Back in our teens, being told we dressed like a pensioner would have induced an existential crisis. Now that accolade is all we can hope for, thanks to fashiondom’s most fearless devotees embracing granny dressing with open arms.
From could-be-curtains printed frocks to cat’s eye spectacles that’d make Dame Edna jealous, anyone who’s anyone has gone gaga over grandma staples. Make the high priestess of blogging Chiara Ferragni your muse and rock the lot at once or, for a subtle nod to the trend, invest in a matching heel and bag combo and pair with prim separates à la Miroslava Duma.
It’s hard to get this look wrong but should you find yourself in any doubt, just add a brooch – the bigger the better. Now that’s out of the way, how’s about a cuppa and some finger sandwiches?
