9 signs that you’re a frazzled English woman

Since her inception in 2023, the frazzled English woman has proven herself to be far more than a fleeting trend. Well, she’s been around for over 20 years, to begin with — best embodied by the likes of Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones, Natasha Richardson in The Parent Trap and Iris Simpkins, Kate Winslet’s character in The Holiday.
The frazzled English woman gave a name to a type of woman we all know, and who many of us happen to be. She’s frantic, hasty and distinctly relatable. She’s a mess of scarves and claw clips, held together by a beloved long coat that, if it was damaged or lost, would threaten her entire mental state.
While she’s instantly recognisable to others, the frazzled English woman can’t always see herself in the mirror. For anyone in doubt, here’s how you can tell if you’re her. One scarf is standard, if not requisite, for being a human living in England. Two is a fashion choice. Three is excessive, overkill, and almost certainly the behaviour of a frazzled English woman. Bonus points if one of the scarves is a skinny scarf, one is striped, and another is so big that you could basically use it as a blanket.

Every frazzled English woman you know owns a pair of glasses that are at least four years old, scratched in multiple places, stretched from being pushed up into her hair and nearly always a little smudged. The glasses case hasn’t been seen for months, the dust cloth is just whatever top she’s wearing right now.

If you know and love a frazzled English woman: drag her into an opticians and block the door until she gets an eye test. If you are one: Ace & Tate are doing free eye tests, and their new The Tatemans collection is perfect for updating outdated specs.
