Time to raid grandma’s closet! All her clothes are back in style. This week we show you how to slay in the granny chic look.
Literally anything that someone’s grandma would wear is now in style!
The oversized knit, the tweed clothes, the super comfy shoes, who knew that grandma was a style icon? ‘Granny chic’ is a cute new trend that we are loving. Try this trend with these key pieces from MRP.
The new classics
A key element to granny chic are comfy heels paired with socks. This look has actually been around for years: all you need is a great dress or skirt to finish off your outfit.
Go for longer length, modest dresses in typical grandma florals. Clashing colours and prints are must for this trend to work.
Style icon Alexa Chung, model Suki Waterhouse and Florence and The Machine’s Florence Welsh love this look.

Winter wonderful
Your grandma would want you to keep warm, right? Again, a floral piece is a great base piece for this style. Throw a trench over your dress to keep warm and a cute granny-esque scarf to finish off the look. You can wear the scarf around your neck in a cute ascot knot or on your head.
Queen of tweed
Tweed is a huge part of the granny chic trend. Build a feminine and cute look with this tweed jacket. Don’t be afraid of bright colours and pile on modern, fun accessories to keep your look from feeling dated or matronly.
The classic cardi
Rock an oversized cardi with jeans, a skirt or even over a dress. This is one must-have piece for every fan of the granny chic trend.
