Fashion Month has departed from its second stop of the season: London. Nc State Wolfpack Men’s College World Series Participant Shirt Now that the shows have wrapped up, we’re taking a moment to download you on what everyone wore to and from. Each fashion week, we expect to see editors, bloggers, and celebrities wearing some of the most over-the-top outfits to and from the shows, but in London, this season, the street style scene overwhelmingly took a more practical approach, and it honestly felt like a breath of fresh air. We noticed so many showgoers wearing more basic (and dare we say “boring”) fashion items like crisp Oxford shirts, cool trench coats, and smart loafers that they styled in the most creative ways. Practicality is becoming more important in fashion these days, and Londoners have definitely taken note. Keep scrolling to see the looks that caught our attention and shop the six basic items we saw from the London Fashion Week street style set.

Milan witnessed a big change, too. Nc State Wolfpack Men’s College World Series Participant Shirt Gucci’s new creative director Sabato De Sarno held positions at Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino before taking on this role, which catapulted him and his first collection for the brand into the spotlight last September. Buyers, editors and celebrities descended upon the Italian city to take in the spectacle—ask any fashion devotee without a ticket and they would likely have told you they’d give away their Birkin to have a front-row seat at this show. There’s no denying that De Sarno’s predecessor Alessandro Michele kept Gucci on the fashion map with his geek-chic sensibilities; an aesthetic that would define a moment in fashion history. Still, moments pass, and we saw De Sarno usher Gucci into a new era, one that places more value on essentials over eccentricities—a notion we’re seeing across the rest of the industry. A business built upon the customer’s desire to be seen in shiny new things will always have its issues. However, the thing that felt “new” this season was that some things just didn’t change at all. Perhaps the most noteworthy takeaway was that trends don’t seem to hold the same power that they used to. I’m generalising, of course—things get meta real fast if you so much as take a peek into the no-trends-actually-being-a-trend rabbit hole—but it feels as if creating trends for the sake of it could be a thing of the past. “The spring/summer 2024 collections have shown a continued commitment to 1990s nostalgia and the extraordinary everyday, where everyday items are elevated to exceptional levels of design and style whilst remaining chic and comfortable,” observes Net-a-Porter’s market director Libby Page. And she’s right. The market has experienced a shift of tectonic proportions in recent years where a genuine focus on quality over quantity and investing in things that last has become a priority for previously frivolous shoppers. The latest collections reflected this.
