Description: Close your eyes and imagine for a moment that you're on the beach in an outfit that Diane Keaton would wear, looking through a book of Ina Garten recipes with a cashmere sweater tied across your shoulders.

It's a term coined by 26-year-old TikTok creator Lex Nicoleta to describe a beachy, romantic aesthetic.

We discuss the coastal grandmother vibe and what it can tell us about how trends circulate online. We also get into how trends like these encourage consumerism.
