Now that Fashion Month jetted across the pond, we couldn’t help
but notice a change in some street style trends. While many stepped
out in
look-at-me shades of pink during New York Fashion Week, the
ladies of
London have been bringing an understated elegance to the
streets. Minimalism is having a moment with show-goers wearing
pared-back tailored pieces such as blazers and trousers as well as
fabulous layered looks with cozy sweaters and crisp blouses.
I am a big proponent of a
capsule wardrobe filled with forever pieces and London is
backing up that theory by making the case for timeless style. The
looks are simple yet oh-so-chic, with perfect tailoring and a
goes-with-everything neutral color palette. If you are looking to
achieve the same classic yet cool look, brands such as
Wardrobe.NYC, Khaite,
TOTEME,
The Row and ÉTERNE are great places to start your shopping
adventure. They specialize in this idea of “coded luxury” which
means producing top-notch quality pieces that are meant to stay in
your wardrobe forever. Below are some of our favorite effortlessly
cool London looks, then pieces to shop the styles yourself.
