ondoners will always add a quirky and preppy twist to their style, and the LFW streets gave an approving nod to these observations. Bold color combos and daring accessories dotted the scene, but that wasn’t all. The streets were also bursting with rebellious flares to otherwise seasonal traditional go-tos. There was also a resurgence of prints like checks and gingham, and traditional tweed jackets morphed into cropped renditions. Oh, and let’s not forget bleached brows, ugly shoes, and a general fashion juxtaposition that were the London street style favorites this season.

As the temps drop, it’s expected that thicker fabrics make their way to the front rows of our closet. This resulted in creative layering representations flooding the streets. Meanwhile, tiered skirts worn over ankle-high boots with oversized denim jackets were the ubiquitous preferences of individuals distinctly dressing for colder weather. Of course, there were those who rebuffed the season-appropriate options, leaning to skimpy offerings. London Fashion Week exhaled fresh air to transitional dressing, and if you aren’t taking notes, you’re wrong.

At London Fashion Week, these timeless pieces were mostly seen paired with snooty and eccentric coordinates. As a stand-alone number, the secret is to play around with prints, proportions, and textures.

The ugly trend has been in cyclic mode these past seasons, and the London Fashion Week style trends have showcased more daring renditions. While some style stars and runways interpreted head-to-toe ugly dressing, others took to the wrong shoe theory for an unpredictable twist.

This summer, cherry red socks were a whole thing, but it seems fashion isn’t done with them. A variation of shoes, including the ballerina flats, were paired with cherry red socks in unexpected ways.

Soft leather and velvet were splattered all over London. These pieces were on a hyper-feminine roll. Either worn separately or merged to form magic, these textures are undoubtedly here to stay.
#7. Hoodies

The thing about fashion is that it’s the gift that keeps giving. Hoodies have transcended sweatshirts and casual tees to ethereal drape frocks flaunting them. Simply put, the fluidity of fashion has become permission to put a hoodie on any look, either casual, semi-formal, or full-on red carpet-ready looks for maximum slay.

Prints will always represent the perfect blend of classicism and modern art and with endless styling options — tweeds against florals or gingham clashing with playful graphics — you’re sure to find a combo that pleases you. Look in your mirror before heading out to ensure these prints clash in harmony.
#9. Barely-there capes

Barely-there-everything was on the front row of London Fashion Week style trends. The sheer dresses became thinner and the blouses only heralded the lingerie beneath. But one of our favorites was capes just hanging carelessly on shoulders, but with a firm grip. Paired with bralettes, denim bottoms, and metallic accessories you see why we couldn’t resist.

#10. The pop

What’s fashion season without a commensurate color play? Pastels on pastels, bold hues on vivid tints, and pop of colors against the backdrop of neutrals won unapologetically across the spectrum. One thing common with all techniques was fun color play regardless of the theme — casual ensembles and graceful frocks all lined up to the color party season.
