Seen on the Streets—8 Trends East Londoners Sport Whenever I Step Out of My Apartment

      I've been residing in London for nearly a decade now, and I've always had a fondness for the East End. I don’t have any issues with the West, North, or South Londoners and their specific areas, but the East has always been my preferred zone, and it continues to provide me with great access to green spaces, charming and tranquil cafes, hidden night spots, and plenty of welcoming pubs. It's also where most of my friends have settled, so it naturally feels like home, and I am sure it will continue to be so for many years ahead. Having spent a significant amount of time in the East End allows me to quickly notice local trends as they emerge, almost mentally cataloging them as I observe. I've always been observant and enjoy spotting fashion trends as they appear in the real world after making their way down from the high-end international catwalks, all from behind my black-out sunglasses, just like Anna Wintour. The Transport for London journeys feel like my personal front-row experience, whether I'm packed into the Central Line, riding my favorite bus route, or waiting for the Overground train at my local station. I see everything!

      What sets East End style apart is its combination of relaxed and purposeful elements. There's nothing overly fussy or overly styled—people here are too cool for that. There's a lingering admiration for 90s influences, especially evident in denim jeans, tank tops, muted color palettes, and relaxed silhouettes. Accessories are typically minimal, featuring a hoop or two of gold or silver jewelry, or perhaps a vintage pendant or chunky bracelet, with small yet practical handbags taking center stage. The women in the East keep their looks straightforward, laid back, and authentically stylish—free of excessive embellishments. If you resonate with this style, read on for the eight local trends I've been noticing almost daily, along with curated shopping options to help you achieve the look. Enjoy browsing!

      1. **Denim Bermuda Shorts**

      Style notes: Jorts have had a bad reputation in the past, often invoking grungy skater imagery from bygone eras, but modern interpretations present clean lines, crisp colors, and a minimalist vibe. Denim longline shorts, or Bermuda shorts, can easily transition from casual to dressy. Consider pairing them with ballet flats or sneakers for the day, or opting for a kitten heel for evening outings.

      SHOP THE TREND:

      - Free People: We the Free Montana Shorts – I adore the loose fit of these shorts.

      - SLVRLAKE: Square Denim Shorts – This cool-girl LA denim brand is a must-know for every Londoner.

      Pair with lovely cami tops and 90s shades for the complete look.

      I consistently return to ARKET for essential wardrobe pieces. Their items are chic and simplified.

      2. **Crochet Ballet Flats**

      Style notes: While sneakers are a go-to choice for daily city wear, I've noted a more elegant footwear preference among the East London style community. These flats are worn with t-shirts, flowy skirts (we've coined that term!), or relaxed denim in monochrome shades, showcasing ballet flats with a summer '25 upgrade in lovely crochet, mesh, and woven designs. They add a delicate touch to even the simplest outfits.

      SHOP THE TREND:

      - Next: Neutral Forever Comfort® Square Toe Crochet Ballerinas – The cream shade is perfect for summer styling.

      - Topshop: Amara Crochet Mesh Ballet in Black – The square toe detail is a lovely addition!

      These TOTEME beauties have a bohemian allure.

      I adore the rich rust color of these knitted flats, injecting a pop of color when needed!

      3. **Minimal Barn Jackets**

      Style notes: Okay, I’m advocating for this, as is Emma Hoareau. Despite the heatwaves we’ve been experiencing in London and throughout the country, we are still susceptible to rain, cooler evenings, and cloudy weather—naturally! I’ve spotted East London women sporting streamlined barn jackets this summer, which have nicely transitioned from the Spring season. Pair them with jorts, simple white tanks, and luxurious flip-flops for a typically Olsen-inspired look, regardless of the weather.

      SHOP THE TREND:

      - TOTEME: Corduroy-Trimmed Coated-Canvas Jacket – Likely to be the most sought-after jacket this year.

      - New Look: Stone Contrast Collar Barn Jacket – I own this jacket and frequently get compliments on it. It looks high-end!

      - Abercrombie & Fitch: Short Twill Barn Jacket – Abercrombie & Fitch makes fantastic jackets. This barn style is a wardrobe essential.

      - DÔEN: Pascual Corduroy-Trimmed Cotton Jacket – DÔEN creates beautiful summer separates, dresses, and jackets. This one stands out.

      4. **Gingham Sets**

      Style notes: A simple way to achieve a cohesive look
