the look of london

While the London skies may be full of gloomy clouds, the streets are full of color and sartorial power. At London Fashion Week, the street style folks have schooled us how to transform a drab winter outfit to the next level. From rugged leather to pastel perfect wool coats, these well-dressed ladies have convinced us that there a way to stay warm while looking put together does exist. And if classic black is still your wardrobe savior, they have a way to amp that too; think of sleek black coats mixed with modern, white pieces or simple black pants paired with a textured sweater. Also spotted on the streets is the necessary dose of fun, wild prints on everything from jeans to jackets. 

You'll never have to worry about looking like plain Jane for the winter season again. Not only has London proven to have stunning

looks on the runway

, but awesome outfits on the streets as well.
