British street style

British street style
Fanny Ghis, 27, owns a designer showroom
I try to make everything I wear interesting. I only wear things once or twice. I would never wear anything cheap, unless I thought it was funny

Samuel Bazeley, 21, student
I’d describe my style as European and I try to buy all my clothes in Europe, especially Italy. I’m originally from Fiji but I like the European vibe. This is a Daks jacket, a leather bag from Florence and some leather boots

Suzy Solley, 21, student
Right now, I am quite into the 80s vibe, and cheap clothes but with a bit of quality; so I buy a lot from charity stores. Today, boots were necessary for the cold, and the Topshop denim-look leggings are much warmer than proper jeans

Mara Dougall, 23, arts administrator
I’m from Oban, a small town, and I like the idea of mixing the country look with new pieces. Today, I have a jumper on, my favourite tartan wellies, and I thought my coat was a great colour to contrast with my hair

Josie Smith, 26, model and DJ
I would say my style is Malibu Barbie meets All Saints. I love a bit of colour, a bit of tailoring and some drama. Today I’ve gone for Miu Miu pumps, a dress my mum made from a Vogue pattern, a coat from a London boutique and my bag is from the local post office

Stephanie Messiou, 50, receptionist
I love glamour and the film-star look, so I wear furs and sequins. I’m a bit over the top, but I think I can get away with it

Asir Mohamed, 40, menswear buyer
My look changes a lot – I have skinny jeans, or baggy ones. But I wear sunglasses every day. It started because I thought they were cool, now it’s something I’m known for. I have about 50 pairs. My shoes are Italian pilot’s boots

Laura Anns, 22, hair stylist
I live in Bromley, which can be a bit clone-like, but I work in Soho in quite a cool salon where everyone has their own style. I like clean lines and in the day I like to be comfortable. At night I will put on heels and be more glam

Max Karie, 39, creative director
I like mixing old-fashioned pieces with modern ones and I’m quite taken by things you are not supposed to like. I’m interested in the post-punk period when you had Sloane rangers. So, I’m wearing Gucci loafers, clashing red socks and a Barbour jacket

British street style
Alice Bodgener, 20, student
I try not to wear anything that was made since the 50s but today I am afraid to say I am sporting a Primark cloche hat my boyfriend bought me, some very old New Look shoes, and a 1970s velvet coat. I love my clothes to have a bit of history

Angela Alsemgeest, 30, account manager
I try to look stylish and I would love to be more funky, but I work in the property industry. I have to wear suits or skirts but I always try to bring some colour in or wear one thing that is a bit different. Today, it is my snakeskin-print skirt

Emily Devine, 32, artist
I don’t always do the full “matchy- matchy” Paris Hilton look, but I thought it was such a cold, dull day I had to add some colour. My style is eclectic. My hat is from the high street, my coat is borrowed from my sister, my bag is from eBay and my shoes from a market

British street style
Michael Jones, 26, hair stylist
My boots are from Alessandro Dell’Acqua and I bought them in New York. My coat is from Raf Simons. But my favourite thing I’m wearing is my jumper – my mum knitted it for me with pure New Zealand wool.
