TeaEveryone here always has a reason He admired his English teacherIntriguing, unconventional, and often a little flamboyant, they were the fun ones you wanted to impress. They were also the best dressed and followed the rules specific dress code set For them some almighty magician magician was sitting on top of a cloud Pastor Vagabond while reading The First FolioAnd now that autumn is in full swing it feels like Everyone everywhere is trying to emulate this aesthetic.
If you weren’t paying attention in your English lessons, allow us to guide you in your revision. The look is defined by a few key staples: tailoring, clean lines, and an oversized silhouette. According to new data released by Depop, the so-called “heritage chic” trend is dominating the platform at the moment, with searches for “tweed” up 86 percent since July, while searches for “argyle” and “trench coat” are up 127 percent and 170 percent respectively. The secondhand fashion market has underpinned the sudden rise in popularity of Celebrity Traitors, with host Claudia Winkleman often seen wearing collegiate clothes, while stars including Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry have worn capes, check coats and velvet jackets.
“After years of subtle trends, we’re seeing shoppers lean toward classic and sophisticated style. We’ve seen an increase in the heritage chic aesthetic on Depop, with searches for barn jackets (+1,045 percent) and cashmere (+167 percent) increasing,” says a spokesperson for the secondhand retail platform. “The celebrity trouser aesthetic, with layers of tweed, Fair Isle knits and sharp tailoring, is contributing to the growing trend.”
Importantly, this trend is bisexual at its core and when worn well, can work just as brilliantly on men as it does women. The latter was best exemplified by the late Diane Keaton, who died last week at the age of 79, causing rapid disappointment among cinephiles and fashion fans.
On and off screen, Keaton was known for his distinctive style, such as three-piece suits, ties, waistcoats and collared shirts. This look was best exemplified in Annie Hall, made famous by her relationship with Woody Allen, who wrote, directed, and co-starred in the film. Here, Keaton’s wardrobe is totally college campus code: wide-leg camel trousers, a tartan scarf over a white collared shirt, a tight tweed blazer, and a maxi dress over a tight-fitting long-sleeve top. It’s casual, academic, and super cool.
“Heritage’s chic aesthetic found a perfect inspiration in Diane Keaton,” says a Depop spokesperson. “What people loved about her style was her sense of effortless, authentic longevity. She mastered the art of borrowing from menswear with sharp tailoring, vesting and sophisticated layering, making her look feel utterly feminine and individual.”
It’s an inherently sustainable look, considering how easily it can be created through vintage and secondhand items. However, in addition, there is also a sense of careful consideration behind it.
“Diane Keaton’s wardrobe resonates every autumn because it embodies structured comfort: a balance of tailoring and warmth that’s appropriate for both mood and temperature,” says Rosa Franken, e-commerce manager at Dutch footwear and accessories brand Aurelian. “His signature mix of crisp shirts, wool blazers, turtlenecks and masculine silhouettes captures the essence of collegiate dressing: intelligence, nonchalance and quiet confidence.”
Perhaps dressing with education in mind is a way to reflect your intelligence in the world. After all, we are what we wear. So the appeal of wearing collegiate clothes makes sense for those who want to convey a sense of understated confidence that feels effortless and smart. It certainly had implications in this after huntingLuca Guadagnino’s latest film is set at Yale and focuses on a sexual assault allegation.
Starring Julia Roberts, Ayo Adebiri, and Andrew Garfield, the film serves as a masterclass in autumnal college campus dressing. As for Garfield, the Sly Professor vibe is channeled through a denim Ralph Lauren shirting, double-breasted blazer, and jeans, maintaining a low-key, somewhat intentionally dirty look. While Roberts and Edebiri’s wardrobes mirror each other (a deliberate narrative tenet of the film), with the uniform defined by white baggy jeans (high-waisted and belted), round-neck T-shirts worn under double-breasted blazers, and black loafers.
“All the characters in the movie have the same stuff, blazers, loafers, jeans, button-downs,” costume designer Giulia Piersanti said in an interview. cut“My mood boards were filled with women I’m inspired by, whose style is so subtle and effortless that it never goes away.” Keaton, Joan Didion and Caroline Bessette were all cited as references to the film. “A lot of people came up to me and said they would like to wear clothes like this,” he said. “I feel like it’s a style that’s been around forever. I see it on the streets. It’s focused, practical, smart dressing that’s not trendy.”

The brands worn by the characters may seem different to the typical college professor or student (this is a lot of The Row and Lemire) but they can be easily replicated if you know where to look. All-around favorite brands for collegiate style are COS, Arket, and Sezane (check out this viral). Clyde trench coats), all of which offer a wide range of well-made, structured staple items that fit well into the trend. Elsewhere, Meghan Markle’s go-to brand, With Nothing Underneath, has excellent collared shirts in silk and linen, whose rampling trousers It’s also very Keaton coded – yes, the name is a reference to another autumn fashion hero, Charlotte Rampling.

Massimo Dutti also offers a wide range of options, including a Exclusively dynamic brown double-breasted suit In woolly intercourse. At Reformation, there’s also a range of tartan skirts and dresses that reflect the heritage side of the trend.
Dressing like this gives one strength. It’s not just about harnessing the timeless aesthetics popularized by some of the most revered women in art like Didion and Keaton, but also about subtly channeling something subversive, turning traditionally masculine clothes on their head and giving them a unique, vibrant energy rather than something rigid or stuffy. Few could even deny the allure of pursuing academic authority in our wardrobe. Because, to be honest, the English teacher aesthetic never really lost its stronghold. Deep down, we all just want to write our own, very fashionable stories.
