2012 Summer Olympics Fashion Inspiration: Street Style Spotlight on London

Posted by Alexandra | Thursday July 26, 2012

The 2012 Summer Olympics, taking place in London, England, are just one day away and even though I'm not exactly an avid sports watcher, I'm pretty pumped for them. It might just have more to do with the athlete eye candy than the medals (shh, don't tell anyone).

In honour of the Olympics, we thought we'd shine the street style spotlight on London. The U.K. has a history of having innovative brands and unique personal styles. When a country is the birthplace of both Topshop and Vivienne Westwood, you know they've got great taste. Here's a round up of some of our favourite looks from London, during this summer and fashion week.

Of course, who doesn't love a well dressed man?

Which of these looks is your favourite? Which one would you wear? And, will you be tuning into the Olympics this summer?

The coat just looks cozy and inviting!! I will be checking on the Olympics every now and then. I will be watching for Island sprinter Jared Connaughton who is headed to the Olympics in London . He is from Prince Edward Island and is a local boy who is an amazing athlete. So I will for sure be watching his races and roaring at the TV cheering him on. Good Luck Jared, bring some Gold home to PEI....
