From time immemorial, the English were famous for their elegance and in a certain way stiffness in appearance. It was not something fake, but a real distinctive feature of the English people. What kind of fashion was and carries the English style?
History of English Fashion
The famous Rococo style , which was so loved by the French, became completely unacceptable to strict Englishmen. All the burlesque and flashy brightness of the British preferred clothes made of cloth and wool.
Already in the 7th century they were able to perfect and bring into fashion a strict and elegant costume that was distinguished by neutral, restrained colors and a simple cut in comparison with French dresses.
Despite the fact that the English women's fashion still bore the echoes of French trends, practical ladies of the time still relied on convenience and comfort. Widespread use of the braids on skirts, which could be adjusted by simply pressing the elbows. At the same time, the dresses themselves were very simple, without decorative finishing. At home women often wore aprons over their dresses. Many women of fashion wore a homemade dress without fizzy, which was called negligee. As accessories, we used watches, a needle bar, an umbrella, a cane, a lorgnette.

English street fashion
Hardly there is a people in the world who can wear a strict gray suit during the whole working week, and at the weekend can safely shock the people around with their unusual bold look.
Individuality and courage - this is what allows the British to express their own self. They do not like to condemn the appearance of passers-by. This is expected from the rest.
One of the favorite accents in the modern English fashion is the shoes of rough leather with bright socks. In their images, everything is thought out, and there is nothing superfluous. Socks over pantyhose and denim shorts - so it is necessary. And it's stylish and individual. For sure, this image will balance the perfectly matched coat.
We can boldly note the fact that the British for all of their history have not succumbed to fashionable trends from outside. They did what they considered necessary, but not by any other fashion legislators.
