Frothy, funky and fresh, these are all the best street-style outfits from London.

As fashion week comes to a close in the British capital (and the industry moves on to Milan) we’re taking pause to look at the clothes off the runways.

There’s always been a unique tenor to London garb, navigating that tension between trying too hard or not all with a skill that’s admirable. You’ll see absolutely cooked outfits and a good old sweater; both will look brilliant and easy.

Plenty of that this season of course. Plus the frothy femininity was particularly good (it helps when Simone Rocha, Yuhan Wang, Erdem and Molly Goddard are on the schedule, drawing guests like the eternally cool Laila Gohar).

Here’s what caught our eye.
