Grandmas have many positive assets: killer goulash, cash handouts, and a mean game of gin rummy. Housedress and orthopedic sandal chic notwithstanding, some even possess a remarkable sense of style.

Case in point: Dagmar, a lovely Swedish line designed by three sisters and named after their family fashion icon.

Long, gauzy skirts and dresses etched with woodland prints inspired by Josef Frank make you feel willowy and beautiful — even if you’re five-foot-two. Gran would have approved of delicate details like gold-stitched quilted obis on silk tunics. Chunky cotton knit cardigans in earth tones and linen safari coats evoke North Africa in the glamorous 1930s. Toss them over a cami and khaki shorts or wide-leg trousers. Very Lauren Bacall. Very timeless.

But you better snatch this stuff up quick.

Before everyone and their grandmother does.
