London Fashion Week: Re-emerging Trends!

London Fashion Week (LFW) has long been a platform for showcasing cutting-edge fashion, launching new trends, and celebrating the creativity of both established and emerging designers. But amidst the buzz of fresh collections and avant-garde designs, there’s a comforting presence of familiar trends that make their way back to the catwalk, season after season. From oversized jackets to tulle embellishments, checks, and playful charms, these staples continue to captivate designers and fashion enthusiasts alike.

As a luxury preloved fashion brand, we at Shush London have curated a selection of these enduring trends, offering you timeless pieces that can fit seamlessly into your wardrobe, without the hefty price tag of new items. But first, let's take a look at the history of LFW and why these trends keep coming back year after year.

A Brief History of London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week began in 1984, making its mark on the global fashion calendar. Initially overshadowed by the grander fashion weeks of Paris and Milan, LFW has steadily grown to be one of the most influential events in the fashion world. Known for its emphasis on creativity, LFW has launched the careers of countless designers like Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, and Stella McCartney. Unlike the more classic approach seen in Paris, or the opulence of Milan, London celebrates boldness, innovation, and a certain rebellious spirit that gives it a unique edge.

Over the decades, as trends have evolved, some iconic styles have found their way back to the runway time and time again, reflecting not just a love for fashion history but also a nod to sustainability and timeless design. These trends have become synonymous with the London fashion scene, and here at Shush London, we’re excited to bring you curated preloved pieces that reflect these timeless looks.

Oversized Jackets: Relaxed, Effortless Cool

Oversized jackets are a perennial favourite on the LFW runways, and for good reason - they’re versatile, comfortable, and effortlessly chic. This season, the fashion set embraced the laid-back approach to outerwear, with barn jackets, slouchy styles, and lightweight layers like cardi jackets and parkas becoming go-to pieces. These oversized silhouettes are perfect for creating a relaxed yet stylish vibe, whether you’re layering them over casual outfits or using them to tone down a more formal look.

At Shush London, we’ve carefully curated a selection of oversized jackets that capture this trend. Whether you’re looking for a slouchy jacket to throw over jeans or a more structured parka for those unpredictable autumn days, our preloved collection ensures that you can stay on-trend without sacrificing comfort - or your budget. An oversized jacket from a top luxury designer is not just a piece for this season, but a style investment that will see you through years to come.

Tulle, Ruffles, and Volume: A Regency-Inspired Revival

If there’s one thing London Fashion Week reminds us, it’s that fashion is about more than just clothes - it’s about drama, creativity, and expression. Enter the tulle, ruffles, and volume trend, a Regency-inspired approach that adds a touch of opulence and whimsy to modern-day fashion. Whether layered with frills upon frills or styled with contrasting fabrics, these dramatic pieces serve as a reminder that anyone can dazzle - you don’t need to be walking the runway to stand out.

This season, we’ve seen designers craft decadent ensembles that echo the grandeur of period dramas like Bridgerton. At Shush London, we’ve embraced this approach with our selection of preloved tulle dresses and ruffled tops, perfect for those who love to make a statement. These pieces offer volume and elegance, but are also versatile enough to work for both day and night looks. Whether you’re attending a special event or simply want to inject some drama into your wardrobe, tulle and ruffles are a trend that shows no sign of fading.

Check-Mate: The Return of Checks and Tartan

Checks have long been a favourite on the runways, but London Fashion Week has a special love affair with this classic pattern. Perhaps it’s the influence of Burberry, whose iconic check print is synonymous with British fashion, or maybe it’s the timeless appeal of tartan and plaid that makes this trend so enduring. Either way, checks are back in full force, with designers showcasing everything from tapered jackets and scarves to trousers, bags, and shirts adorned in this heritage print.

At Shush London, we’ve noticed that our preloved check pieces fly off the shelves - and it’s no wonder. Whether you’re drawn to the structured elegance of a checked blazer or the cosy appeal of a tartan scarf, this trend is a winter staple that never goes out of style. And let’s be honest, it’s hard to think of a more British look than a Burberry-inspired check jacket on a crisp autumn day.

Charms: Adding a Playful Twist to Luxury

One of the more lighthearted trends we’ve seen re-emerge at London Fashion Week is the use of charms. These quirky accessories bring a playful, less serious vibe to designer pieces, making them more wearable and fun. This season, the bag-charm trend has woven its way through fashion crowds, with cute and colourful trinkets dangling from the arms of those lucky enough to own the latest designer bags.

But charms don’t stop at bags—they’ve extended into necklaces, bracelets, and even clothing embellishments. At Shush London, we love how these accessories encapsulate the carefree, fun-loving energy of London’s style set. If you’re looking to add a pop of personality to your luxury preloved bags or want to experiment with charm necklaces and bracelets, we’ve got just the pieces to help you nail this playful trend.

Why Re-Emerging Trends Matter
