LFW Style You Can Wear Right Now

London Fashion Week 2025 is nearly here, and as always, the city is buzzing with anticipation. Fashion editors, stylists, influencers and designers will all be out in force, eager to see what the runways have in store for Spring/Summer 2026. But here at Shush London, we know that while it’s exciting to peek at what’s next, our customers are firmly rooted in the here and now – and right now it’s all about Autumn/Winter dressing.

So how do we bridge that gap between what’s about to walk the runway and what we’re actually pulling out of our wardrobes this season? Simple: by taking inspiration from the upcoming shows and translating those themes into wearable, cold-weather fashion. With our carefully curated preloved designer edit, it’s easier than you think to nod to the future while staying warm, stylish, and sustainable in the present.

Why London Fashion Week Still Matters Right Now

Even though the shows focus on collections for next spring and summer, the influence of London Fashion Week is immediate. Designers set the mood, shape colour palettes, and hint at silhouettes that filter quickly into the current season. From the accessories everyone will want, to the fabrics and styling tricks that pop up on the high street, the runway has a way of trickling into our wardrobes sooner than you’d expect.

For us, that means taking those key looks forecasted for S/S and working them into our A/W dressing – whether through colour, texture, or styling choices. Luckily, preloved fashion is perfectly positioned for this. Shush customers know the joy of finding a one-off piece that feels ahead of the curve, without waiting for six months of trickle-down trends.

Key Spring/Summer Runway Trends – And How To Wear Them This Autumn/Winter

We’ve had a sneak peek at what’s tipped for Spring/Summer 2026, and it’s a feast of fresh ideas. But don’t be fooled – many of these looks can be cleverly reimagined for cooler weather. Here’s our take on what’s coming, and how to wear it now.

1. Bold Colour Pops

From vibrant fuchsia and cobalt to citrus shades, the runways are awash with energy. The trick for A/W is to let colour pop against neutral layers. Think a bright coat that lifts grey winter skies, or a jewel-toned knit tucked under a classic trench. At Shush we’ve spotted designer bags in eye-catching tones – the perfect way to try the trend without committing head-to-toe.

2. Sheer and Layered

Designers are championing transparency for S/S, with floaty organza and tulle making waves. For A/W, sheer is all about layering: a delicate blouse under a structured blazer, or a slip dress styled over opaque tights. Play with textures – chiffon with wool, silk with tweed – and the result feels modern but wearable.

3. Sculptural Accessories

Big, bold, architectural jewellery and handbags are making their mark. This is one trend you can adopt instantly, whether it’s a statement cuff worn over a cashmere sleeve or a striking clutch tucked under your arm for evening. Preloved means you’ll find pieces that aren’t everywhere else – a detail that makes your outfit feel instantly runway-ready.

4. Tailoring With A Twist

Sharp suiting never really leaves the stage, but this season it’s getting playful – unexpected cuts, cropped jackets, oversized proportions. For A/W, tailored coats and blazers bring polish to cosy knits and wide-leg trousers. It’s about mixing comfort with structure, and preloved tailoring often delivers craftsmanship that modern fast fashion can’t touch.

Autumn/Winter Staples That Always Work

Alongside these trend-led ideas, there are some Autumn/Winter heroes that never lose their power. They’re the backbone of a stylish cold-weather wardrobe – pieces that feel luxurious, look effortless, and keep you warm while doing it.

Outerwear: Whether you’re drawn to a trench, an oversized wool coat, or a shearling jacket, outerwear is the ultimate investment piece.
Luxe Layers: Cashmere jumpers, chunky knits, silk camisoles for layering – these add depth and warmth.
Evening Drama: Sequins and metallics are never far from view as party season approaches. A statement dress or sparkling bag feels instantly festive.
Boots: Knee-highs, ankle boots, heeled or flat – they’re versatile and enduring. A quality preloved pair lasts for years.

These classics become the canvas on which you can layer trend-driven touches, whether that’s bold colour, sheer textures, or statement jewellery.

Why Preloved Fashion Is Ahead of the Curve

Here’s a little secret: shopping preloved often means you’re a step ahead of everyone else. Trends are cyclical – what’s about to hit the runway has often been done before, just reimagined. That makes vintage and preloved pieces the smart way to embrace the look without waiting.

At Shush London, we carefully source designer clothing and accessories that feel relevant and fresh. You’ll find timeless tailoring that suddenly feels of-the-moment again, or a handbag shape that echoes next season’s must-have. The beauty is that these pieces have already stood the test of time – proving their quality and design value - while being unique enough to make your outfit stand out.

And let’s not forget the sustainability factor. Fashion weeks often spark conversations about waste and overproduction in the industry. By choosing preloved, you’re making a conscious choice to reduce fashion’s footprint while still enjoying the thrill of runway-inspired style.

Styling Inspiration: Runway to Real Life

Need some inspiration to tie it all together? Here’s how we’d style LFW trends right now, the Shush way:

Pair a vintage shearling coat with a bold coloured knit and classic denim. Add sculptural earrings for a runway edge.
Take a tailored blazer in soft wool and layer it over a sheer blouse. Finish with wide-leg trousers and ankle boots.
For evening, a sequinned mini dress styled with opaque tights and a sharp trench gives you both sparkle and structure.
Accessorise a cosy jumper-and-jeans combo with an architectural preloved bag – effortless but striking.

Bringing It Back To You

At the end of the day, London Fashion Week is about dreaming of what’s next. But fashion is most exciting when it’s lived – when it’s pulled out of the wardrobe on a chilly morning and styled in a way that feels personal, fresh, and confident. That’s what Shush London is here for.

We love helping you find preloved treasures that bridge past, present and future. Whether it’s a designer coat that suddenly feels so now, or a statement handbag that lights up an outfit, our edit is packed with Autumn/Winter fashion you’ll actually want to wear.
