7 Practical Basics We Saw Everywhere in London This Week

Fashion Month has departed from its second stop of the season: London. We had the photographer behind The Style Stalker snapping the best looks throughout the week, and now that the shows have wrapped up, we're taking a moment to download you on what everyone wore. 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 billowy wide-leg trousers that they styled in the most creative ways. Practicality is becoming more important in fashion these days, and Londoners have definitely taken note.
