Although there is more Bottega available than one street style photographer can capture alone, you’ll also find that the attendees of London Fashion Week like to wear pieces from the high street as much as the next human being. The difference is, perhaps, that editors, buyers and the like have a little more experience when it comes to choosing the affordable items that really look expensive and really do last. As a discerning bunch, we’re pretty averse to throwaway fashion or wearing something only once, so the time spent behind selecting key items from cheaper stores is something you can all benefit from. We’ve done a great deal of the trawling, the trying and the sending back to feel confident in what we do actually recommend.
The street style trends at LFW have been a mixture of luxe basics (think summer’s beige-trouser trend continued…) and the avant-garde (hello, crazy-bright colour clashes), so it makes sense that the high-street items we’ve noticed trending reflect the same duality. From simple, timeless items like a leather skirt from COS through to something more vibrant, such as a poppin’ pink dress from Warehouse, below are the very best high-street pieces we’ve seen on the street style set at London Fashion Week this September…
