London Fashion Week is back for physical events, showroom appointments, and the best of the city’s street style. At the spring/summer 2022 shows, attendees were spotted in bold prints and colourful outfits to celebrate the return of the catwalks. From the best of LFW street style, we handpicked nine fashion trends that showgoers are loving.
It seems Bridgerton and The Queen’s Gambit had more of a sartorial effect on us than we realised. According to London’s style set, corsets and check prints are here to stay well into spring 2022. Attendees are also keen on blazers, tailored trousers, and statement leather pieces. Blazers and chinos lend themselves to a corporate aesthetic that signals a return to the office. And statement leather pieces, like slick trousers, a smart pencil skirt, or a cool blazer, are a trend we’ve been seeing more of at LFW.
Joyful dressing is another look to keep an eye on, either vibrant, painterly colours that lift the mood, like a yellow dress, red coat, or green suit, or clashing printed pieces that are styled together for a uniquely eclectic look — try florals with check prints. Our list couldn’t be complete without ’70s revival, and it seems the denim of choice for 2022 is straight, wide-leg jeans. Accessories wise, retro, yellow-tinted sunglasses have charmed not only London’s style set but also fashion-lovers in Copenhagen and New York.
