Today I am here to share with you some of the best tips on how to dress like a real Londoner. Do you love England? Want to learn English? Come and see what others are saying the best way to dress – and live – like an Englishwoman. Here we talk about the top ways that Englishwomen do their hair, wear their clothes, protect themselves from pollution, take care of their health, avoid conflict and enjoy life.
It’s one thing to look like a Londoner-it’s another to be seen as one. With the capital set on being the best city in the world, it’s pretty important to know how to dress for success. Here are four ways of looking, and feeling, like a Londoner no matter where you are around the world.
1) Be seen wearing what gets you noticed.
The saying “dressing for the job you want not the one you have” is especially true in London, where you can start to develop a reputation with just one look. From your head to your feet, everything counts when it comes to the way you dress.
2) Show some skin.
In an effort to control this somewhat chaotic city, locals have learned that it’s all about keeping people guessing when it comes to their outfits. That means never be boring and always showing a little something unexpected in your outfit-the best way of doing this in London is by showing some skin and not being afraid of colour.
3) Know your finishing touches.
In a city where you have to be dressed from head to toe in order to feel safe, there’s no excuse for being not put together. From shoes on down, add a touch of style with some great accessories or add a belt on your waist-it’s all about making the perfect outfit effortless every time.
4) Dress according to the occasion.
Once you learn the different seasons and the right clothes for each of them, it really becomes a snap. And when it’s time for an unforgettable evening out on London’s streets, that means pulling out some of your best accessories and tops for a fun night out with friends.
Easy Ways to Dress Like a Londoner
1. Englishwomen wear button-down shirts. They are simply more flattering and comfortable. You can wear them for business or for casual events and they will never go out of style. Buy a few and use them on a regular basis. Make sure you match the color of the buttons to the colors of your scarf or belt so that they stand out and give your outfit some pizzazz!
2. Bring your own accessories. That’s right, bring your own. A small and simple bag for your lipstick, wallet, keys, and cell phone is enough. You’ll never need to spend more than a few minutes looking for anything again!
3. Wear perfume that you like the smell of when not wearing it. This will help you find the right scent without having to stick something in a purse every day or two.
When using “fashionable” in a general sense, it is fairly difficult to come up with an example of someone who has been praised for looking good. I’m Londoner and I never got a chance to study fashion in my life! So this is a question I’m always asked. I think Londoners dress like they want to attract attention, symbolically say ‘I’m here and know what I want!’ But at the same time, it can be very casual as well.
Take a look at these pics and tell me if you think they are all wearing the same kind of clothes. For example, you can see women wearing jackets and trousers, but I’m sure you know someone who wears the same thing every day. Another point is that we are all wearing different shoes and they say something about us too. I don’t like conversing with people on the street, but if you give me a chance to tell you what my shoes say, then I will be happy to answer your question!
A real English lady must have a dress sense, a sense of style and be able to look elegant no matter what. In London there are many events you can go to where you need to be fashionable – from the theatre, the opera, even to a party with your friends at home.
In order not to make mistakes when you reach for your wardrobe, please check if the following information will help you achieve this goal:
1. Do not choose too short skirts or dresses – they can look very tacky and sometimes people make fun of them. Always remember that if your skirt is too short people will definitely stare at it and it is not necessarily always nice. Remember that longer skirts make women look more feminine and elegant.
2. Choose a pair of high heels that are not too large or too small. If you wear a small heel it is good that they are good quality and you can increase their size with sandals (not with strappy sandals). Don’t waste your time trying to find the perfect pair of high heels – try on different kinds of high heels – some will be hard, others will be easy to walk in, but remember – do not choose them too small, because it is better for you if they are comfortable (especially if they are very full-heeled).
3. Always carry around spare heels! I would say carry about three pairs at least. If you are wearing black dress them with nude heels. However, this is only for formal occasions – you must wear black or other dark colors to look elegant.
4. If you want to look elegant, always carry a pair of flats with high heels inside! You should never think about how comfortable it is to walk in high heels – this will not give off the right image of an English aristocrat.
I live in Canary Wharf and work in the City of London during weekdays. I usually wear ‘business suits’ but the only difference between me and other ‘businessmen’ is that I don’t wear a shirt. I also wear my suit on weekends, not just on weekdays. When I was younger, I used to spend all weekend in my suit, only changing into jeans before going out to town or going for dinner with friends. I don’t want to look like everybody else, but I do want people to remember me.
I’m not a big fan of bow ties, but they do have their place in my wardrobe for special occasions and I can see myself wearing them on a few occasions in the near future. I don’t really consider myself to be fashionable, but people think that because I wear nice shoes and suits and proper clothes.
I am well dressed when I go to work, but the rest of the time I like to be relatively comfortable. Most of the time I wear trainers, but I have to admit that I do have a few nice pairs of shoes as well.
When it comes to my ‘party’ style, I’m not sure what people really mean by this, but it is how you see your clothes on the inside. It’s all about inner confidence and personality! I think everyone has a different definition of what that is! We all want to be ourselves and express who we are, not who others want us to be or make us feel inferior.
I usually wear my jeans on Friday and Saturday night, pretty much because I’m not going anywhere! I’m not a big fan of jeans, but they are comfortable.
The thing is that I like buying clothes that are different from what other people wear. If you ask me why I’d say it’s because of my personality and because I like ‘being me’! Sometimes I buy clothes just for the fun of them. I think everyone should do that sometimes, to see what happens next, you never know where it might lead.
I think people are more cautious about how they dress now in London than they were ten or fifteen years ago. I think the people of London are very proud of their city and its fashion styles.
