Found! Jenny’s top from Call the Midwife
I found this outfit from Call the Midwife particularly memorable, as I think it's one of the few times we see Nurse Jenny in pants! Although this marks a departure from her usual full-skirt day dresses, it remains in character as it's a relatively prim look with zero accessories. So you can imagine that I was just a little excited when I found an original fifties sweater on Etsy that's almost identical (see no. 3 below).
This is the outfit that Jenny wore when she went out with the girls to a Beatnik club, and it's a look that is bang on trend now. Shop the high street for cropped narrow trousers, boxy-cut tops and soft knits. In winter, try wearing slimline tweed trousers with a soft knit funnel-neck jumper, and go for print cotton pants in summer with a boxy-cut top.
Here, my favourite picks for getting Jenny's style.
1. The Sweet Life pants in plaid, $44.99 from Modcloth.
2. Tweed print pant, AU$129 from Country Road.
3. 1950s sweater top, AU$21.89 from Savvy Spinster Vintage's Etsy shop. You can find more styles like this in my 'Call the Midwife: Get the Look' page on Etsy.
4. Fendi cropped wool-blend pants, £204.16 from The Outnet.
5. MAC Lipstick in Red Balloon, AU$36 from MAC.
6. Vintage Vogue '50s cardigan knitting pattern PDF, AU$4.74 from Authentic Irish's Etsy shop.
7. Diane von Furstenberg Emma pointed toe flats, AU$250 from Shopbop.
8. Max Mara Alton sweater, £213 from Matches Fashion.
9. James Perse cotton French terry top, reduced to £73.12 (approx. AU$133) from The Outnet.
