London Fashion Week Street Style Crystallizes Wearable Trends, From Punkish Tartan to Suede Bombers

Street looks confirmed the British-heritage cues poised to filter into retail next.

Overview

  • Tartan and checks took center stage with a grunge lean, highlighted by Burberry’s punk-inflected takes under Daniel Lee.
  • Romantic frills, liquid fringe and voluminous hems moved from runway to pavement, with designers such as Simone Rocha, Edeline Lee and Richard Quinn doubling down on drama.
  • Soft suede bomber jackets in brown, caramel and khaki emerged as the go-to outer layer in street style photos.
  • Sky blue surfaced as the key color accent across shows and sidewalks, offering a light counterpoint to autumnal tones like burgundy and brown.
  • Styling cues gaining traction included socks with heels, ties punctuating relaxed suiting, cap sleeves, and a preppy streak of pleats, crew socks and chunky loafers.
