What We Like: Grandpa Sweaters.

Ya know something? Grandpas are having a fashion moment. Gone are the days of these men being thought of as curmudgeonly fellows, fond of ill-timed jokes and always smelling like a unique blend of stale coffee and mothballs. It's time to appreciate G'pas for something they rarely get props for: their style. Specifically, I'm talking about the cozy knits that Grandpas are often spotted wearing in the cooler months (or, always). Kinda perfect, right? Often colorful and equipped with functional features such as buttons and pockets, Grandpa Sweaters have quickly risen to my most loved item for everyday wear this fall. They're warm, provide easy access to phones/chap sticks/other pocket-sized items, and when thrown over a dress or button up, are totally work appropriate (especially for those freezing cubicle climates). Sorry Macklemore, this trend has been around way before you decided to hit the thrift shop. If you look in your closet and find an absence of these cozy cardigans & chunky sweaters than look no further, we've done the work for you: betsy and iya_grandpa sweaters
