Guys guys guys. I am back. I MEAN IT. Finals kicked my butt so bad that I needed 3-4 business days to be nonverbal in my room :) I saw this new trend popping up on my page and I thought lets have a little chat about her. So apparently, an up and coming trend for 2024 is the eclectic grandpa. Which I can totally get after. As you can see in the picture provided, think of sneakers, loafers, vintage hats, vintage sweaters, boxers. The boxer trend this past summer was a huge hit amongst the fashion community, so I find it as no surprise that it has found its way integrated into this aesthetic. I mean think of it too. Skinny jeans have been so out for so long, thank god, and the baggy fit style fades perfectly into this trend. I think some brands to look out for with this trend would be, have you guessed duh duh duhhhhhhh, adidas, as in the Sambas. I think we are going to see the Samba hanging around a little while longer as it has become so commoditized and commercialized and sooooo many variations are emerging kinda like the Jordan or Dunk. As I have so ever stated before, it is becoming the new it shoe like the air force. Another brand to keep an eye on is Oddli. Oddli is famous for their boxers that went viral last summer, but also for their hand embroidered shirts. I think this brand will fit effortlessly into the eclectic grandpa style and see more success in the future. I mean I don't know if the shirts will but definitely the boxer.
Again, I would be on the lookout for a penny loafer from luxury brands to your best thrift store find paired with an ankle or scrunch sock. These socks may even be of vibrant color like red or blue. COS has a ton of knitwear and sweaters I think that will be found on many women as well. Asics will, upon no surprise, be keeping headway in this trend as the sporty sneaker will be going no where. The grandpa shoe is running in FULL FORCE. Now, when I say asics, PLEASE KNOW I mean a shoe like the Kayano 14 for example or even a shoe from their aquired brand Onitsuka. Besides basic chunky knitwear, expect old Grandpa looking sweaters and RAID YOUR THRIFT STORES FOR THEM LADIES. Don't search "grandpa sweaters" on the internet. Be sustainable for a sec and just dilly dally to your local thrift. Lastly, smaller sunglasses with wire frames will be staying. One pair i have been loving is a pair in the Emma Chamberlain x Warby Parker Collab.
The green accent around the rim in combination with the tortoise frames makes me lose my marbles. In summary, the elclectic trends are back thanks to people like Victoria Paris. Expect comfy clothes and jewelry galore and you're probably picturing the right thing. If you are still confused on what I am getting at, babe just look up eclectic grandpa :)
