#2. Double denim
Denim dominates the street scene as the fabric of the moment. While denim-on-denim can go oh as wrong as a Canadian tuxedo faux-pas, designers artfully style denim from head to toe in sartorially elegant ways. From crisp indigo jeans paired with faded denim jackets to distressed shorts with denim shirts, the range of styling options is endlessly versatile. Burberry’s denim bag and shoe combinations further extend the dual denim dimension into must-have accessories. Consider this London cool stamp of approval for fashionable denim dressing.
#3. Mob women’s jackets
Oversized coats are on trend with a Sopranos-esque vibe, channeling the luxe looks of mafia women cruising through Manhattan in mega furs and shiny coats. These life-size toppers are the size of a blanket coat in animal prints, vibrant solids, plaids and buttery leather. The look borrowed from the boys focuses more on voluminous shapes than precise tailoring, and exudes a laid-back swagger. The Mob Wife aesthetic may not be the usual London inspiration, but trust British designers to make the unlikely trend incredibly chic for their area.

#5. Fancy coffee notes
The classic combination of black and brown gets a touch of Java inspiration on the streets of London. The rich brown coffee bean left its mark on the city and brought warmth and depth to the cold days. From creamy beiges to deep chocolate browns (with a hint of espresso), the range of shades played well in shoes, bags and ready-to-wear. Consider this the new way to liven up your wardrobe.

#6. Nice sweaters
When the temperatures drop, Londoners quickly become cozy in their knitted garment: the trusty wool sweater (aka sweater for Americans!). This knit friend can be worn effortlessly under jackets and over button-downs as a key transitional piece. Classic cable-knit versions appeared regularly, but the streets gave chunky variations extra leeway. Oversized styles, playful colors and clever textures put a quirky new spin on the beloved sweater. Even shorter cuts felt fresh and gave new proportions when paired with voluminous trousers and mega jackets.

#7. Beautiful pleated skirts
Bouncing pleated skirts swept the streets of London, swaying with schoolgirl charm. Hemlines hovered around the knee (above and below), with voluminous shapes contrasting with ultra-slim silhouettes in dresses and jackets. Versatile design details such as convertible sheaths, side button closures and convenient pockets made the pieces multifunctional.
