The Theory of Everything is one fall’s latest releases, and follows the life of famed English physicist Stephen Hawking, played by Eddie Redmayne, and his college sweetheart Jane Wilde, played by Felicity Jones. When Stephen discovers he has motor neuron disease, he is motivated to study harder, with Jane by his side.

This post will focus on Jane and her style throughout the film. Her modest and classic fashion aesthetic serves as stylish inspiration for those who prefer feminine ensembles with a vintage flair. The movie takes place in England during the 1960s, so many of the outfits I’ve created are modern versions of the looks depicted on screen.

Scroll down to see three outfits based on the fashion in The Theory of Everything:

Blue Stripes

This first outfit is playful yet feminine. The stripes on the dress are a classic pattern, while the pop of blue makes it more youthful. This look could be worn during a daytime date or on one those days when you want to dress up but stay comfortable.

Dress, Sweater, Flats, Earrings, Necklace

Mimic Jane’s movie look by pairing a striped blue skater dress with a darker blue cardigan. Choose a simple pair of neutral flats, then accessorize with a shorter silver necklace and a pair of sparkly stud earrings. The silver jewelry complements the blue dress and sweater nicely and adds interest to the ensemble.

Patterns and Croquet

This next ensemble continues the blue theme with a patterned dress and cardigan combo. While this outfit is more modest and retro than the last, if you want to modernize it a bit, simply swap the ’60s-style dress to one with your preferred length or neckline.
