Think Ren&eacute;e Zellweger as Bridget Jones, and you already get the gist.

It's like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/skirts-over-pants-dresses-trend-2000s-90s-y2k-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K</a>, but make it <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/a-very-british-scandal-history-timeline-margaret-campbell-duchess-of-argyll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British</a>. The Frazzled English Woman aesthetic is the internet's latest fashion obsession, though we should have all seen this coming. We've all seen this girl before, and if you don't know her then you probably are her. With her flushed face, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/updo-hair-trend-y2k-claw-clip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claw-clipped</a> hair, haphazardly thrown on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-layer-clothes-fall-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">layers</a> of clothing, and mismatched <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-2022-accessories-bags-jewelry-shoes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accessories</a>, at first glance she seems like a hot mess. But there is a charm to the frenzied nature of her persona&mdash;how else does she end up with men like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/hugh-grant-young-photos-movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hugh Grant</a> as her love interest?
Think of the fashion from pretty much any early 2000s British <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/every-julia-roberts-rom-com-pretty-woman-notting-hill-ticket-to-paradise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rom-com</a> such as Bridget Jones's Diary or The Holiday,&nbsp;and you have a perfect idea of what the Frazzled English Woman aesthetic entails. More put together than the Weird Girl aesthetic, but a direct opposite to the Clean Girl aesthetic, the Frazzled English Woman is a continuation of trying to look like you're not trying.
The emergence of this aesthetic has brought up a unique opportunity for this time around to be more <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/gender-inclusive-beauty-brands-skincare-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inclusive</a> than it was in the past. As seen from the many actors and films that fit the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/academia-aesthetic-back-to-school-fall-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aesthetic</a>, the idea of the Frazzled English Woman has only, so far, been encapsulated by thin white women. For plus-size people or people of color, to look so unput-together is something these marginalized communities simply didn't have the privilege of being able to do. Now that the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-style-coquette-aesthetic-tiktok-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aesthetic</a> has come back in fashion, this new wave opens a door for those who were originally excluded to hop on the trend for themselves.
With the never-ending list of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-wear-black-lip-gloss-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trends</a> that the internet keeps adding to, only time will tell how long this <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-shop-craftcore-aesthetic-crochet-patchwork" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aesthetic</a> will be at the forefront until something new comes along. However, a benefit to the Frazzled English Woman aesthetic is that you can likely pull from the clothes you already have in your wardrobe. As you begin to channel your inner <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kate-winslet-talks-leonardo-dicaprio-life-long-friendship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Winslet</a> and try to find that useless scarf you hadn't worn for years, L'OFFICIEL has come up with a complete style guide on how to dress for the Frazzled English Woman aesthetic.
