Every fashion trend has its own aesthetic, and it's especially delightful to indulge in it depending on the season. In the summer, it was all about mermaids and sea nymphs, while last autumn, the spotlight was on office core - women happily embracing the image of corporate predators. But after a year, office sirens have grown tired, making way for the new trend: the tired English woman. Let's explore what this trend is all about and immerse ourselves in the most fashionable and cozy aesthetics of this season.
It's time to say goodbye to perfectly sleek buns, high ponytails, and polished hairstyles. Strict suits, trousers with creases, and pencil skirts are to be forgotten. If you constantly portray yourself as an iron lady and a business shark, you're bound to have a nervous breakdown. Let Bridget Jones, played by Renée Zellweger, teach you how to embrace this popular trend. Your soul and body crave rest, comfort, and coziness - indulge yourself and follow the popular autumn trend. And if someone dares to question your choice, respond with: "Learn about trends before judging and asking inappropriate questions."
The tired English woman, known as the Frazzled Woman in English, refers to the rom-com heroines of the 2000s. Kira Knightley's relaxed characters in "Love Actually" or "Last Night in SoHo" served as inspiration. Remember Iris? And the ultimate icon of the tired English woman is the legendary Bridget Jones.
A bouclé coat or a straight maxi coat will come in handy. Oversized knitted sweaters and cardigans that you can wrap yourself in from head to toe are perfect for hibernating on those autumn evenings. Turtlenecks in natural shades such as green, brown, terracotta, or burgundy will also be in style.
Straight wool pants, plaid patterns, boyfriend jeans, midi and maxi skirts paired with thick tights, even in colorful options, knee-high boots with wide shafts, asymmetric ankle boots, or soft fur-trimmed sneakers complete the look.
Sandra Bullock's and Emma Thompson's characters are excellent examples of the tired English woman. When you step outside, wrap a scarf in several layers and opt for a simple beanie without any decorations. An oversized maxi coat will also be a great choice. Finish off your look with a shopper, tote, or hobo bag, perhaps in suede material. Make sure the bag is spacious enough to accommodate a book, a thermos with tea or coffee, some snacks, and other items you like to carry with you.
The essence of the tired English woman trend is warmth. Your outfit may appear slightly quirky, but that's what makes it unique. Wear the softest and most comfortable clothes, making you feel like you're in your own little cocoon.
The tired English woman is the most relatable trend this autumn. While it may be all of us on any given day, it's important to remember that there are many women who don't even know about this trend. So let's bid farewell to the era of sleek buns, tight hairstyles, strict suits, and embrace the cozy and stylish aesthetics of the tired English woman.
