Wild, eclectic and unexpected. This is the only way to summarise what happens on the streets of the British capital during London Fashion Week. As the autumn/winter 2026 catwalk shows take over some of the most fabulous venues the city had to offer, it was the looks seen outside of those spaces that stopped traffic. And the best part? There's something for everyone.

From bold, colourful looks that defy cold winters with a heavy dose of serotonin, to minimal silhouettes with maximum impact, to full-on sportswear chic. At its core, London's style is ineffable as it defies all clichés. As Charlie Teather noted in her guide to dressing for the shows, there are really no rules or dress codes you have to follow, which makes the outcome even more exciting and diverse.

London's street style is basically an evolving moodboard that can serve as a look into the crystal ball of fashion. So, what will be wearing next season? From bold accessories to tonal looks that play with volume, these London Fashion Week street style looks are predicting a pretty fabulous AW26.
