This season, the city’s Fashion Week read like a style manual for coat dressing — showcasing everything from tweed and velvet to faux fur and, of course, the iconic British trench.
Once a staple, now a statement — the trench coat blazes across seasonal collections, reimagined in an expanded palette (think Classic Honey, Coal Blue, Sage Green, and Grey) and luxe fabrics like gabardine, leather, satin, and suede.
Long hailed as a wardrobe essential, the trench is now a blank canvas for personal expression.But when everyone is donning some version of the same silhouette, the question is: How do you stand out without shouting?
Let’s flip through this outerwear playbook — and channel some London runway energy into your everyday wardrobe.
Sunglasses are the ultimate aura booster. This season, they returned to the runways in full force, with bold silhouettes that blend vintage glamour and modern edge. Whether paired with a leather jacket or a wool coat, these expressive accessories instantly elevate your look.
They’re not subtle — and that’s the point. They bring “don’t look at me, but also definitely look at me” energy.
Hot tip: Oversized frames sharpen your outfit and soften the effort. Let them steal the show. If you’re feeling adventurous, wear them like you mean it — no rules, just confidence.
The brooch is having a quiet revival — and it’s louder than you think. This subtle, historically rich accessory may be small, but it makes a big statement. It quietly says, “I thought about this outfit.”
On the LFW runways, brooches were used to inject elegance and individuality into outerwear — turning coats into conversation pieces.
Hot tip: Choose bold shapes — think abstract florals, pearls, or vintage logos. Stack them for an editorial effect. Don’t stop at lapels: try pinning one to a belt, a scarf centrepiece, or even a beanie.
Layering and colour play reached new heights this season. Think tucked scarves peeking from coat necklines, or sleek headscarves paired with bold collars and sleeves. Fabric clashes added richness, while colour collisions — Burgundy Red with Lemon Curry, Army Green with Gingerbread Yellow — brought drama and dimension.
Grey, 2025’s defining neutral, pairs beautifully with punchier hues, offering balance and contrast.
Hot tip: Layer with intention. Try a shirt collar in a standout tone or a bold sleeve under a neutral coat. It’s about texture, contrast, and letting subtle flashes of colour do the talking.
A Mood, A Mission: The New-Era Woman
Beyond styling tricks, London Fashion Week whispered a deeper message — one of evolution and self-definition.
Burberry leaned into countryside codes with a sleek urban spin. Kent & Curwen reimagined British prep through a storytelling lens. Stella McCartney deconstructed corporate attire to blur work and play. Emilia Wickstead, inspired by The Birds, paid tribute to elegance in simplicity.
Together, they delivered a unified message: The modern woman defines herself — dressing for power, comfort, and pleasure.
As Wickstead said:
You can be put together but without fuss and without having to compromise – on comfort
To dress with intention is to reclaim your narrative.
And lets face it sometimes, all it takes is a pair of sunglasses, a striking brooch, and a pop of Lemon Curry.
