If these things are in your winter wardrobe, then you’re the ultimate London uni student

London is considered one of the most fashionable cities in the world, and living in the capital can really influence your style, no matter how hard you try to fight it.

Here are some essential items in a London student’s wardrobe this winter, and if you have any of these styles in your campus outfit rotation then you’re the ultimate London university student.

A trench coat

This look is not only all over Pinterest, it is also everywhere you look in London. There is something quintessentially metropolitan about the trench coat. It makes you look instantly more put together and hides all fashion sins underneath.

If you have ever taken a stroll along the entrance to the King’s building, past the procession of smokers, you will see that this look is particularly popular with humanities students.

A statement scarf

If you’re rocking a fun coloured or patterned scarf this Winter then clearly you got the memo. This is a look you will see in all areas of London, and is a fun way to add a pop of colour to your campus outfits. Bonus points if it’s some sort of bright coloured tartan, which is particularly popular this year.

Knee high boots

Whilst a skirt and boots isn’t the warmest option in the harsh British climate, a pair of knee high boots is another wardrobe essential for the fashionable London student. Often paired with sheer tights and a wooly jumper, or a party dress if you’re going to a Christmas do, these shoes are timeless and scream winter in the capital.

Faux fur

Faux fur in any form is a London student essential. Much like the trench coat, a touch of faux fur can really elevate an outfit and has been a notable aspect of metropolitan fashion for years. If you’re wearing anything from a fluffy trim on your gloves to a full faux mink coat, then you’re right on trend this Winter.

Leather jacket

Much like the boots, a leather jacket isn’t the warmest option for your winter coat but there is no denying that they are all the rage on London university campuses. Typically paired with baggy jeans and the aforementioned ‘statement scarf.’  If this is your jacket of choice, you’ve definitely got the London look.

A pop of red

Burgundy, scarlet or crimson; red comes into style every winter. Lots of London students are embracing this, whether it’s a red jumper, scarf or a fun red lip or manicure. It is simultaneously fashionable and festive, and is a look that can go from the library to the pub seamlessly; ideal for the crossover of assignments season and Christmas.
