Slightly Oversize Wool Coats

On Wright: Aritzia coat

"Every fashionable person in London these days is wearing a slightly oversize wool coat (mostly in black, gray, or neutral), over straight-leg jeans, boots, and a big scarf. A longer-silhouette coat gives off a sleek, stylish vibe." — Wright 

Straight-Leg Denim

On Wright: Theory peacoat; Mother jeans

"Faded blue or black seems to be the go-to wash this season for straight-leg denim styles. They look great with absolutely everything!" — Wright 

Classic Gray Sweaters

On Wright: Anine Bing sweater

"Seen everywhere in London: chunky turtlenecks and classic gray sweaters layered under wool coats. Casual but sophisticated" — Wright

Black Boots 

On Wright: J.Crew trench coat; Stuart Weitzman boots

"Literally everyone is wearing black boots, mostly in a Chelsea style or a flat knee style. Pair denim with the Chelseas and knee boots with dresses and skirts. You’ll be up to date and look amazing!" — Wright

Cool Accessories 

On Wright: Chloé tote

"Accessories are the pieces that complete every outfit. In London, I noticed chunky, longer scarves loosely wrapped, and either polished crossbody bags or totes." — Wright

Matching Skirt Sweater Sets

On Wright: Haven Well Within sweater and skirt

"This is another easy way to look elevated and still be practical if you’re in the city. I saw both sneakers and knee boots worn with the matching sets, as well as with knit sweaterdresses. So stylish!" — Wright

White Sneakers 

On Wright: Loci sneakers

"Everyone around London is wearing sneakers … with everything! The brands I noticed most often include New Balance and Adidas (Sambas or Gazelles) and a few new ones like Loci. I picked up a pair there and love them." — Wright
