The Best of London Fashion Week Street Style

London Fashion Week may have wrapped, but the pavements told their own story. Between the shows, outside Somerset House and scattered across Soho’s side streets, the real magic was happening kerbside: editors power-walking in directional tailoring, stylists clutching oat lattes in sculptural layers, and that glorious in-between-season dressing we know all too well in Scotland — sunshine one minute, sideways rain the next.

Here are the street style shifts worth noting now.

Long Live Diane Keaton

There was a clear heroine stalking the LFW pavements this season and her name is Diane. Specifically, Annie Hall Diane Keaton — patron saint of insouciant tailoring. One of Hood’s favourite style icons lives on.

Think oversized trouser suits in charcoal and navy, crisp white shirts buttoned right up, ties knotted with nonchalance. The mood? Borrowed-from-the-boys but unmistakably feminine. Low key shoes grounded the look; slick central-parted hair kept it sharp.

It’s timeless, it’s intelligent, and it’s proof that great tailoring will always outlive micro-trends.

The Leather Jacket Revival

Be gone big coats, step forward leather jackets.

Boxy, oversized bikers. Cropped, minimalist zip-throughs. Supple chocolate browns alongside forever-black classics. The key is proportion — thrown over fluid skirts, layered atop tailoring, or paired with relaxed denim.

For those of us navigating Scotland’s “four seasons in one day” weather, it’s the ultimate transitional hero. Warm enough. Cool enough. Effortless always.

Texture Play

Street style thrives on contrast, and this season texture did the talking.

A teddy-bear bouclé coat shrugged over whisper-thin sheers. Lace skirts toughened up with chunky knits. Patent boots against brushed wool. The tension between soft and structured, matte and shine, heavy and light creates visual intrigue.

It’s less about matching and more about clashing — thoughtfully.

Belted Check Jackets

The checked and tweed jacket remains a wardrobe mainstay, but the styling twist felt fresh.

Editors cinched blazers and heritage jackets with statement belts — leather, metal, even rope-tied iterations — creating shape and intention. The result? A nod to British heritage with a modern silhouette.

Consider it the evolution of quiet luxury: classic, but confidently defined.

Statement Hosiery

Legwear has officially entered its main-character era.

From scarlet opaques peeking beneath mini skirts to zebra print tights to match a co-ordinating jacket, hosiery is no longer a practical afterthought. It is the outfit.

For spring, ditch the functional black 60 denier and experiment — colour, texture, pattern. Let your legs lead.

Homespun Scandi

There was a whisper of Nordic folklore woven through the week.

Playful capes. Full dirndl skirts. Embroidered coats with a homespun charm. It felt romantic but wearable — less costume, more character.

If you need a visual cue, think modern-day Anna from Frozen — but styled for Shoreditch. It’s about embracing craft, colour and personality in an otherwise minimalist landscape.

Head-to-Toe Red

If there was one shade that refused to whisper, it was red.

From pillarbox tailoring to fire-engine dresses and scarlet hosiery layered under matching coats, monochrome red dominated the pavements. Some went sleek with sharp suiting; others embraced texture — wool, leather, satin — all in the same saturated hue.

It’s bold, unapologetic and surprisingly wearable when kept tonal. The trick? Commit. Head-to-toe red doesn’t dabble. It declares.

Consider it dopamine dressing with intent — guaranteed to cut through even the greyest London (or Scottish) sky.

The Takeaway

London’s street style remains the most democratic runway of all — where heritage meets experimentation and practicality collides with theatre.

And as we dress for our own unpredictable spring, the message is clear: tailor sharply, layer cleverly, play with texture, cinch your classics and never underestimate the power of a great pair of tights.
