The eagerly-anticipated spring 2026 runway season is shaping up to be a stunning reveal. With more than a dozen freshly-minted creative directors debuting collections this September, we’re predicting a season rife with inspiration. However, a major style story is happening outside of the shows, too. In London, attendees hit the streets in fun, effortless ensembles, serving up plenty of wearable inspiration you can recreate at home, right now.
Vogue’s Top Street Style Standouts:
Featured in this article
Early-September in-between weather offers plenty of opportunity for experimenting. Showgoers elevated transitional wardrobe staples, like lightweight outerwear, trousers, and midi skirts, with strategic styling and a wink of individuality—nodding to the personality-driven collections that defined the fall/winter 2025 fashion. Classic shapes gained fresh appeal through prints, considered accessories, and even a bit of sparkle.
This season’s best street style brought a sense of levity, without feeling over-the-top. We’ll show you how it’s done in our styling guide, below.
Suited and Sneakered
British Vogue’s head of editorial content Chioma Nnadi’s rewrites the codes of business casual as she tones down the seriousness of a wool suit with a logo tee and old-school kicks.
Leather Weather
Make your leather jacket the outfit, as demonstrated here, by keeping the rest of your outfit simple and streamlined.
Brown in Town
Minimalist-friendly neutrals look refreshingly warm in an autumnal color palette of brown, navy, and burgundy. White sneakers ground the look.
Off-Duty Archetype
An unexpected clash of elements—a fashion jersey, shearling-trimmed coat, and reworked jeans—finds harmony in an old adage: opposites attract.
Leopard Mania
This showgoer makes a case for the spotted print as a neutral by teaming it up with staples like khaki pants and slip-on clogs. Add a mini bag in a zesty tangelo shade for contrast.
The Art of Layering
Yumi Shin demonstrates her artful layering process in this ensemble, which can be recreated with a painterly skirt (Erdem’s floral version hits the mark), sculptural heels, and accessible extras, like a knit polo and tee.
Outerwear as the Outfit
An excellent example of the outerwear-as-outfit idea, this showgoer let her suede cape make a statement, while keeping the rest of the look simple.
High-Low
Leave it to the innovative Jalil Johnson to mix Alaïa’s sheer peplum pants with a pedestrian flannel shirt and an array of multicolored necklaces for a runway-to-real-life pairing.
Preppy With a Twist
In a look that’s all about simple color and subtle, but intriguing shapes, Vogue’s Lisa Aiken lets Prada’s exposed-seam kitten heels lead the way.
Not-Your-Average Neutrals
Red, white, and blue feels more fashion-forward (and less Americana) when the shapes are billowy and the colors are slightly off.
Print Mania
Tackle a print clash with a plaid-on-plaid combination. The key here is to keep the silhouettes themselves simple, and one of the colorways in a neutral family. Even a leopard pillbox hat feels slightly understated in shades of brown.
Pleats, Please!
From plaid-on-plaid to pleats-on-pleats, these Issey Miyake separates are surprisingly easy to wear (and pack!). Add a cozy but structured cardigan and a sleek kitten heel for effortless polish.
Find Harmony in Opposites
Mix textures—a leather jacket, crisp button-down, and delicate lace slip skirt—for an understated yet multidimensional look.
The Ultimate Transitional Duo, Decoded
We love the elegant contrast of a leather bomber on top and slim, barely-there sandals on the bottom. This only works in transitional weather, so seize the moment and wear it in September!
Futuristic Minimalism
A draped poplin cowl neck and low-rise trousers strike the perfect balance between slouchy and structured. A statement belt adds just the right amount of visual heft.
Now Serving: 24/7 Sparkle
Temper a festive sequin skirt for day by adding a rugged barn jacket, simple tee, and heavy sandals.
Get Your Checks!
A navy blue set gets a stroke of color with The Row’s plaid Lancaster shirt wrapped around the waist.
Bold Color Meets Punchy Print
Another example of print and color toned down through silhouette, here a stop sign red trench and snakeskin-print skirt make an impact without entering the realm of ostentatious.

Pinstripe à la Parisienne
Preppy staples like a piped cardigan and striped trousers get an update when oversized, transforming the look from stuffy to slouchy cool. Boat shoes add a nod to current trends.
That’s a Match!
Commit to the bit with a matching set in cheerful pink. The youthful color and playful accessories prevent the look from feeling too prim.
Modern Ladylike
A simple knit maxi dress is instantly elevated through strategic accessories—a waist-cinching red belt and statement necklace do all the work.
Primary Pairings
The timeless pairing of jeans and a button-down feels completely fresh in crisp white and vibrant tomato red.
Balanced Sophistication
A pinstriped blazer worn with khakis and a casual tee strikes the perfect balance between polished and relaxed.
The Art of Dressing Down
Sofia Coppola demonstrates her styling skills here, dressing down a structured tweed jacket with classic jeans and a simple tee.
All in the Details
Layer on the accessories, like a silk scarf and multiple jewelry pieces, to transform a basic T-shirt maxi into something special.

Monochromatic Cool
It’s all in the details in this deceptively simple tonal look, which pairs a sleeveless knit with tailored Bermuda shorts, and burgundy Tabis.
Heatave-Proof
A crisp, cropped button-down meets a barely-there mini in this easy, high-low outfit, elevated with Mary Janes and a woven Bottega bag.
Preppy and Polished
A crisp floral button-up and a pleated skort strike the perfect warm-weather balance of sensible yet a little bit flirty.
Print on Print
A striped blouse and a patchwork mini make for a charming combination. Colorful retro sneakers take the look from the beach to the street.
Summer-in-the-City Uniform
Structured yet easy, this oversized shirt and tailored trouser combo nails the modern work dress code. Leave your laptop at the office and keep the accessories classic with velvet Friulane-style slippers and a structured bucket bag.
Sidewalk-Slick Stripes
For a bold take on tailoring try a pinstriped shirt and lipstick-red skirt. Add tonal heels and a top handle bag for feminine flair.
Everyday Elegance
A silky skirt and midi skirt, paired with thong sandals and oversized shades, results in effortless off-duty style, especially in tonal shades.
Vacation State of Mind
Out-of-office bliss meets city chic in this easily replicable look. A printed open shirt layered over a crop top and full cotton skirt feels breezy, unexpected, and cool.
