I’m Obsessed With London Street Style—These Are the 5 Outfits I’ll Copy This Month

Must read

I might be a little biased, but London Fashion Week is without a doubt my favourite event on the fashion calendar. The flurry of inspired outfits, buzzing conversation and beautiful scenes all on my doorstep is a moment I look forward to every time. Gone within the blink of an eye, I can’t help but want to document the charming style that peppers London’s streets over the fleeting weekend.

This time around was no different—inspired by the sea of chic ensembles, I’m eager to emulate my favourite looks. A hub for excellent fashion any day of the week, these Fashion Week ‘fits are particularly special. If you too are looking for a top-up of autumn styling inspiration, read on to discover the London Fashion Week street style outfit formulas I’ll be copying from here on out.

5 LONDON FASHION WEEK OUTFIT FORMULAS TO COPY THIS AUTUMN

1. ZIPPED JACKET + TROUSERS + MESH SHOES

Style Notes: Sometimes simplicity really is best, and nothing speaks to this quite like a classic zip jacket and wide-leg trouser combination. Comfortable and chic, this easy outfit formula is elevated by an unexpected shoe pairing. Allowing a little skin to poke through, mesh ballet flats add a relaxed energy to the outfit, making it perfect for day-time events.

2. SILK DRESS + TRENCH COAT + STRAPPY SANDALS

Style Notes: A sleek silk dress and trench coat combination is one that every fashion editor keeps in their rotation throughout the autumn months—just as Who What Wear’s Editor-in-Chief Hannah Almassi who styled a silky pink dress from Sleeper with her beloved Sezane trench coat over the weekend. Completing the look with a strappy sandal, this elegant combination is a failsafe for easy sophistication.

3. STATEMENT SCARF + CINCHED BLAZER + JEANS

London Fashion Week Street Style

Style Notes: Scarfs have been coming through as a major trend throughout the summer months, so naturally they’re set to be a winner over winter, too. To bridge the temperature gap, start by styling a smaller neck scarf with cinch-waist blazer and complete the look with a classic pair of jeans.

4. CROPPED JACKET + VOLUMINIOUS SKIRT + BOOTS

London Fashion Week Street Style

Style Notes: There’s no styling combination that I love more than a structured top paired with a voluminous bottom, and this season I’ve fallen for the tulle skirt dress and cropped jacket combination. Completed with a pair of sturdy boots, this chic style formula is equal parts playful and poised, and is perfect for fashion week styling.

5. SPORTY JACKET + MINISKIRT + LOAFERS

Style Notes: Take a playful twist on fashion week wear and style a relaxed, sporty knit with a classic black miniskirt. Blending the preppy with the polished, this elegant outfit combination is perfect for off-duty wear throughout autumn’s early days.
