London is one of the four fashion
capitals of the world alongside Milan, Paris, and New York. However, Global
Language Monitor actually deemed the city to be the cream of the crop in 2011
and 2012. New York had previously had this title, but thanks to the Olympics
and the rise of Kate Middleton, fashion has grown in London once more.
But whilst all four fashion capitals
may have style in common, their looks are very different from one and other.
For instance, American fashion is very sportswear orientated and if you are a
fan of fashion week then you will note that New York Fashion Week showcases the
most laid back looks out of the lot. So, how do you get the London look? Let’s
take a look at some key pieces...
No Brits wardrobe is complete
without an injection of leather. This encompasses everything from leather bags
to boots to jackets. It is well worth investing in a quality leather jacket.
This is something that will never go out of fashion and will definitely be your
best fashion friend for many years to come. You can get your jacket from
somewhere such as London Boutiques to be assured of quality.
Aside from leather another must have
is a pair of skinny jeans. These have become a fashion staple for every British
girl. A lot of the time the London look revolves around keeping it simple and
finishing off with a high fashion edge. A pair of skinny jeans provides you
with the perfect platform to do so and build the high fashion edge on top of
it. And the great thing about skinny jeans is that they go with anything so you
can create an array of different looks.
Another garment your wardrobe will
not be complete without is a blazer. A blazer provides you with the perfect way
to turning your day outfit into a night time look. You can pair your blazer
with your skinny jeans and team with a pair of sky scrapper heels to emulate a
glamorous yet sophisticated style.
And last but not least, your must
have accessories in London is a scarf. And that’s not merely because it is
cold. Patterned silk scarves provide an easy way of turning a plain t-shirt or
shirt into an exciting and vibrant ensemble.
So there you have it; the perfect
garments to create the London look. To start off your London style wardrobe get
yourself a pair of skinny jeans, a blazer, a leather garment and a scarf and
you are good to go!
