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 styles that I witnessed when strolling across the city, and from the window of our sleek Volvo car over the 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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
The cropped cut gives this a boxy silhouette.
These come in sizes 4—22.
Reformation's Bethany ballet flats are a fashion persons favourites.
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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This elegant satin dress also comes in black.
The khaki trench coat trend is taking off this autumn.
The block heel adds a little bit of height without sacrificing comfort.
3. STATEMENT SCARF + CINCHED BLAZER + JEANS
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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This cosy knit is perfect for shielding against the cold.
Trust me—this won't be in stock for long.
These come in so many other colours.
4. CROPPED JACKET + VOLUMINIOUS SKIRT + BOOTS
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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This also comes in light grey.
Style with a boxy tee or wear with a fitted tank.
Style these under jeans or pair with a miniskirt.
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.
SHOP THE LOOK:
The green colour trend is taking off this autumn.
Style with tights or wear on its own.
These sleek penny loafers are a wardrobe staple that will never go out of style.
