Picture Bridget Jones or, in fact, any woman who is a main character in an early 2000s English rom-com. She's almost always late, has spilt coffee down her blouse and a bag bursting with old receipts and one too many old lip balms. Yet somehow, she has the hottest guy ever (take Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones, for example) swooning over her.

The key to achieving this look is to grab the first item of clothing you see and put it on; bonus points if it's creased or crumpled from sitting on your bedroom floor for a week. There are a few staples in a 'Frazzled English Woman's' closet, such as the striped scarfs that clash with your knitted jumper. These are crucial to achieving the look and facing the cold English winter. Pair that with a midi skirt and mismatched socks (because who has time to pair up their socks?!) But don't worry, these will be covered up with a pair of knee-high boots. (Ps. If you really want to embody Bridget Jones, granny knickers are also essential for optimal comfort).

The 'Frazzled English Woman' is not put together; she's a hot mess, but that's what is so great about her. Although chaotic and mismatched, the 'frazzled English woman' has a certain charm, perhaps because it's so relatable. Many recent fashion trends, such as the beloved Y2K, although adored by many, seem unreachable and impracticable to the masses. It is not feasible for most to go into the office sporting low-rise jeans and bedazzled tees, whereas the 'Frazzled English Woman' is much more practical and natural. I think we all have a little bit of 'Frazzled English Woman' inside us. Although spring is fast approaching, the weather remains cold, and it is the perfect time to embrace your Frazzled English Woman.
