Silver Screen Inspiration: A Miss Bennet, Miss Bennet, Miss Bennet and Miss Bennet

It's no secret, I love the 2005 version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice--and all other versions for that matter--but this one was filmed particularly beautifully: the saturated colors, the English countryside, the stately manors. Not to mention the costumer does an amazing job especially in regards to the Bennet sisters, each has their own style that perfectly reflects their personalities. And for this exact reason the Bennet girls a la Pride and Prejudice 2005 are the first subject of my Silver Screen Inspiration! There's nothing like a well dressed romance.

Elizabeth Bennet, the heroine of our story is no frills, no fuss. She is almost always dressed in earthy neutral tones, olive green and brown being the most common but despite her color pallet her look is never blah and does not fade into the background. Lizzie is down to earth and comfortable, often wearing a long, over-sized men's coat which was the main source of inspiration for this outfit. A versatile tank, simple black skirt, tights and boots for those long walks to Netherfield round out the ensemble along with Elizabeth's most important accessory, a book!

Mary is quiet and conservative so I opted to put her in a maxi skirt with lace-up boots and a few fun but not too over the top accessories. The glasses are an homage to past costume incarnations of Mary in the movies where she appears as a bespectacled bookworm. Girls who wear glasses seldom get passes? Whoever made up that saying was woefully wrong I think, what's not to love about Mary?

Lydia and Kitty have very similar styles, probably because Kitty is happy to follow Lydia in anything she might do. They are both fun and flirtatious which I though should reflect in both of their outfits but Lydia's is a bit bolder, mixing patterns without looking back. Kitty on the other hand is a bit more toned down but still girly and very cute with plenty of English charm.

Jane has the most romantic look out of the sister by far, she dresses in light pastels and cozy fabrics. She looks very natural, effortless and she's so nice we can't possibly hate her for being so pretty. Equestrian boots and the ladylike cardigan bring out the best in this English Rose with delicate jewelry as ascents.
