After spending the first few months of 2021 in the U.K. lockdown, Feeling Feral Classic T-Shirt & Sweatshirt – Multiple Colorways – Cross-gender Fashion house-bound with very little reason to dress up, I’d forgive you for thinking you never wanted to see a pair of leggings again. And if so, you’re not alone. As we slowly emerge from our collective hibernation and restrictions begin to ease across the country, there seems to be a renewed sense of enthusiasm that comes with getting dressed. Whether it be popping out for a quick coffee with a friend or venturing to your local park, Brits are finding reasons to dress up. Proving exactly this sentiment, last month, photographer Michaela Efford and I ventured to East London’s Broadway Market (a hot spot for fashion lovers, if you don’t already know that) in search of some stylish individuals to photograph. On our way, we serendipitously came across familiar influencers, models-off-duty, fashion designers, and other creatives, all of whom were strolling through their local shopping strip with style to boot. From vintage leather jackets to spring-ready floral dresses and Converse high-tops by the dozen, keep scrolling to see what women are really wearing in London right now.

I don’t drink coffee, but something tells me I’m going to develop a caffeine addiction this season. Feeling Feral Classic T-Shirt & Sweatshirt – Multiple Colorways – Cross-gender Fashion Beige used to be a dirty word in fashion circles, but my, how times have changed. The main character in the quiet-luxury aesthetic, one might argue that the term itself is now dated, but its impact certainly isn’t. With plenty of neutral looks edging on the lighter, caramel side of the colour spectrum, we witnessed the shade being worn top-to-toe by models across all four cities, in every show from Michael Kors to Max Mara. “Every year, I find myself gravitating towards a particular colour which ends up playing the lead role in my wardrobe,” says Joy Ejaria, Who What Wear UK social media editor. “I’ve gone through many phases, and last year’s pink moment still occupies a fond place in my heart. But this year, I want to mute it down a little. We’ve had quite the obsession with dressing like our favourite foods—’vanilla girl’ and ‘tomato girl’ are just two examples. If you thought this trend was on its way out, then think again. This year, I and many others are taking things up a notch and turning our fashion heads to our favourite coffees. The lure of ‘latte dressing’ lies in how easy it is to create expensive-looking outfits, whatever your budget.”. “Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m fully expecting the backlash of stealth wealth and quiet luxury to begin shortly, but in terms of what people actually want to wear? They’re after items that feel realistic for their lives,” says Block. “That means black trousers that are cut just right, knitwear that looks good whether you’ve thrown it over a pair of joggers or a slip dress and a classic white shirt. Even major brands such as Versace—usually known for its mega-glam pieces— are leaning into ’90s minimalism, along with the likes of Bottega Veneta and Coach. Even though this trend has been around for a few seasons, it’s so easy to slot into any current wardrobe as it provides the timelessness that plenty of buyers are after. Similarly muted tones over at Rabanne, Carolina Herrera and Maxamillian Davis’ Ferragamo were also pushing the more ‘wearable’ concept, with the latte-dressing trend continuing from last season and well into next.”
