Why I love London style

Recently, I've been spending a lot of time in London - the buzzing capital of England and the home of politics, banking and, of course, fashion. 

From Covent Garden to Vauxhall, Oxford Street to Pimlico, I have been travelling around a fair bit. And, in doing so, have been amazed at just the number of creative people there are when it comes to what to wear.

Now, of course, that's not everyone. It's excluding the people who simply wear suits on the way to work, or those who aren't interested in fashion/dressing well (guy on the tube wearing last week's trousers and a Star Wars t-shirt, I'm talking to you).

But for the good percentage of people who are - typically in the demographic of 18-30 - fashion is clearly something important.

My favourite outfits spotted so far have been one girl who wore block heels, printed culottes (like the ones below) and a white crop top . Another stole the show at Picadilly Circus, if you don't mind the pun, wearing a yellow wide-leg jump suit.

But there have also been those who depart from current trends, wearing clashing colours/prints or night wear during the day. And good on them! Sometimes, we need to break boundaries and so called fashion 'conventions'. We need to dress how we want to dress, not how we should. And that's why I love London.

People don't judge - it's become 'normal' to dress a bit crazy in the city. Wearing neon leggings is perfectly fine. Black lipstick is the new red.

And you know what? People seem perfectly happy wearing what they want. Forget feeling insecure - London is the home of  not only fashion but confidence too.
