Bless you TikTok for delivering this trend.
It ’s time to break out the skinny scarf joint , fingerless mitt , and baker son hats . This fall , we ’re embracing TikTok ’s previous aesthetic : the “ frazzle Englishwoman . ” Who is this mythic character , you may require ? She looks as though she ’s been jar out of a 2000 ’s Britishrom - com . She get into layers of autumnal - chant patchwork and snug knitwear , her hair is broadly kept in a nipper cartridge holder , and she ’s belike smoke a cigarette or getting tangled up in a phone wire somewhere . She ’s mussy , yes , but only because she got catch in the twist . Think of her as the charming antithesis tothe “ clean miss . ”
The movement wasoriginally coined by Australian way magazineRusshin 2022 , but with the inclement parky weather condition — and a ratherchaotic election time of year — the desire to incarnate the frazzled Englishwoman , in all her tousled resplendence , is strong than ever . While thechic desert aunty of the summerhad us yen for New Mexico , it ’s only a matter of time before the magical Brit inspires trip to country cottage across the UK .
To stoke your vision , call up about the multitudinous women in film who exude this elegantly slapdash halo . The frazzle Englishwoman is Bridget Jones , shlep around her apartment in a chunky cardigan . It ’s Keira Knightly inLove Actually , rolling up to her secret protagonist ’s doorsill with banoffee Proto-Indo European . It ’s Kate Winslet inThe Holiday , jumping for pleasure in front of her LA mansion , sport a atmospheric condition - out or keeping coat . It ’s Elizabeth inThe Parent Trap , not when she ’s make for fashion intriguer , but rather , when she ’s smoke a cigarette , tumbler pigeon in tomentum . It ’s Helena Bonham Carter as herself . have ’s be actual : She ’s always been that little girl .
