The Best Street Style From London Fashion Week

As April approaches so do the spring showers. And there is nothing more discouraging than waking up to a gloomy, stormy day — but don't let the weather get to you. Showgoers at London Fashion Week are providing the ultimate rainy-day inspiration for the upcoming months. We're calling it our stormy sartorial statement, and we'll be channeling it this spring. In London, rainy days are common so the fashion crowd was extra prepared and equipped to handle the wet weather. How to do it in a clever way and with a smile on your face? That's another challenge in itself. One that editors and influencers gladly took on for the rest of us.

Rain gear can seldom feel fashionable. Clunky raincoats that get steamy after one subway ride, boots that are so heavy you're constantly tripping every other step, and drugstore umbrellas that break at the first gust of wind. The street style at London Fashion Week provided us with moments that had us anticipating and almost looking forward to the next rainy day. A heavy-duty hat can make all the difference and keep your hair dry. Gloves at London Fashion Week proved to keep hands warm (and cute!) while holding umbrellas. And crossbody bags were slung on shoulders for easy access and a hands-free commute. The main learning is to not take things too seriously or let the rain dampen your personal style.
