Outfit for London day trip?

[ABE08xx]

Hi all,

I’m a plus sized girl (16 on bottoms and anything up to 24) on top and I’m starting to lose some weight. Ive also over the past 6 months been enjoying days out to London. Now I’m starting to lose weight I want to up my wardrobe and make myself look more stylish but comfy when I visit London.

I’m looking to go again in the next few weeks as well as nearer the warmer months. So my question is, what is your favourite/typical/ideal outfit for a London day trip and what shoes etc do you wear?

At the moment I’m thinking for the warmer months an oversized blazer, skinny jeans or skinny leg trousers and a nice top with brogues or loafers but I just need ideas as usually I wear my beat up old converse, jeans and a bloody rainmac with a hoody!

Please please throw your ideas at me, I need inspiration!!

Thank you so much xxx

Normal clothes with trainers. Nothing different to what I'd normally wear. It's only London!

I like this influencer, she has an understated, simple, cool, chic vibe - which to me a non-Londoner is very London. Hopefully the link works, but I particularly like this look brown trousers, with black turtle neck, and trainers. www.instagram.com/p/CZFSmgKMS9X/

When I visit London I do loads of walking, so my main priority with shoes is comfort - trainers, vans, or my trusted boots. I guess my advice here is to consider if your brogues or loafers will be comfortable for what you plan on doing. I personally prefer the look loafers to brogues.

I get that you want to wear something special but I don’t think there is a look that typifies London as the style here is so heterogenous. I agree that comfort is very important. You may carry a style off that suits you but would look crap on another person.

Thank you all!

I think the thing that has got me thinking this is because I go with a group of friends who all dress so stylish yet comfortable and just fit right in with the whole ‘vibe’ and I’m a bit bored of looking like a ‘slob’ or just throwing on leggings/jeans and a hoody because I’m big! I just want to put more put together I think is what im trying to go for if that makes sense!

I’ll definitely check out that influencer tho and see what ideas I can get from her!

Thank you so much all xx

What sort of thing do your friends where? Can you get ideas from their outfits?

They are all very much high waisted wide leg trousers with tiny little crop tops and blazers etc. I’ve tried a few outfits on based around what they wear and I just look ridiculous because they are all slim and it just doesn’t suit my body :(

How about a dress and trainers, like the outfits in this article?

Then you'll look individual and not as if you're trying to look like them.
