There’s a new TikTok aesthetic taking on the social media app, and we could have Nancy Meyers to thank for it. Since March, “Coastal Grandmother” — a time period coined by creator Lex Nicoleta — has garnered over one billion views and displays all one of the best retirement fantasies we’ve ever had. Suppose: Jane Adler’s (Meryl Streep) laidback wardrobe of silk overshirts, delicate robes, gardening-ready solar hats in It’s Sophisticated or Erica Barry’s (Diane Keaton) beachside outfits that included white turtlenecks, cozy knits, and bucket hats in One thing’s Gotta Give. Think about “Coastal Grandmother” the last word aesthetic we have all dreamed of getting when these retirement financial savings accounts begin rolling in.
