London Fashion Week is more than just runway shows and designer labels—it’s a living, breathing exhibition of personal style. This year, street style was on fire! We hit the streets and chatted with some seriously stylish attendees, and their love for fashion ran deep—like, deeper than the fabric itself.

When we asked how fashion makes them feel, the answer was unanimous: joyful and liberated. For many, it was all about self-expression. Stylist Danny summed it up perfectly: “Why are you getting mad over a piece of fabric?” His biggest ick? People feeling boxed into dressing based on gender norms. Fashion is fluid, and at London Fashion Week, the lines between masculine and feminine were blurred in the most exciting ways.

Another hot topic? The pressure to wear something new for every event. The concept of rewearing is gaining momentum, and honestly, it’s about time. Sustainability and self-expression go hand in hand. We’re seeing more and more people making an emotional connection to their clothes, and that connection just gets deeper every time they restyle a piece. Wearing your favorite jacket for the tenth time? That’s a flex.

All in all, this year’s London Fashion Week street style was a celebration of individuality, sustainability, and the emotional connection we have with our wardrobes. It’s clear that the fashion psychology community is growing stronger every day.
