Carnaby Street Style
Want to know which of our London Shopping Walks is for you? Here’s the style lowdown on Carnaby Street…
One of London’s most iconic shopping areas, Carnaby Street has been swinging since the 60s when Soho’s underground clubs played host to The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Small Faces. Hailed as the birthplace of the Mod fashion revolution and Mary Quant’s mini skirts, Carnaby Street’s rock ‘n’ roll vibe continues to this day, with the location chosen for Liam Gallagher’s fashion label, Pretty Green. Still the place to shop and socialise, in recent years Carnaby Street has become a hot spot for pop-up shops, so you’ll always find something new and exciting from some of the coolest casualwear brands around.
Our Carnaby Street Shopping Guide starts at the London landmark that is Liberty – renowned for their Arts & Crafts style floral prints. Then you’ll visit stores including Jack Wills, Diesel, MAC, Onitsuka Tiger and Lazy Oaf. Just look what there is to buy…
Jack Wills hoodie, £69; Diesel jeans £180; Liberty print sunglasses by Retrosuperfuture, £120; MAC lipsticks, from £13.50; Onitsuka Tiger high-top trainers; Lazy Oaf graphic t-shirts, £35.
