every city has its unspoken style theme. Some lean toward meticulous planning, while others have a laissez-faire approach to fashion. As the popular saying goes: ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’ it’s advisable to give a nod to the style sensibilities of the cities you visit, without completely changing your style. If you’re planning a trip to London and wondering what to wear, there are a few additions you can make to your closet that will make you stand out for all the right reasons. Whether the weather is warm or cold, these fashion pieces are an easy way to get used to the city lifestyle.
If there’s one thing you should know about London, it’s that it’s known for being wet. Yes, it is not out of place to be greeted with light rain showers and cloudy skies all year round. This is why Londoners often keep an umbrella handy, as you can’t be sure when the rain will decide to drop by. Therefore, our first advice is to take with you a stylish umbrella and shoes with rubber soles so that you can continue to drip despite the unexpected drops. Now that we’ve covered that, here’s what to wear next time in London.

#1. White shirts
Get that white shirt in your wardrobe and put it to good use by combining it with a cardigan or sweater, black skinny jeans and a pair of Doc Martens boots. For a more girly look, you can combine it with a sheer maxi skirt or wear the shirt over a flirty dress and finish with pumps or boots, depending on the weather.

#2. A polished coat
Another outfit to consider is a polished coat that speaks to the sartorial heritage the city is famous for. You can pair a tank top with straight jeans and pair it with a jacket for an elevated casual fit. Otherwise, combine a mini dress with sneakers and top it off with your jacket. For a star effect, leave the jacket loose or close it with a belt around your waist for an extra dimension.
#3. Denim skirt
A denim skirt is another piece you can wear in London that performs effortlessly. Try a midi denim skirt with a center slit paired with a graphic tee. Although simple, this look is far from boring. You can also skip the T-shirt and wear a tank top under a leather jacket for a cool look. Whether you pair it with sneakers, boots or mules, this combination will serve you well.
#4. White and black
Not only the city of Paris loves this combination. London appreciates it too. That’s why you can combine a fitted midi dress with white and black polka dots with a white and black striped coat for an understated clash of patterns. Or else: rock black trousers with a bell bottom, a white turtleneck and sneakers for a relaxed look.

#5. Turtleneck x denim
Are you longing for an elevated casual look? Then the legendary turtleneck in cargo jeans is a hit, especially for the city of London. Wear a blazer and a chic hat for a look that’s impossible to resist.
#6. Spicy monochrome
If you’re still wondering what to wear in London, play with different shades of a specific color, like a true Londoner. Here, a mini dress is an interesting option to explore. Wear a black structured mini dress with matching tights and jacket for an eye-catching look. Complete the ensemble with matching boots, loafers, platform soles or sneakers, depending on your preference.
#7. Pleated skirts
A pleated skirt paired with a cropped tank top unlocks a level of flirtatiousness that only the city of London can offer. Add a shacket, untied, to the mix to emphasize the ease of getting up. If you want a little more drama, go for #neck mess by stacking your favorite chains of different lengths and finishing with motorcycle boots like a rock star!
