New York Fashion Week ended with a bang, and although London Fashion Week arrived and finished with but a whisper, the street style scene was anything but. The LFW showgoers proved, as they often do, that everyday dressing can be just as exciting, if not more so, than event or evening wear style—and they did so by incorporating punchy texture, bold details, trending prints, and edgy silhouettes.

Everyday dressing doesn’t have to be formulaic, and Londoners constantly remind us of that—despite our penchant for simplistic, minimalist tones stateside. The fashion crowd attending the shows, from Dilara Findikoglu to Burberry and Erdem, utilized their personalities to make pieces pop. Case in point, polka-dot dresses were combined with lug-sole black boots; baggy denim was paired with structured blazers, and sequined skirts were contrasted by bomber jackets and laid-back sweatshirts. For tips on how to revamp your own wardrobe this season, take inspiration from the London Fashion Week crowd, below.
Add a Shimmering Skirt to Your Everyday Lineup
You may think your sequined, metallic, and embellished skirts have no place in your rotation post-holiday season, but think again! Everyday preciousness was on display in London, with one showgoer opting to make her cold-weather staples a little more eye-catching.

Toughen Up Your Track Pants With Leather
Athleisure feels more relevant (and looks cooler) than ever, and it’s all thanks to the items we re refusing to rule out when it comes to styling methods. Instead of wearing yours with a sweatshirt or sporty jacket, opt for a cinched-waist leather coat—the juxtaposition is both unexpected and sleek.
Embrace the Polka Dot
Polka dots read inherently feminine—often adorning dainty dresses and semi-sheer skirts. To toughen yours up, add edgy accessories like lug-sole boots, a metallic top-handle bag, and an oversized black coat.
Put a Pinstripe on It
If your closet is brimming with different black blazers, we get it—the blazer is a wardrobe necessity, often worn for work and play. But change is welcome every now and then to keep things interesting. Here, take a cue from London’s best with a pinstriped blazer that offers structure and polish. Contrast it with baggy denim and tough boots.
Layer in Leopard
Animal patterns are still trending, with leopard, zebra, and cheetah print ruling the print kingdom. Instead of going monochrome, toss a leopard-print coat over your everyday separates, then add a pop of color with a red shoe.
Borrow From the Boys
Women have long since taken suiting from menswear and crafted their own category, but sometimes we still like borrow from the men’s side of the closet. The next time you wear an oxford and matching suit separates, consider adding a playful tie.
