5 Street Style Outfit Formulas from London Fashion Week to Copy this Autumn

I might be a little biased, but London Fashion Week is without a doubt, my favourite event of the fashion calendar. The flurry of inspired outfits, buzzing conversation and beautiful scenes all on my door step is a moment that I look forward to every season. Gone within the blink of an eye, I can’t help but want to document the charming style that peppers London’s streets over the fleeting weekend.

Inspired by the sea of chic ensembles, I was impossibly eager to emulate my favourite looks. A hub for excellent fashion any day of the week, these Fashion Week ‘fits are particualrly special. If you too are looking for a top-up of autumn styling inspiration, read on to discover the London Fashion Week street style outfit formulas I’ll be copying from here on out.

1. ZIP JACKET + TROUSERS + MESH SHOES

Style Notes: Sometimes simplicity really is best, and nothing speaks to this quite like a classic zip jacket and wide-leg trouser combination. Comfortable and chic, this easy outfit formula is elevated by an unexpected shoe pairing. Allowing a little skin to poke through, mesh ballet flats add a relaxed energy to the outfit, making it perfect for day-time events.

2. SILK DRESS + TRENCH COAT + STRAPPY SANDALS

Style Notes: A sleek silk dress and trench coat combination is one that every fashion editor keeps in their rotation throughout the autumn months—just as Who What Wear’s Editor-in-Chief Hannah Almassi who styled a silky pink dress from Sleeper with her beloved Sezane trench coat over the weekend. Completing the look with a strappy sandal, this elegant combination is a failsafe for easy sophistication.

3. STATEMENT SCARF + CINCHED BLAZER + JEANS

Style Notes: Scarfs have been coming through as a major trend throughout the summer months, so naturally they’re set to be a winner over winter, too. To bridge the temperature gap, start by styling a smaller neck scarf with cinch-waist blazer and complete the look with a classic pair of jeans.

4. CROPPED JACKET + VOLUMINIOUS SKIRT + BOOTS

Style Notes: There’s no styling combination that I love more than a structured top paired with a voluminous bottom, and this season I’ve fallen for the tulle skirt dress and cropped jacket combination. Completed with a pair of sturdy boots, this chic style formula is equal parts playful and poised, and is perfect for fashion week styling.

5. SPORTY JACKET + MINI SKIRT + LOAFERS

Style Notes: Take a playful twist on fashion week wear and style a relaxed, sporty knit with a classic black miniskirt. Blending the preppy with the polished, this elegant outfit combination is perfect for off-duty wear throughout autumn’s early days.
