If in any other month or year we read the headline “Pete Davidson dresses like a pensioner and it’s cool” and thought that someone woke up today and decided to prank the entire internet. But no, the Highsnobiety – and they got Pete’s photo – are totally serious. And rightly so.
Because Davidson is not the first fan of the “grandfather” style. And there is absolutely no irony in this, because fashion experts are really crazy about the wardrobe of modern retirees. “They really know how to dress,” says the fashionista. And therein lies the logic: the strongest trends of recent seasons are gathered in these simple outfits, which showcase old fashions (and which, by the way, are increasingly appearing on the street styles of fashion wikis).

First, there’s the normcore that we just talked about a while ago, which is a super comfortable fit, loose pants without darts, sneakers called dad sneakers, trench coats in neutral shades. no decor, chelsea and ankle boots in a simple basic solid color.
Secondly, it is a total oversize, which has been holding the entire fashion industry in its hands for a few years. Thirdly, this is the so-called quiet luxury, that is, expensive textures – fur, velvet, genuine leather – deliberately easily mixed with ordinary clothes.
The whole point of this aesthetic is that the older fashionista isn’t trying to impress. They don’t need sequined pants or massive bow scarves covering their faces to somehow declare their identity and taste. No, it’s important that they feel comfortable in their clothes.
And the icing on the cake is the love for retro models – the clothes of their youth. Minimalism, vintage, comfort – voila, a stylish look is ready. Even if he didn’t even think of being stylish.
Incidentally, the fashion for knitted hats, voluminous leather waistcoats with a straight cut, suit trousers without darts and trench coats in the style of Elizabeth II went from there. Haven’t you noticed how fashion bloggers are increasingly combining shirts with knitted vests and also wearing any shoes with socks at all? All these are fragments of the “grandmother’s” wardrobe trend.
So we can officially admit that the older generation is a huge source of inspiration. If you haven’t seen it yet, there are entire social media accounts dedicated to the style of modern retirees. And there is something to look at!
