HOW TO DO: ECLECTIC GRANDPA

Fred Perry knitted check vest, £120.00

A must-have knit if you wanna stitch your ‘fit together 🧶 Jumper's will suffice, but real ones know it's all about the knitted tank. Think post-Igor era Tyler, The Creator – after all, he's a veteran knit-head and in our eyes, the unofficial poster-boy for the trend. 

ASOS DESIGN relaxed revere shirt in motocross print, £32

Layering is important because we don't want you catching a chill, do we? Bag a friend for your cosy knit like this revere shirt. The formal silhouette says 'oh-so sensible G-Pa', but the print says 'TikTok FYP' and that, our friends, is what it's all about – balance ⚖️

Topman loose trousers in stone with tint, £46

Smart-casual pieces are a huge part of this look, so give your denim the day off and opt for some smart trousers instead – the looser, the better. A roomier cut gives your look that 'half-pipe hero' edge 🛹 Top Tip 🗣️: Get them tailored or fold the hems up (especially if you get the next step right!).

Paul Smith stripey sock in blue and black stripe, £22

Elaborate pattern? Dope logo? Bold AF colours? All the hallmarks of sock design that grandpas the world over are into 🤩 Also, you won’t find many other trends where having a strong sock game is as important as it is here, so go in hard for max impact 🧦

Dr Martens 1461 Bex 3 eye shoes in dark brown leather, £160

The footwear choice might be the best and most experimental part of this look. Sensible sneaks are a vibe, as are loafers and chunky shoes like the ones from British faves Dr Martens above. Basically, if your shoes get comments like "They look nice and sturdy", from someone 30 years older than you, you're on to a winner 🥇
