There’s an art to navigating the unpredictability of spring in London. One day you’re wrapped up in knitwear, and the next it’s bare ankles and sunglasses, but this is the weather that London girls dress for best, with an innate ability to create cool yet effortless outfits that are ready for anything. What I love about women in London is that they’re experimental and let their individualism shine through in their style, all whilst incorporating current trends into their looks.
As a fashion editor, it’s my job to spot the emerging trends as they start to appear. Over the last year, there’s been a shift away from the quiet-luxury, minimalist style we relied on for so long, and fashion is now heading down a bolder, more individual path. Even as a minimalist dresser myself, I have to admit that it’s a welcome change.
The trends we’ve seen cropping up so far this season are rooted in strong silhouettes, and the funnel-neck jacket is the prime example. Its high-neck design is its defining feature, yet it’s still perfectly spring-appropriate (and honestly, I don’t see this spring jacket trend going anywhere any time soon). On the softer side, this spring is also all about the polka-dot revival. Adding a touch of chic romanticism to any look, it’s a timeless trend for a reason.
After scouring the feeds of my favourite London girls, I found six trends that I’m confident we’ll see everywhere this spring (though you’ve likely spotted them already). Curious? Scroll on to let London style set lead the way.
1. Funnel-Neck Jackets
Style Notes: I love the structure a funnel-neck jacket brings to an outfit. It feels polished yet not too formal, and we’ve seen an array of new styles emerging lately, from nylon to trench-coat versions. I’ve not taken my leather funnel-neck off since I bought it, and its versatility is unmatched.
