Grannycore: How to wear the new season's twee threads

Whereas TikTok’s ‘Eclectic Grandpa’ is a bit kitschy and wears what he likes; grandma is intentional in her eccentricity, marrying nostalgia with a knowing wink.

As someone with a keen interest in vintage clothing, my styling advice comes from the trenches. Think of your look as scalable: start small before you incorporate any big-ticket items.

Twee is trending. I blame Miuccia Prada. Two years ago, she wooed me with her librarian cardigans. 

Now she’s done it again, playfully subverting style norms and disrupting gender assumptions with autumn/winter’s ‘grandmacore’ aesthetic.
