2. Gingham & Tartan print is IN.

If you haven’t noticed yet. Brits don’t only like tartan prints on their table cloth but on themselves as well. They love it so much even their dogs wear it. So find a top , bottom , shoe wear or accessories with the gingham print on it and you’ll be part of the granny chic team.

Ruffled jumpers, trousers, skirts, coats, anything you can imagine has ruffles. it makes everything cuter and proves that London ladies never leave their door without looking classy.

4. Long or Fluffly coats for every season.

One thing Londoners seem to never leave at home is a good old trench coat- Whether it’s vintage or classic style, there’s always one on them. Sometimes, the flashier or fluffier the better. It’s a Statement piece.

5. Chelsea boots are a must have.

Chelsea boots are very British and a very London item. There is no Londoner who doesn’t own a pair. Pack one when you visit. Classic black, wine, auburn suede or patterned ones are most popular.

6. Hats are optional but a good beanie is a plus.

You see a lot of people wearing hats while strolling across London, but they’re probably heading to a very British event. As a tourist, if you visit the city during the colder seasons, a beanie will be perfect to blend in with the crowd.

 

7. Pack a Pinafore dress.

Pinafore dresses might be another London statement. You will see a lot of girls and women wearing them to go out with friends or even to go to work. Freedom of Fashion expression is highly encouraged.

 

8. Tights under anything

Fishnet tights in summer, thick knitted ones in winter, funky patterned ones in Fall. There’s tights for every season and London is the place to wear them.

British Fashion let’s you explore your style, no restrictions. So don’t hesitate to mix unusual colours together-That mustard jacket might look great on top of that striped multicolour high neck top or with that blue checkered skirt.

10. Small Classic Backpack or Satchel as a bag.

If you’re visiting, bringing a classic backpack might be easier, but if you want to look classier then go for a leather satchel style bag. The colour doesn’t matter much, it’s the vintage/classy look that says it all.
