I’m the In-House Coastal Grandma of Our Team—Here’s My Go-To Shopping Places
Whether referred to as Coastal Grandma, New England classic, or the latest microtrend—the Fisherman aesthetic—crisp button-downs, flowing linens, blue-and-white motifs, and rich leather essentials are simply effective. Like many on the East Coast, I’ve painstakingly curated my wardrobe to be timeless, effortless, and rooted in quality—never trendy, never out of style. However, discovering brands that genuinely grasp my blend of classic and functional style has required some trial and error.
A few years ago, while exploring Boston’s Back Bay, I came across Dudley Stephens. While enjoying a triple flat white and observing the scene, I noticed a chic woman emerging from a workout studio in an outfit I desperately wanted to emulate. She appeared polished yet relaxed, approachable yet well-put-together, and I was eager to know where her outfit was from. She wore the classic Park Slope Turtleneck from Dudley Stephens, and at that moment, I recognized it as a must-have piece for my wardrobe. That night, I placed my first of many orders.
What sets Dudley Stephens apart:
Established by a family of women (two sisters and their mother) who excel in classic, functional fashion, Dudley Stephens offers sustainable, versatile pieces designed to endure. Their items are washable, stain-resistant, and remarkably durable, making them some of the wisest wardrobe investments I have ever made. Unlike conventional fleece and terry materials that can feel bulky or too casual, Dudley Stephens provides polished, structured silhouettes that facilitate the shift from relaxed weekends to more refined looks.
