London Fashion Week street style trends to shop now
1. Bomber jackets
It's time to say goodbye to your best winter coats and fully embrace jacket season. The bomber has never truly gone out of fashion, but this year's London Fashion Week street style trends prove that it is the must-have piece of outerwear for your spring capsule wardrobe. From the puffy, oversized silhouette to the cool aviation edge, there is no occasion that it doesn't work for when styled right. And with just the right amount of padding to keep out the chill, it is ideal for transitional weather days.
RRP: £85 | Light and baggy, this Cos bomber will replace your best oversized jumpers for spring. The light stone hue makes it easy to style and will add a touch of brightness as we move away from dark, wintery outfit formulas.
RRP: £199 | Made from recycled fibres, this classic khaki bomber will never go out of style. The zip pockets on the sleeves tick the practicality box whilst the elasticated hem will help to add shape to slouchier looks without compromising on comfort.
RRP: £55 | You don't need us to tell you that the best black coats are a wardrobe essential. Understated and chic, this simple plain bomber will stand the test of time - and it's delightfully affordable too.
2. Animal print
Good news, maximalists - garish animal prints are here to stay. Our favourite thing about this trend is that it can be done as subtly or standout as you want, depending on your personal style. Brown leopard print is a capsule wardrobe must-have that will pair with everything from your best trench coats to best jeans for women over 50. But if you really want to turn heads, a patent snake print accessory or oversized zebra jacket will win you serious style points.
RRP: £375 | Learning how to style a trench coat is easy with this in your arsenal. Allow this lightweight coat to be the focal point of your outfit and team it with plain denim or black bottoms to really show off the print whilst keeping it wearable.
RRP: £160 | Snake print is one of the trickier patterns to style, so we recommend starting with accessories and footwear. The best cowboy boots have been spotted on the feet of countless fashion fanatics recently, so this is a foolproof purchase.
RRP: £12.50 | You don't have to spend a lot to play into the London Fashion Week street style trends. This affordable mock neck top from M&S is a perfect layering piece that will allow you to experiment with the animal print trend before going all-out.
3. Buckle bags
Updating your accessories is one of the best ways to breathe new life into your wardrobe without neglecting the pieces you already own, so we always pay close attention to the handbag silhouettes and styles that are trending throughout the year. This season, it's all about buckles. The best Mulberry handbags are our top pick for sophisticated buckled styles, but it's not just the best designer bags that play into this look. High street retailers like Zara and Mango are always bang on trend when it comes to handbags and there are plenty of buckled styles to choose from this spring.
RRP: £995 | The Alexa has to be one of the most versatile bags out there and we love the mini version for everyday wear. It isn't one of the most affordable designer bags, but it offers a timeless take on the buckle trend with very high quality.
RRP: £109 | The best crossbody bags will always come in handy and we love how sleek this suede number from Zara is. The silver hardware adds a premium touch that will pair beautifully with statement jewellery or sparkly metallic trousers.
RRP: £275 | For those who favour the Quiet Luxury look, a small decorative buckle gives a subtle nod to the trend. Handmade in Italy from raffia, this sleek shoulder bag will be the cherry on top of all warm weather outfits.
