Are you having a ‘Meg Ryan fall’? What to know about the nostalgic TikTok trend
Seasonal trends come and go, but classic ‘80s rom-coms will forever be in style. That’s exactly why the “Meg Ryan fall” trend resurfaces on social media every autumn.
When the leaves turn brown and the air gets chilly, fashionistas on TikTok turn to Meg Ryan’s quintessentially quirky characters for fall fashion inspiration.
In addition to the winsome charm of Nora Ephron films like “When Harry Met Sally,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” and “You’ve Got Mail” Ryan’s characters in these classic rom-coms share one important trait: they all have enviable fall wardrobes.
Despite the decades that have passed since “When Harry Met Sally” first premiered in 1989, TikTok users are still taking their fall fashion cues from Ryan’s iconic characters.
From turtlenecks to wide-leg trousers, all of Ryan’s characters share a cozy-yet-cool ethos.
Bookish Kathleen Kelly in “You’ve Got Mail” often wears cardigans, wool tights, and sweater vests. Ryan’s style gets even cozier in “Sleepless in Seattle,” in which she bundles up in cozy sweaters, warm socks, scarves, and sweats.
Of course, Ryan sports some of her most iconic looks as Sally Albright in “When Harry Met Sally”: Layered sweaters, smart trousers, chic work blazers and an iconic Diane Keaton-inspired hat, to boot.
Notably, the “Meg Ryan fall” trend doesn’t end with clothes.
Nora Ephron’s rom-coms are famous for their autumn aesthetic: think overstuffed couches, long outdoor strolls, cluttered bookshelves, and quaint cafés.
The trend also plays into the fantasy, romance, and escapism of classic rom-coms.
It hearkens back to an era in which online lovers met through AOL chatrooms instead of Tinder, and secret rendezvous were arranged by letter instead of text.
If you’re hoping to experience your own rom-com moment this fall, follow Meg Ryan’s example and take your prospective love interest on a cozy date. Either way, curling up on the couch with a Meg Ryan flick is always the answer to a perfect fall evening.
