Eight London girls' fashion essentials
A good trench, a good coat
A good trench is the London girl’s absolute must-have. It is simply perfect for London mild, wet and windy weather and can be worn in so many different ways.
Of course, you would ideally invest in a Burberry Chelsea or Waterloo design. But there are other fabulous options on the market. Here are a few of our favourites
A taste for pattern
If you ask a Parisian girl what defines the London-girl look she would immediately say, a flowery dress.
A love of print fabrics, from Liberty floral theme to tartans, very much characterises the London girl. And she’s not afraid to mix and match them.
Masculine meets feminine
Savile Row revisited: gentlemanly attire has always been part of the London fashion heritage and the London look.
Toughen up: chunky boots and bomber jackets
The London girl doesn’t do over-refined. If she’s wearing a pleated skirt or dress, it would be toughened up with some chunky boots or bomber jacket.
Bright colour blocks
Orange meets pink… that colour mix would never be seen on a Parisian girl. And yet, the London girl pulls it off, whether with or without accessories.
Full-on look
Beige from head to toe: London girls are not afraid to go for the full look.
Mix and match: high and low
Kate Moss has always been the style icon for mix and match.
Think sequined skirt worn with athleisure, or evening minidress worn with platform boots.
A good knit
Of course, country living is never far away…
