First it was the boyfriend shirts, then came dad’s Barbour jacket, quickly followed by granddad’s cardigan, it now seems Grandma’s wardrobe is on the cards!

Top designers such as Marc Jacobs, Marni, Prada, Daks and Louis Vuitton have this season all taken a little inspiration from Granny’s Wardrobe.  The prestigious designers have showcased a series mid-calf skirts, bobbled jumpers, matchy matchy accessories and heaven forbid, sensible shoes!

Granny Chic is officially in for Autumn and Winter 2010, whether you are a kooky and retro granny like the super-stylish New Yorker and octogenarian Iris Apfel or alternatively an uber chic and sophisticated grandma, such as Coco Chanel.

The modern take on grandma attire is certainly hitting the running hard for both this and next season; just make sure you steer well clear from the purple rinses however!

The catwalk was awash with four predominant styles, these included the Glam Granny look, the Posh Granny, the Mad Granny and then of course the Super Granny.

The Glam Granny works full skirts and nipped in waists, these were teamed with uber sleek gloves, petite stilettos and feminine handbags.  The look was finished with a stylish diamond embellished broach and was seen on the catwalks of Louis Vuitton.

Posh Granny takes inspiration from riding, walks in the countryside and sports cable knits, tweed like pieces and a pair of brogues.  Look to Daks for ideas on how to wear this trend.

Mad Granny can also be described as the most outrageous of all the Granny-esque looks.  Think Lady Gaga mixed with Iris Apfel and don’t forget the kooky glasses.

Super Granny is the ultimate in grannyness and works an almost Miss Marple like style, with mid-calf length swinging skirts, buttoned up cardies and knee high knitted socks.
