Check Out The Best Streetstyle at London Fashion Week AW18

Tactical outerwear meets casual tailoring in a post-modern style mix for AW18

Home to some of the most experimental and subversive design aesthetics seen each season, London is famed for it’s rebellious counter-culture contribution to the global style zeitgeist.

Steeped in a rich heritage of influential subcultures, and the exhibition space of favour among fashion’s most promising emerging voices including Liam Hodges, Wood Wood, and Astrid Andersen, London Fashion Week remains a paragon of inner-city grit where the finest new Balenciaga sneakers pound the litter-strewn pavements with the masses as they move from show to show.

Unveiling their AW18 collections at a range of on and off-schedule events in central London, an inner sanctum of promising newcomers and industry stalwarts delivered their vision of style for the latter half of 2018. With an unsurprising lean towards high-specification streetwear, London's collections reiterated once more the all-but non-existent divide between traditional 'high fashion' and luxury streetwear.

Following on from his coverage at NYFW, UrlfreezeShops's photo-correspondant Robert Spangle captured some of the best style from outside the presentations.

Loose fitting printed shirts emerge as the essential casualwear staple adding a devil-may-care spin to classic men's style codes.
Japanese-American workwear continues to hold water in the style stakes, with militaristic design cues sitting in harmony with urban staples.
