With spring finally here, most of us are probably focusing on what to wear for the new season. However, in the capital of the UK, all eyes were on autumn/winter 2026 as London Fashion Week was the talk of the city. And whilst most of the talk over fashion month has been about what was trending on the runways (which you can hear our thoughts here), I couldn’t help but notice all of the chic street style looks as well. And this, of course, includes the cool outfits I spotted on my fellow editors.
The Who What Wear UK editors made their way around London in stylish but practical outfits suited to navigate the numerous runway shows and presentations, as well as to celebrate our own 10-year anniversary party (thanks to the Kiyori Bar at Aki London). As ever, we travelled from show to show with our beloved Volvo Black Edition XC90 and our driver (shout out to Krys!), who was always on hand to take us from A to B, or take our much-needed outfit pics. From shows to presentations, coffee pick-ups and parties after-dark, whether we were heading west for the ultra-luxury brands or travelling to east of London to discover up-and-coming designers, or dodging the (very predictable) UK showers, Volvo got us around in style.

Naturally, once we were all back in the Who What Wear UK office, I had to ask them for their exact outfit breakdowns. So if you’re in need of some new-season outfit inspiration or are simply curious about what editors wear during fashion month, keep scrolling to see what Who What Wear UK editors wore to London Fashion Week in February 2026
What the Who What Wear UK Editors Wore to London Fashion Week
1. Faux-Fur Coat + Boots + Handbag
Style Notes: “When it comes to LFW outfit prep, my first thought is practicality. We all know London isn’t known for its balmy, tropical weather, so the prospect of travelling from end to end of the city in thin layers is a no-go for me—enter the statement coat. A coat like this is the outfit (thank you, Karen Millen), and such an amazing print needed very little else to make it fashion week-ready. My staple kitten heel boots go with just about every outfit, and when I saw this incredible pink Prada Supernova bag at The Handbag Clinic, I knew it had to feature somewhere, and as it turns out, it made surprisingly good sense with a zebra print.” – Remy Farrell, fashion editor

PARIS TEXAS

2. Rain Jacket + Capri Leggings + Mules
Style Notes: “London was set for another day of drizzle, so a chic raincoat felt like an obvious option. Far from the dowdy styles I reach for when dashing out for a rainy walk to Sainsbury’s, Damson Madder’s checkered design brought a welcome sense of whimsy—perfectly suited to a day spent admiring London talent. I paired it with capri pants—another comfort-led choice—,but the cropped proportions added a touch of intrigue to the silhouette. From there, I kept the styling simple: oversized earrings, a tote roomy enough to stow my laptop for in-between-show writing, and a pair of understated black mules to finish.” – Natalie Munroe, news writer

3. Cape Jacket + Knee Skirt + Statement Boots
Style Notes: “It’s important to note that Remy and I did not discuss our outfits ahead of getting dressed that morning, but were happy with the coincidence. The accessories are the MVPs in this outfit here—I love animal print, especially zebra right now, so the boots speak for themselves. The Chanel bag is one I sourced from eBay, it’s from 2006 and one of the best secondhand purchases I’ve ever made. The wrap coat jacket and leather midi skirt are both from Massimo Dutti, I wanted something simple to wear so my accessories and footwear could shine. Then I topped the outfit off (quite literally) with a pillbox hat, which was inspired by my colleagues at Who What Wear US, who all seemed to be wearing one at New York Fashion Week.” – Rebecca Rhys-Evans, deputy editor

4. Denim Jacket + Jeans + Loafers
Style Notes: “Fashion week is a high-impact spectator sport. Those on the sidelines—well, front row in this case—aren’t just tasked with being passive observers, but are invited to get amongst the action and involved with the proceedings from the runway. This often entails even the most senior of editors sprinting to show, dashing across the city, and even madly dashing to find their seats à la Sofia Coppola at Chanel’s spring/summer 2026, should they be caught up in the minutia that is daily traffic. For this season, I almost wanted to lean into the energetic and fast-paced nature of the week even more by dressing with function in mind, whilst of course keeping things stylish.
Reaching for a double denim set from Australian brand With Jéan—I’m from Sydney after all, so it’s always special to style something homegrown and spotlight it on the international stage—I felt prepared for whatever the day brings in this effortlessly polished and practical uniform. A Canadian Tuxedo is actually the closest thing to a tastemaker’s uniform—just look at the personal style of Interview Magazine’s Mel Ottenberg—so wearing one out and about did really make me feel equipped for anything. To bring in some more individuality, I paired the look with a Mia Thermopolis-coded knitted hat from Asta Resort (peep the cute crochet rosette on the side!) and a blue suede tote bag from Manu Atelier.” – Ava Gilchrist, SEO writer

5. Bomber Jacket + Mini Skirt + Brogues
Style Notes: “As much as I admire the innate “Londonness” about the eclectic styling flocking the streets during London Fashion Week, I always try to keep my week’s worth of fits as me as possible. And above all, comfort and warmth are key. Now, I know I say this in a mini-skirt funnel-neck ensemble, but trust me, there was method to my madness. With little time in the schedule, any seasoned Fashion Week goer knows the tube or walking is often the best way to get around. And, in the mayhem, it’s rather easy to work up a sweat. So, any iteration of a skirt is a fail-safe way to keep cool. But then, you typically are waiting outside whilst waiting for the shows to start, and the weather in London, especially in February, can be a tad chilly. So, this is where my practical yet on-trend funnel-neck jacket comes into play. Not only did it keep me cosy, but it provided that cool-girl “London” edge the season is known for. Finishing with a derby, a shoe practical enough for the 10,000 steps you’re likely to achieve. Injected some visual interest through my longline Fuchsia Shaw plaid shirt to break up the muted contrast; it’s an outfit I’ve worn on repeat since.” – Imani-Nia Francis-Tsolakis, junior fashion editor

6. Trench Coat + Shirt + Skirt-Trousers
Style Notes: “In classic London style, it was raining on day 2 of fashion week, so my outfit centred around practicality. I’ve had this raincoat for years and wanted to give it a preppy spin with a shirt and tie, paired with this grey pleated skirt/trouser hybrid to lean even further into the school uniform vibe. To finish it off, fashion week for me isn’t complete without a fun accessory, so I topped it off with a fun, fluffy hat.” – Megan Storey, social media editor
