“5 Big Trends I Spotted At London FashionWeek”
As Fashion Month rolls on, the world gets a glimpse into the pinnacle of style. From Copenhagen to New York, designers, content creators, editors, and models sashay through the streets of these cities in their finest. With another London Fashion Week in the bag, we share the hottest trends this great city served up…
It’s that time of year when fashion takes centre stage. We saw colours galore and unrivalled creativity in Copenhagen, pared-back urban chic in the Big Apple, but what about our great city? Having attended shows for many, many years, I can honestly say that London’s style set is pushing boundaries, embracing new ways of dressing like never before. Yes, we’ve always been at the forefront, allowing for self-expression and exceptional design, but there’s an exhilarating sense of freedom within today’s creatives.
So while the world looked on, entranced by a colourful SS26 showcase, featuring the likes of Erdem, Paul Costelloe and Burberry, I couldn’t help but notice what attendees were wearing. This is a strong indicator of how the next few months of fashion will play out before we’re back in pastel dresses and festival fits. And let me tell you, the London Fashion Week trends I noted… well, I’m on board.
Plaid is back. No question. But if you want to make like this crew, give it a punk vibe. Chunky boots, bag chains and charms, and kilts all featured heavily. Lace and tulle were the fabrics of choice. We’re talking statement skirts and a nod to the naked skirt trend. Bomber jackets were prevalent, while shades of chocolate brown and burgundy dominated. Most notably, however, was the return of the preppy look. I’m talking ties, off-duty tailoring, ankle socks and heels. Even our very own Digital Editor, Natasha Harding, rocked this look to perfection.
