London Fashion Week: Styling Tips From The Runways
From XXXL knitwear at Roksanda to tucked in trousers at Rejina Pyo, these are the styling tips to take from London Fashion Weeks AW20 runways
Somewhere in between Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis, London Fashion Week battled through the wind and the rain to present next season's wish list front runner.
The runways brought us inspiration for that one seasonal investment piece, while also reminding us there is no need to buy all new each season. Instead, we can switch up the styles of our existing wardrobes or add a simple accessory to coincide recreate the hottest trends at fashion week.
Here are the hottest styling tips straight from the catwalks, meaning you can have a slice of the designer pie at a fraction of the price.
Shrimp's Sports Sunglasses
Inspired by the royal family's home in Balmoral, Hannah Weiland sent her models down the catwalk in London with Lady Diana-style blow-drys, Queen Elizabeth-esque faux fur and Princess Anne-inspired sports sunglasses.
Something about the off-key pairing of prim plus punchy sunnies is really working for us, now to bottle up the courage to try the look ourselves.
Roksanda's XXXL Knit
If we needed another reason to get into crafting then Roksanda's XXXL knits are it.
A patchwork of fuchsia, forest green and butter yellow, the jumpers and jumper-dresses paraded in front of Cate Blanchett and Zawe Ashton are making us reach for the knitting needles.
However, if making isn't your bag, then you can recreate the look by paring different coloured-knitwear together, be it a jumper, scarf or hat.
Charlotte Knowles' Corsets
Recently adopted by the likes of Bella Hadid and the Kardashians, corsets have had something of a feminist rebranding, evolving from tools of patriarchal oppression to celebrations of femininity.
Knowles layered hers over t-shirts and joyful trousers, and we're going to try it too.
A.W.A.K.E Mode's Tunic Layering
At this point, we've got our tucked in roll neck plus slip skirt look down pat. But A.W.A.K.E Mode's AW20 show during LFW has us thinking we should be pairing our midis with tunics instead.
Rejina Pyo's Tucked-In Trousers
One part swash-buckling pirate and another Scandi blogger, Rejina Pyo made joggers look incredibly chic by tucking them into buttery soft leather boots.
Simone Rocha's Sideways Sashes
If you happen to have a long, silk scarf knocking about, then consider tying it around your shoulders and knotting firmly on your front. This is how Irish designer Simone Rocha sent models down her runway, making her models look cosy and put together.
Molly Goddard's Creepers
Whilst we're tempted to attach a ribbon bow onto our woollen hats, it's Molly Goddard's creepers that have truly inspired us.
Toga's Double Coat
During the stormy weather, it feels fitting that Toga's models wore not one, but two coats to keep warm in the wind and rain. Pulling the outer Mac down off the shoulders adds a whimsical edge to a practical outfit.
Yuhan Wang's Lace Capelets
There is something infinitely whimsical about a capelet, and Yuhan Wang's lace iterations somehow take it to the next level.
To be worn over equally fanciful floral dresses like at Wang's show, or even over a white cotton vest and vintage Levis, you could even make your own if you're craftily inclined.
