7 Major Trends We Spotted on the Street Style Set at London Fashion Week

In true Brit fashion, the Londoners delivered a healthy serving of varied, yet impeccably styled looks this September for London Fashion Week. Parading across East London, the city's most stylish arrived in packs sporting the slickest trends from the country's hottest designers. 

We spotted a number of enduring trends that have continued to build for the past few years, whilst noting a few new arrivals that have won the hearts of the style set in recent month.

From surprising new trends, to old favourites that endure for good reason, see below my favourite trends from the London streets this past Fashion Week.

1. PLENTY OF PLEATS

Style notes: As we start dressing for autumn, summer's billowy maxi skirt has been usurped by its structured sister, the pleated style. Adding swish to your step, the fashion-crow favourited all styles of pleats during London Fashion Week this September.

Style Notes: Is there any other clothing item more synonymous with London style than a classic trend coat? The street style set think not. Fairing well against the unpredictable weather, showgoers who bundled up checked the box of both stylish and dry during the drizzly weekend.

3. SMART STUDS

Style notes: Though London style has evolved enormously over the past few decades, if you walk the streets during Fashion Week you'll find that many Brits still have a soft spot for the city's grungy roots. Plenty of studs were spotted peppering showgoers outfits for a hardy take on Fashion Week dressing.

Style Notes: When done right, double denim is a failsafe for a chic ensemble. Play around with different cuts and variations in shades, or choose a matching denim set for a put-together look.

Style Notes: There was one undisputed king of the London streets this fashion week, the Mary Jane shoe. Sported with oversized layers, feminine dresses and simples jeans, the Mary Jane slipper was the shoe of choice this Fashion Week.

6. GREY SUITING

Style Notes: As in previous years, the straight-forward suit set had its time at London Fashion Week. This year, instead of styling colourful sets, the fashion crowd pared it back to a refined, grey shade that they wore head-to-toe.

7. DRESSES OVER TROUSERS

Style Notes: We've seen the noughties trend permeate into the mainstream in the form of low rise jeans, ballet flats and wedges in recent months, but now we're spotting the fashion set revitalise an old styling trick loved in the early '00s: skirts and dresses over jeans. Styling up trending mesh dresses over sleek, straight-leg trousers, the fashion set have put a fresh spin on the old-favourite.
