Bloomers, dirty wash jeans and fishnet flares – here’s how to be the best dressed at London Fashion Week
It girls and boys assemble: London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2024 is a whisper away, and wardrobes everywhere are being turned inside out to find the perfect ‘fit. Are bows still in? Do people care about Margiela Tabis or Adidas Sambas? Big hair or big bags? The pressure to tick the trend boxes and strut with personal style is officially on.
In case you want to get papped for hot internet fame but checked out of what’s good during no-spend January, we got you. woo has rummaged through street style inspo and runway reels to make your fashion week styling a lot easier. After all, it’s fun to see what all the celebs and influencers are wearing, but often the best inspiration comes from the chic lurkers and climbers waiting for their sartorial break outside.
So finish your Diet Coke, put on your faux fur coat and go shopping. Here are eight cheeky, sultry and v stylish things to add to your closet for fashion week and beyond.
When it comes to finding the right silhouette, embracing oversized outerwear is key. That’s why we love this contrast stitch jacket in deep green from The Room Antwerp to add that voluminous vibe. Style it with a classic pair of jeans, cut-out top or a mini skirt and boots. Sorted!
The Meal Deal is a British cultural staple. If you’ve ever judged someone’s sad ham, Walker’s ready salted and bottled water combo, or found yourself finessing your own holy trinity, maybe you’ll want to own this Percival shirt which pays homage to the customisable cuisine classic. Pairing a crisp packet design with cottagecore-style cross stitching, this piece will gain you style points on the front row as well as in the lunch aisle of Tesco.
These days it’s cool to not look super polished, y’know? We’re into these ultra-baggy jeans from Onrushw23fh that come complete with a brown y2k dirty wash, while the relaxed fit gives them that streetwear edge. Just add your favourite trainers and a vest top.
We love an eye-catching print, and these fishnet flares in this season’s go-to colour – red – would look great in your wardrobe. Style them with a simple baby tee, throw an oversized black hoodie over the top and you’re good to go.
Underwear as outerwear is hot for 2024. And bloomers are the latest incarnation of the trend that’s eclipsed bike shorts, with these cute satin shorties being our pick. Fruity Booty supposedly spent an entire year developing this ruched pattern with their seamstresses in Portugal, so you know they’re legit.
We’re always on the hunt for a great preloved piece. Vintage designer store Files London has some gems from brands including Issey Miyake, Ann Demeulemeester and Vivienne Westwood to pick from. Our eye’s on this Jil Sander 2000s dual-layered netted vest.
Get hyped for spring with one of Tyler McGillivary’s gorj flora and fauna-inspired designs. This black knit dress features a variety of exotic plants including a venus fly trap, pitcher plant and honeydew, so you can look like a real catch.
Say no to simple hoops or studs and give your ears some proper decoration. This pair by LA-based jewellery designer Emma Pryde have stainless steel hearts, shimmery epoxy clay and crystals. That digital-meets-otherworldly vibe is sure to bring a mythical quality to your lobes.
