Get that white shirt in your wardrobe and put it to good use by pairing it with a cardigan or sweater, black skinnies, and a pair of Doc Martens boots. For a more girly offering, style with a sheer maxi skirt or throw the shirt over a flirty dress and finish off with pumps or boots, depending on the weather.

Another outfit to consider is a polished coat that speaks to the tailoring heritage the city is famous for. You can rock a tank top with straight-cut jeans and layer with a coat for an elevated casual fit. Otherwise, style a mini dress with sneakers and finish off with your coat. For a star effect, leave the coat unfastened or cinch it at your waist with a belt for dimension.
#3. Denim skirt

A denim skirt is another piece of clothing you can wear in London that delivers effortlessly. Try a midi denim skirt with a center slit paired with a graphic tee. Although simple, this look is far from boring. You can also ditch the tee for a camisole worn underneath a leather jacket for an edgy take. Whether styled with sneakers, boots, or mules, this coordination will serve you well.
#4. White and black
