Here's Everything Our Editors Wore to London Fashion Week

We've missed you, London Fashion Week, but what a welcome return it has been. Whilst the rest of the country focuses on what to wear this autumn, in the capital, all sights were on S/S 25, and amongst the waterproof coats and sandals (necessary for weather that could not make its mind up,) inside the venues, the runways were alive with bursts of colour, texture and vibrancy that felt like a celebration of the turn of the season.

London has always had the reputation of being the rebel child of fashion month. Whilst Paris has its couture roots, Milan is an artistic mix of high-fashion prints and colour and New York is lofty and cool, London has always championed anarchic edge, and the city's playful attitude was out in full force this season, making the most of the feeling of dressing up and heading out before the temperature inevitably drops.

So what did Who What Wear UK editors wear to celebrate this momentous return to statement dressing? In typical fashion, we stayed in central London for the week (thank you, Native Places!) and brought our fashion personalities into the mix, wearing everything from longline coats to statement skirts (with plenty of exciting accessories thrown in for good measure). Whether heading to postcodes in East London for up-and-coming designers, pounding the pavements of West London for über luxury or dodging the rain in style (we were very lucky to be chauffeured by Volvo!), we stayed true to our favourite outfits.

So, if you fancy a little new-season inspo or simply just a nosy into our wardrobes (and I don't blame you), keep scrolling to see what we wore to London Fashion Week September 2024.

1. Trench Coat + Satin Dress + Strappy Heels

Style Notes: You can always rely on editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi to put together a look as fashionable as it is functional. Hannah says, "I wanted to get some extra wear out of this Sleeper nightie-inspired dress as we head into autumn, so I took a leaf out of Alexa Chung's book and paired it with a trench coat. I took the hem up on the dress and used the remaining fabric to make a neck scarf, so heads up that it could be longer on you."

2. Wool Coat + Slip Dress + Slingbacks

Style Notes: Deputy editor and quiet-luxury queen Maxine Eggenberger says, "You simply cannot go wrong with a cream slip dress, and this one from Ghost is just the kind of elegant piece that deserves to be sitting on the front row. Add a wool coat with a belt to give it some shape along with a statement slingback heel and you've got yourself a premium pairing that's ready for the office, the weekend or even a date night."

3. Long Coat + Tailored Trousers + Loafers

Style Notes: Senior fashion and beauty branded content editor Rebecca Rhys-Evans' look is a homage to the best of upcoming British talent. Rebecca says, "In case you missed it, brown is the autumnal shade for 2024, and what better way to celebrate it than by wearing it from head to toe? Monochromatic dressing is so chic and really quite easy to do—it's a go-to style formula that I use time and again in the cooler months.

"Special mention has to be made for this delicious Aligne George coat, which is so cosy, and, in my opinion, looks so much more expensive than it is. Another piece I know I'll be wearing all season is this JW Anderson top. At first glance, it seems like a basic base layer, but the cream pleated detail on the arms makes a subtle statement."

4. Knitted Dress + Leather Bag + Sandals

Style Notes: Hannah says, "I'm never not wanting to channel the red-dress-woman-dancing emoji, and this knitted Kitri dress does it well!"

5. Trench Coat + Embroidered Skirt + Slingbacks

Style Notes: Maxine says, "By the end of a jam-packed day, it was time to stop for dinner. This trench coat and lace skirt combo is the kind of chameleon outfit that effortlessly transitions from day to night. Lace and other textured materials were also a huge trend both on and off the runways this LFW."

Shop the Look:

6. Statement Top + Jeans + Top-Handle Bag

Style Notes: Rebecca says, "Another day, another JW Anderson top. I love this one with the Christiane Kubrick cat print, and it managed to fetch me a lot of compliments from cat people at fashion week! I bought these vintage reworked jeans in Tokyo, but nowhere stocks statement denim quite like SSENSE. From Acne Studios, The Attico and LU'U Dan, you can get lost in its jeans offering."

Shop the Look:

7. Cardigan + Oversized Belt + Bubble Skirt

Style Notes: Hannah says, "I was 100% influenced by Who What Wear UK's content on this perfect bubble skirt from COS—it has a great amount of fabric and feels incredible to swish about in!"

Shop the Look:

8. Suede Trench + Button-Down + Tailored Trousers

Style Notes: Maxine says, "Suede was a huge London Fashion Week street style trend, and one that I’m willing to bet will continue into next spring as well. This versatile trench would look just as good thrown over a floral dress with ballet flats in a few months as it does with a button-down and tailored trousers now."

Shop the Look:

8. Blazer + Poplin Skirt + Pumps

Style Notes: Maxine says, "Opting for a head-to-toe monochrome look is a simple but effective way to make it look like you spent a lot of time getting ready, even if you’re in a rush in the mornings. The white poplin midi skirt is a style we saw pop off earlier this year, and it shows no sign of disappearing for S/S 25. Try pairing yours with a black blazer, bag and pumps for a fail-safe chic look."
