Your picturesque and Instagram-worthy summer can be tossed to the side. It’s time to embrace a “frazzled English woman” summer.
This new trend is probably one of the healthiest TikTok has seen in recent years.
The term was first coined on TikTok by Australian fashion magazine Russh in 2022, and it’s having a resurgence as people embrace a more relaxed and carefree lifestyle.
It’s all about loosening up and being unapologetically yourself. Messy hair? Stained t-shirt? Makeup a little smudged? Check, check and check.
The aesthetic draws from 2000s rom-coms — think Renée Zellweger’s Bridget Jones or Keira Knightley as Juliet in “Love Actually.”
The frazzled English woman isn’t going to take the time to perfect her hair in the morning when she’s running out the door. And she isn’t waking up extra early to pick out a matching set — she’s simply going to take clothes out of her closet and put them on, no time wasted.
“The frazzled English woman is of course not just an aesthetic, it’s a lifestyle,” content creator @caitlinann_ said on TikTok.
According to TikTok — to embrace your inner English woman, start off by wearing what’s already in your closet and stop focusing on social media trends.
If you put on your favorite shirt and realize you got makeup on it — instead of panicking, wear it anyway.
User @annacoletteuk also suggests keeping your hair natural and letting it get “crazy crazy windswept.”
“This is so Bridget jones,” one person commented on the video.
“keira knightley vibes,” another wrote
“I was expecting Helena bonham carter vibes,” someone else said.
If you’re looking for more inspo on this trend — do a quick search on TikTok and you’ll be met with countless videos showing different outfit ideas.
But ultimately, the fun part of being a little frazzled is embracing your individualism and creativity.
The ultimate goal is to be too busy to care or worry about keeping things in check — just go outside and see where the wind takes you.
