out there, someone's grandma has a house full of wallpaper just like this. Ditsy prints meet at the intersection of sweet and old-timey, but the floral pattern has recently become a cool style statement beyond its connections to grandmas around the globe. ACNE Studios featured the print within its fall collection, and similarly, other brands have adopted ditsy prints in pieces like midi skirts and prairie dresses. Consider it a more fall-appropriate way to wear florals.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
