In Borrowed Plumes functions as a typical silent era romantic comedy. It adheres to the standard social and cinematic frameworks of the 1920s, offering little in the way of narrative complexity or diverse representation. The film maintains a traditionalist stance, adhering to the era's typical studio production constraints. Without granting real power to underrepresented groups, the work remains a product of its specific historical moment. Ultimately, the film lacks the subversion of established hierarchies necessary to move beyond a baseline representation of the period's social norms.
