Author's Style

Austen's fashion sense is a mix of business chic and athleisure wear. I say this because she maintains a haughty style in her writing, both in how her characters behave and in her ironic and presumptive tone when introducing societal expectations at the time. At the same time, she emphasizes authenticity and infuses her work with the sentiment that authenticity is more rewarded than conformity, so athleisure represesents her idea of comfort and realness rather than haughty and sophisticated, but ultimately fake, conformity.
