I’ve been observing street style in London—here are the 5 trends that are currently gaining popularity.

      While I enjoy analyzing runway looks straight from the catwalk, nothing truly rivals the allure of street style for me. I’ve found that the sidewalks outside the shows often provide as much inspiration as the collections themselves. With a keen eye for emerging trends, Fashion Week street style serves as an excellent gauge of what is currently resonating with the public. With London Fashion Week just concluded and a new wave of street style photos making their way in, it didn't take long for a few prominent trends to emerge. From the stylish shoe tricks everyone is trying out to the autumn jackets that stylists are sporting, here are five street style trends that Londoners are championing this September.

      1. Frothy Frocks

      Style Notes: With designers like Simone Rocha and Susan Fang featured this past week, it's no surprise that the fascination with frills and frothy styles made its way onto the streets. Voluminous skirts, lace-trimmed dresses, and abundant ruffles added a romantic touch to London's pavements.

      Style Notes: This season sees a luxurious update to the bomber jacket in soft suede, which has been eagerly embraced by fashion enthusiasts. Available in shades of brown, caramel, and khaki, it fits perfectly into an autumn color palette without feeling heavy. Over the weekend, it was seen layered over crisp shirts or paired with worn denim, instantly elevating an outfit's cool factor.

      Shop the Trend:

      Style with denim for a chic autumn appearance.

      Zara

      Suede Effect Bomber Jacket

      While I love this in khaki, it also comes in a classic brown finish.

      The White Company

      Suede Batwing Jacket

      This light beige tone easily integrates into a capsule wardrobe.

      3. Socks + Heels

      Style Notes: Rather than debuting a brand-new shoe trend, London's style icons employed a chic styling technique: pairing heels with socks. Fun and preppy, the calf-length socks add personality to basic heels, turning them into a fashion week update that can transform an outfit entirely.

      Shop the Trend:

      These also come in a classic black shade.

      This subtle outfit enhancement can completely alter a look.

      Marks & Spencer

      Suede Square Toe Slingback Shoes

      The suede trend continues to thrive.

      Style these with a tall heel or match them with a comfortable loafer.

      4. Decked in Checks

      Style Notes: Checks have long been an autumn staple, but this season they surged on the street style scene with renewed energy. From tartan dresses and heritage-inspired skirts to oversized shirts and accessories, checks—whether worn head-to-toe or as a striking accent—added a grounded element to otherwise trendy outfits.

      Shop the Trend:

      COS

      Draped Checked Midi Skirt

      Style this with the matching top or pair with a simple tee.

      Damson Madder

      Marissa Sheer Midi Dress

      Act fast! This item won't last long in stock.

      Topshop

      Full Circle Maxi Skirt

      Style with biker boots and a chunky knit for the perfect autumn ensemble.

      5. Cap Sleeves

      Style Notes: Elegant and understated, cap sleeves became one of the most refined trends of the week. Frequently paired with high necks, this silhouette adds a sense of thoughtfulness to an outfit, and given its frequent appearance at the shows, it’s likely to become a subtle yet impactful staple this season.

      Shop the Trend:

      Reformation

      Sophia Reversible Knit Dress

      The pale blue trend is on the rise both on and off the runways.

      Ganni

      Ruched Cotton-Blend Top

      Pair with denim to incorporate this trend into your everyday wardrobe.

      Mango

      Perkins-Neck Knitted Dress

      The knitted design ensures a comfortable fit.
