Alright, so, I’ve been totally hooked on this show “Grace and Frankie.” It’s hilarious, it’s heartwarming, and the fashion? Don’t even get me started. But today, we’re diving deep into Frankie’s wardrobe. That woman’s style is just something else, you know? It’s like, if a rainbow and a vintage store had a baby.
First off, I started by just binge-watching the show again. I know, tough life. But I needed to really soak in those outfits. I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down every time an outfit of hers caught my eye. My notes were a mess, honestly. “Flowy orange thingy,” “necklace made of what looks like teeth,” and “did she raid a gypsy caravan?” were some of my more eloquent descriptions.
Then, I hit the internet. I typed in stuff like “Frankie’s clothes on Grace and Frankie” into the search bar. I found some cool interviews with the show’s costume designer, Allyson Fanger. Turns out, she’s a genius. She said she finds Frankie’s pieces in all sorts of “weird and strange” places. Vintage pop-ups, random little shops—it’s all fair game. My kind of lady!
- I discovered this one place, “Current Affair,” a vintage pop-up in Brooklyn. I marked it down. Definitely checking that out.
- Also, “Nomad” in Cambridge. Another one for the list.
It’s not just about where she gets the clothes, though. It’s how they’re put together. Frankie’s got this amazing way of layering things. She’ll throw a sheer top over a t-shirt, add like, five necklaces, and somehow, it all just works. I tried to copy that one time. Let’s just say I looked less “Bohemian chic” and more “I got dressed in the dark.”
I remembered seeing a comment somewhere online about someone loving Frankie’s see-through undershirts. So I paid extra attention to those. And yeah, they’re pretty cool. There’s this one scene where she pairs one with a Ramones shirt, and it’s just… chef’s kiss.
I spent a good few days just going down this rabbit hole. I looked up specific items, tried to find similar stuff online, and even attempted to recreate a couple of her outfits with things I already owned. It was a lot of fun, but also kind of humbling. Frankie’s style is so unique, it’s hard to replicate.
My conclusion
It is that Frankie’s style is a glorious, chaotic mess, and I love it. It’s a reminder that fashion should be fun, and that there are no rules. You do you, Frankie. You do you.
