Style Notes: Wide-leg trousers have been at the top of the style agenda for the past few seasons, but their appeal isn't waining in London. Easy to pull on and go in, I see so many fashion types pairing theirs with simple vest tops and slider sandals.

Style Notes: Sandal season is officially upon us, and although London women always fall back on simple styles, for 2023, I'm seeing more and more people gravitating towards sandals with toe-post details, be it a metallic ring or a pretty-looking stone.

Style Notes: Oxford shirts have always been commonplace in the banking district, but blue-and-white stripe shirts are infiltrating the wardrobes of fashion people, too. Worn with the aforementioned wide-leg trousers, relaxed layers such as this are becoming a style signature in London.

Style Notes: Following the simple theme of my edit, I was keen to hone in on a versatile dress staple London women wear from day to night. Although there were a few contenders—black sundresses and white linen were up there—most prevalent of them all was the elevated slip. Never clingy, London women gravitate towards ever-so-slightly looser silhouettes.

Style Notes: The waistcoat trend was first embraced by the London-based style set, and they still remain very loyal to it. For 2023, I'm seeing more shorts-and-waistcoat co-ords coming through than ever before.

Style Notes: I'm a huge basket bag fan, but I'm finding that London women are opting for braided leather styles more than their straw counterparts this season. Who can blame them when they look this polished?

Style Notes: 2023 is the year of the skirt, with maxi hemlines proving just as popular off the runway as they were on it. Although there are plenty of A-line options out there, to achieve that simple aesthetic London women have near perfected, opt for a sleek column cut.

Style Notes: One of the biggest shifts in the jewellery world this season has been the surge in the popularity of silver, which Londoners are embracing in the form of sculptural rings, chunky hoops and chain necklaces.

Style Notes: When it comes to quiet luxury, the colour that defines the aesthetic has to be buttermilk yellow; a delicate shade that looks so expensive no matter how much the garment in question cost you. It was a key trend I spotted worn by guests at the coronation, one that seems to be trickling down into the everyday London wardrobe, too.
