When it comes to things like spending time at home, leisurely sipping coffee, and enjoying a good crossword puzzle by a roaring fire, nobody knows how to find joy in life's simplest moments more than Grandpa. And he’s inspiring a new trend towards comfortable, lived-in clothes and home decor that look and feel truly classic—just like him.

You can incorporate aspects of his signature style by snagging staples like a cozy cardigan or sturdy duffle bag that feature materials like corduroy, leather, and tweed. And to give your home that "Come on in and stay a while" feeling, opt for warm wooden furniture and vintage paintings. So layer up, sit back, and bask in the glow of retirement fantasies with these grandpa-inspired style ideas below.
