We're mad about plaid, and so are the ladies of London. (After all, London is where the Burberry fashion brand — known worldwide for its signature plaid pattern, as pictured here, was founded). Here's a London-inspired street style look that would look super chic in any city. A coat in colorful plaid (whether it's real Burberry or faux) is an effortless way to dress up a basic jeans and tee-shirt outfit. This is a great look to pull yourself together quickly in the morning, during transitional seasons

Fashion magic sometimes happens when two things that might not seem to go together, are thrown into the same outfit mix. Here, fashion blogger Anisa Sojka blew everyone's minds during a recent London Fashion Week when she matched a luxurious, ladylike leopard print coat and boots with youthful, ultra-shreddedjeans. Bridging the gap is a Givenchy bag in a fresh color. The overall effect, in American-speak, is upper east side meets lower west side — and totally cool.

What's one sure-fire way to instantly upgrade a pair of distressed jeans and a black sweater? Mix them with high-end designer accessories, as patron of the British Fashion Council Michelle Jen Yeoh did, when she wore her AG Jeans with Christian Louboutin shoes, Dolce and Gabbana bag and Fendi sunglasses. We can't all play at this price point, but we can respect the game.

Stylish women from Kate Middleton to Cameron Diaz rely on the figure flattering silhouette of a tailored blazer over skinny jeans. Here, London-based fashion blogger Peony Lim strikes a pose in a sharply-cut navy jacket, white tee-shirt and skinnies worn with black ankle boots. For the same effect, shop for a navy or black blazer that fits perfectly at the shoulders and nips in at the natural waist to highlight your torso's slimmest point. A jacket that falls just below the hip bones will provide great coverage for hips, too.

During the cooler months, when you need a topper for your outfit, you can't go wrong layering a soft, wrap-style coat over your jeans. This is a great way to add style to a go-to pair of cuffed, straight leg jeans, as fashion blogger Natalia Georgala shows here, no matter what else you're wearing. We won't lie though, we covet her Emilio Pucci bag.

Here's how trendy ultra-distressed jeans are being worn stylishly on the streets of London, England.

A knit cap adds warmth when the temperature dips, while old school sneakers keep this outfit comfortable and chill (in a good way).

Sometimes, a woman is smart to stick with the basics. Fashion editors — and real women everywhere — love the classic fashion combination of slim black jeans and a camel overcoatfor colder seasons, as pictured here on Glamour UK Beauty Director Alessandra Steinheer. Straight leg jeans, such as these by retailer H&M, fit easily over trendy wedge ankle boots. Steinheer smartly matches her top to her pants, creating a column of black that creates a slimming effect under the lighter coat.

Model and DJ Lady Mary Charteris was captured in this stylish, layered look in London recently. Take a look at how she smartly layers belted, slim grey jeans with a tee-shirt and cardigan in similar shades, then pulls the whole outfit together with a classic moto jacket. The genius idea here is the long, printed scarf worn underneath the sweater, so it flows out unexpectedly, adding graphic interest and femininity to an otherwise tough look.

We couldn't continue with our London street style retrospective without taking a closer look at this Hermes bag. Most stylish European women live by the code that high-quality accessories elevate even the most inexpensive fast fashion clothes.

We're mad about this fresh take on ethical faux fur styled by off-duty supermodel Sam Rollison. The runway walker was snapped on the streets of London wearing printed jeans by Rag and Bone, topped with a lush faux mink jacket. The bright pop of color in her purse is a genius way to brighten an otherwise sombre color palette. Biker boots look great with this ensemble, but you could also wear it with leg-lengthening high heels.

Not everyone can wear more than one major fashion trend at once. Model Gizel Oliveira was snapped recently in London working it in trendy high waisted jeans, a fringed leather jacket and top with sheer panel. While we're not necessarily recommending that you follow her lead, it's hard not to find her confidence inspiring.
