Introduction
One of the hottest “new” trends in fashion is inspired by a look your grandmother wore to family get-togethers. It’s the prairie dress trend that Hollywood’s biggest supermodels from Kendall Jenner to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have made their own. The flowy, full-skirted dresses are perfect for wearing when you’re on vacation and at home. How did it become a trend? Well, we have to thank Rodarte for that one. In 2015, designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy opted for full skirts with dramatic ruffle details, but this time they were paired with cool leather bomber jackets or denim vests. Before long, celebrities and influencers alike started taking note of the bohemian dress style, and now they’ve become a wardrobe staple. For a date night version of the look (or just because), opt for a mini length and black lace. Or keep it casual by throwing on some sneakers or sandals depending on the occasion.

One of the Hottest “New” Trends
One of the hottest “new” trends in fashion is inspired by a look your grandmother wore to family get-togethers.
The latest look, dubbed coastal grandmother style, is making waves all over the world and it’s no wonder why: because this style originated from one of life’s most important women—your grandma! She may even be responsible for inspiring some of today’s hottest trends like Kendall and boho chic.
Grandmothers have always been ahead of the game when it comes to Kendall sense (and they’re still doing so today). They’ve been dressing nicely since before you were born which means that if you want to be known as someone who knows how to put together an outfit without breaking the bank or spending hours on end searching through racks at department stores looking for inspiration. you should just go find yourself an old lady whose wardrobe contains plenty more than just ruffles around her neckline! Although middle-aged women living a luxury lifestyle at their ocean phase are the inspiration for the coastal grandma feels, anyone of any age can adopt the look (and tax brackets). To simply pull off the look, choose straightforward, timeless pieces in neutral hues like Kendall.
Kendall Jenner to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
The prairie dress trend has been around for a while, but it’s not a new thing. The look was inspired by style, which you remember as the perfect way to wear a dress with jeans and boots.
Now you can add this classic look to your wardrobe by adding some sparkle!
The Flowy, Full-Skirted Dresses
These dresses are perfect for wearing when you’re on vacation and at home. They can be dressed up or down with a jacket, sweet sweater, or scarf, but they also look good with sandals or sneakers. If you want to add an extra touch of glamour, try pairing one of these dresses with some bright accessories like jewelry or a belt!
Kate and Laura Mulleavy
How did it become a trend? Well, we have to thank Rodarte for that one. In 2015, designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy opted for full skirts with dramatic ruffle details, but this time they were paired with cool leather bomber jackets or denim vests.
The look was so popular that Kendall took it up a notch by adding a supermodel twist. She wore an asymmetrical white top with gold detailing along the bottom hemline and paired it with black leggings and bold accessories such as bright red pumps or metallic stilettos both of which are hallmarks of hel style (she also loves platform heels).
The Bohemian Dress Style
Before long, celebrities and influencers alike started taking note of the bohemian dress style, and now they’ve become a wardrobe staple. The prairie-style dress is a throwback to the 1920s. It’s perfect for an easygoing look that can be dressed up or down depending on what you’re wearing underneath it.
The prairie-style dress is also great for date night because it’s casual enough to go from a coffee to dinner at your favorite restaurant without being too formal! If you want something more casual yet still fashionable for workday lunches and happy hour drinks with friends, try pairing this beauty with some booties or heels you’ll look fabulous no matter where your day takes you!
If you’re looking for a date night version of the look, opt for a mini length and black lace. Or keep it casual by throwing on some sneakers or sandals, depending on the occasion.
For this look:
- Pair your new Kendall bag with ankle boots for an edgy take on the classic grandmother style. You could also opt for sandals if you have more time than cash on hand or if it’s raining outside you know what they say about umbrellas being fun!
- Don’t forget to add some accessories like jewelry and sunglasses; these will help complete this outfit while still keeping it classy enough that no one will question whether or not you’re spending over $100 per ensemble at Nordstrom Rack (and most likely paying full retail).
