What is Jane Austen Fall?

Jane Austen Fall is a cozy fall trend inspired by the novelist’s world, with romantic outfits, Austen movies, and old-fashioned activities like writing love letters and going for muddy walks. It follows trends like Horse Girl Fall and Sardine Girl Summer, and it’s trending thanks to the latest adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.

Why is Jane Austen trending right now?

Jane Austen is having a moment because of the latest movie adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. Her work has also never gone out of style. Her razor-sharp social satire and understanding of women’s inner lives keep it timeless, and she’s one of very few women authors whose works have stayed in print since they were first published.

What should you wear for Jane Austen Fall?

Think lace slip dresses, flowy white blouses inspired by Mr. Darcy, long sweeping jackets like a plaid trench coat, leather riding boots, and an eclectic brooch. The look is romantic and a little rustic, ideal for misty countryside walks.

What movies should you watch for Jane Austen Fall?

Try Pride and Prejudice (2006), Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), Becoming Jane (2007), Clueless (1995), and Mansfield Park (1999). They also work as supplementary viewing for the new Sense and Sensibility.

What can you do to celebrate Jane Austen Fall?

Write a love letter (to yourself, a friend, or your mom), make Mr. Collins’ beloved boiled potatoes, go for a brisk walk (the muddier, the better), practice needlework like mending or embroidery, or play a card game, since Austen characters often used them to reveal personality.

And lucky for me, my childhood hyperfixation has never been hotter: ❤️‍🔥 Everyone from Vogue to Glamour is hailing this fall as the season of Jane Austen (thanks to the new Austen adaptation movie Sense and Sensibility starring Daisy Edgar-Jones), so today we’re breaking down how you can have a Jane Austen fall of your very own. 🍁 Insert Mr. Darcy hand flex.
