Anti-Trend Denim Outfits I See Every Day in London

The secret to a hardworking wardrobe is to have a selection of trusted pieces and fallback outfits you can always rely on. We all have days when the last thing we want to do is waste time thinking up new outfit ideas, and that is where an everyday uniform comes in. Denim is the backbone of my wardrobe, and while I love a statement silhouette, sometimes I just want something stylish and simple.

There are certain anti-trend looks that I see every time I leave my London flat that, while they aren’t exactly groundbreaking, always look effortless and polished. You need to start with a pair of jeans that you really love and feel your best in—Levi’s Ribcage jeans or Agolde’s Pinch Waist jeans are two cult styles that have amassed a loyal following for a reason. Then, you want to make sure you have an arsenal of classic items that are resistant to the fickle trend cycle and are neutral enough to unlock easy styling. Think the perfect shower-proof trench coat, a beautiful cashmere crewneck, a trusty pair of loafers, and a wear-everywhere beige blazer.

Keep scrolling to see the seven anti-trend denim outfits that you’ll see in any London pub. Rain or shine, these will see you through all of your weekend plans.
