If you’re looking for ways to make your fall wardrobe feel a bit more relevant, these trendy moments are sure to spark major inspiration. Keep scrolling for five need-to-know trends that dominated London Fashion Week’s street style scene.
Fancy Foulards
Dealing with rainy forecasts or bad hair days just became ten times chicer, thanks to the revival of the foulard. Grab a playful print—like Burberry’s iconic check worn by Jourdan Dunn or a wild animal motif—to make all of your classic fall outfits standout.
Pops of Red
Out of all of the color trends, the red renaissance is proving to have some staying power, especially in the handbag department. Give those black bags a break and invest in a head-turning tomato-hued carryall for an instant wow factor.
Tomboy Chic Shorts
Anything guys can do, we can do better, including striking a pose in baggy shorts. Whether it’s a surfer board short style or a swoosh-worthy basketball design, now’s the time to lean into the cool edge of tomboy-inspired shorts.
Hello, Kitten Heels
Want an easy way to look pulled together without the pain of a stiletto? Kitten heels are the cool-girl secret for instantly elevated outfits. Brownie points if you have a pair in a contrasting white hue.
Mad for Plaid
’Tis the season to lean into the allure of plaid prints. No matter if it’s a wild pair of pants or a fancy halter, the winning pattern feels undeniably chic right now.
