I really like this style but I don’t know what you’d call it or what shops you’d get it from!

I’m in my late 40’s and I’m really ready to change my style. I’ve been people watching a lot this summer and the style I really want to copy is-

-casual but classic
-loose linen trousers
-loose tucked in tops often layered
-stylish trainers
-layered jewellery
-undone hair, bit messy, thrown up in a clip
-natural cotton
-neutral colours
-slouchy handbag
-long boho type dresses

Does anyone know of any particular shops that do this type of style?

Are you talking about Lagen look?

minipie · 12/08/2026 21:50

Sounds like Poetry or Wrap or maybe White Company

I think you need to be tall with broad shoulders and Good Hair for this look

Lagenlook? Although that might be more oversized than what you're describing.

You might like Free People?

I'd start with Free People and Hush

You need to find and follow some style people on Instagram and also LTK. They link all their items and the shops to buy them from.

Just realised this is pretty much me in my 40’s!

Poem
hush
kith (John Lewis)
anthropology
mint velvet maybe

coastal grandma chic for sure. Limited colour pallet. Very clean and minimalist. But layered and unstructured. But clean lines

Ketley67 · 12/08/2026 22:10

Coastal Grandma!! I love it!

Thanks everyone, off to do some googling!

I love me some coastal grandma. This is how I aspire to dress! Like a posh lady who lives on Martha’s Vineyard in the summer and my husband is a banker in the city and earns mega bucks while I swan around my beautiful house looking polished and chic. It’s a far cry from my reality but I live in hope!

SereneGoose · 12/08/2026 22:25

Ooohhhh! This is me. Not a grandmother or coastal but still..me. I had no idea.

Diane Keaton?

Me + Em, M&S, white co

Tootingbec · 12/08/2026 22:50

For the look you are going for I suggest Muji - does great linen trousers and tops in muted colours. Also Uniqlo for lots of linen layering separates.

I too aspire for that look - not sure I pull it off!

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 13/08/2026 07:43

M & S/Tu do cheaper versions of this look.

StepawayfromtheLindors · 13/08/2026 07:48

I’m a bit confused - why do you need to give a label to a way of dressing when you can just buy the items you’ve mentioned?

user1486915549 · 13/08/2026 13:23

You need www.laundryb.com
slightly quirky , colourful and comfortable.
Inexpensive , and some great things in their sale right now.
Also take a look at Muji. Muted colours , natural fabrics.

Ketley67 · 13/08/2026 14:01

Certain ways of dressing are often given a name eg.rocker, preppy, hippie, classic etc.

If you know the name of a particular style you like you can then search the name on google and find inspiration in the form of outfit ideas or certain brands which sell the type of clothing your style relates to. Just makes life easier especially if you’re stuck in a bit of a rut.

Hope that helps.

Made in Italy.. loads on vinted. Get following some people on insta with this look. I'm occasionally trying this look, I don't have enough to every day but I know the style you mean.

coolcahuna · 13/08/2026 14:10

Stylewithlisah is one instagrammer I follow who does this look. Quite alot of her links are Asos. I've also just bought some trousers on amazon that fit this vibe and they are great but probably only if you are on the short size. I'm 5'4

friedaklein · 13/08/2026 14:11

Uniqlo and Muji.
