“The Undone But Chic” look: Everyone wants to look like Bridget Jones 2001

Perfectly styled yesterday. This autumn and winter it can look a little more “unfinished” again fashion, but wanted. Because the “Undone But Chic” look, also referred to as “High Fashion Frump” (in German: highly fashionable old-fashioned), deliberately brings old-fashioned vibes back to the autumn wardrobe and combines them with modern fashion-it-sit-plates. Sounds like Bridget Jones in the snow? That is exactly the point: This is how the FrazzLed English Woman Aesthetic succeeds!

The trend celebrates the imperfect: old -fashioned knitting pullunder, oversized blazer, checkered scarves and the good old onion principle. Combined with modern basics, a style is created that looks nostalgic and highly fashionable at the same time. Fashion insiders also call the “High Fashion Frump” aesthetics-a skillful homage to British awkwardness that is never really unsexy.

Kate Winslet in “Love does not need a vacation”, Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones – or Anne Hathaway in “The devil wears Prada” in front of her makeover, even though the film plays in the USA – they all be the godfather for this trend. The “FrazzLed English Woman Aesthetic”, as the trend is called in the net, describes the charming-chaotic English woman, who rushes through everyday life with a knotted scarf, fluttering skirt and a slightly overloaded layering look. At first glance, unstable, a refined style statement at second glance.

The most important styling elements for this look are easily explained. It is best to combine knitwear over blouses, rough scarves over jackets and cardigans over skirts. Of course, vintage popes such as a sweater that seems to come directly from Grandma’s closet should not be missing. In combination with a modern pencil skirt, the retro part becomes an eye-catcher. If you want to implement the trend perfectly, you can use the pattern mix, for example, on the base and stripes, tweed and denim.

Wide blazers and jackets such as a trench coat or tweed coat form contrasts to figure -hugging basics such as tight turtleneck sweaters or a simple briefdress. The old -fashioned color palette can be easily broken down by deliberately used splashes of color such as a bright red cardigan, a sweater in cobalt blue or a blouse in a hotted lime green. The motto is: the more contrasts, the more exciting the look.

The “Undone But Chic” look lives from the fact that it doesn’t look perfect – and that is exactly what makes it suitable for everyday use. If you are unsure, start with a single vintage part and combine it with modern classics. A checkered scarf with a simple coat or a sweater for the trend jeans are simple entrances.

The following applies to fashion-aggregates: layers, mix, try it out. Better combine too much than too little. This is exactly what the magic of the trend – a bit old -fashioned, a bit untidy, but in 2025 one thing above all: state -of -the -art.
