As far as Fashion Month goes, London is particularly known for its artistic and rebellious designers, from heavy hitters like JW Anderson and Simone Rocha to smaller names like Conner Ives and Dilara Fındıkoğlu. As one might expect, the street style outside of the shows reflected the uniquely playful British POV. With temperatures a bit warmer than what New York had to offer—and no snowstorms in sight—spring colors in particular were everywhere.
While the styling of light, optimistic shades felt like the standout trends, show attendees all managed to do it differently. A subtle butter yellow became a favorite amongst those who opted for quiet luxury–leaning trousers and cardigans. Pastels in particular were used to complement bolder colors in either coordinated or contrasting hues. And one of the freshest ways to embrace the trend was through layering of bold sheer fabrics over otherwise simple wardrobe staples, like a Molly Goddard dress worn over a white button-up.
Below, see the best looks from London and shop our favorite pieces inspired by the outfits we can’t stop thinking about.
Kind of Blue
A mix of powdery pale blue pieces pop against the richness of a buttery yellow trench coat.
A Peek of Pink
Pastels can subtly make their mark when styled with neutral pieces. Start with streamlined silhouettes and add in one or two contrasting colors.
A Study in Contrasts
At Molly Goddard’s show, former Skins star Kaya Scodelario found a high-volume way to bring color to a look punctuated by edgy accessories.
Bright Suiting
Skip the usual beige, navy, or black, and embrace suiting in a joyful pop of color. Add a patterned blouse underneath to take this look to the next level.
Like a Layer Cake
For a cool twist, take a page from Harper’s Bazaar’s Tara Gonzalez by using a pop of pastel as an unexpected layering piece in a more traditional look.
Candy Colors
Channel a surprising street style look and try mixing pastel hues with some black pieces. It’ll add a bit of edge and prevent the final look from feeling too saccharine.
Soft yet Bold
Subtle pastels don’t have to be worn solo! Mix in some bright colors, neon, and texture for the best kind of saturation.
Pastel As Neutral
Choose something soft enough, like a dusty pink, and it’ll basically serve as a neutral in your ensemble.
Unsubtle Orange
Embrace your inner Creamsicle with a pale peach that can be punched up via bold pinks and blues.
