From lovers of 60s fashion and boho tie-dye to vintage fiends and continental classicists, the capital is alive and well with an eclectic mix of street styles.
Street Style - London
Fashion student Alessandra, 17, mixes this season's denim and sheer trend with aplomb. Her high-waisted cut-off shorts are from Levi and the sheer top is from Whistles. And we covet her quilted Vivienne Westwood statement bag.
It's true that your best accessory is a smile. A fact that's not lost on teacher Shelley, 28 from New Zealand. We also love her embellished LBD from Primark. Full marks.
Beehive? Check. Perfectly applied liquid eyeliner? Check. Vintage box bag gifted by amazing mother? Check. Art and fashion student Alex, 19, effortlessly pulls off her monochrome 60s retro look with careful attention to detail. We are particularly taken with her Chanel ballet flats and Reiss sunglasses.
As the managing director of an events company, Sara, 43, knows how to hit all the right style notes with carefully chosen classics. She's paired her figure-flattering Ted Baker dress with simple accessories for the perfect casual summer evening on the town.
Amanda, 34, has kept her look casual and cool by teaming her Firetrap jeans with a black, sheer top from Debenhams. The lace brings her ensemble alive with a nod to the look of the moment, and we love how her zingy red Primark clutch matches her toes.
English student Rossi, 23, caught our eye with her brightly printed harems and cross-the-body bag. The silver accessories – hoop earring and chunky watch – add a nice touch to her outfit. Unfortunately, we can't copy it unless we catch a plane – Rossi bought everything in her native Spain.
Operations manager by day, awesome triathlete in all her spare time, Carolyn, 32, loves to channel Gallic style. She bought her dress and statement necklace in a boutique on a recent trip to the south of France. Her shoes are from TK Maxx. Joie de vivre!
Costume maker Madeline, 25, looks chic and casual in her black skinny jeans by Alba FanClub, primark shirt and the cross-body bag she mad herself from an old leather jacket. She's fashion forward too with her skinny vintage belt – a must-have for Autumn.
Clair, 36, has kept her look simple and understated for a night out with her sheer Zara top that classily channels the underwear on display trend without going over the top. And if we had those lovely long pins, we'd be wearing dark denim skinnys too.
Banker Komal, 28, loves preppy American style as illustrated by her navy shirt dress from Banana republic. The cinched in belt shows off her tiny waist, and the flats are perfect for a day out shopping.
