5 Elevated Items to Wear in London
hello, lovely,
As I sit here what has to be my favorite coffee shop in London, Harris & Houli, I’m just thinking about you and what I would recommend you bring if you were planning a trip to London town. Why? Because in my eyes, London is one of those cities where style matters. It’s classic and eclectic all at once—where trench coats meet streetwear, and heritage tailoring meets playful edge. I loved styling outfits for this trip because London fashion is all about taking elevated pieces and making them feel wearable. Here are my top five items I’d recommend packing (or scooping up once you arrive).
1. The Trench Coat
London weather is famously unpredictable. A trench coat is timeless, chic, and instantly elevates even jeans and sneakers.
Attainable: Kate Spade Trench

2. Tailored Trousers
Londoners know how to do tailoring, and a pair of trousers will take you everywhere—from a museum visit to dinner in Soho.
Attainable: Zara Pleated Trouser
3. Statement Sneakers
You’ll be walking miles in London. Comfort is key, but style is everything. I picked up leopard Adidas sneakers on Carnaby Street as my personal keepsake of the trip!

Mid: Adidas Samba Leopard
Attainable: Veja Women's Wata II Low Sneakers
4. A Crossbody Bag
Perfect for strolling through markets, grabbing coffee, or heading into the Tube. Hands-free and stylish.
High: Chloé Marcie Crossbody
Mid: Tory Burch Fleming Soft Bag (a nod to my maiden name <3)
Attainable: Anthropologie Slouchy Faux-Leather Bag
5. The Elevated Knit
London style leans into layers. A chic knit (especially with texture or color) is cozy, stylish, and versatile.
High: Ralph Lauren CollectionCashmere Crewneck Sweater
Attainable: Mentone Half Zip
Closing:
These five pieces make London dressing simple, stylish, and so you. Fashion in this city is less about perfection and more about personality—classic foundations mixed with elevated, wearable touches. Exactly how I love to style. ✨
