Somewhere between the Met Gala [1] and Milan Fashion Week, the street style set [2] descends on the UK to catch the lineup at London Fashion Week [3]. While dressing in head-to-toe trends is rarely the case in the age of personal style [4], there are a few commonalities emerging with showgoers and fashion insiders who have all seemingly embraced bright, beautiful colourways as they dash around London.
For fall, when we're used to seeing neutrals — think leather and denim — it's a treat to see this style crew showing off high-octane hues, mixing and matching bright colours and prints to give us something new in the way of seasonal outfit inspiration. Maybe it was all that time inside last year, but the dress code is decidedly upbeat — catch a few of the looks here for the proof, the happiest street style trend.
