The reality is that if you want to keep up with what is hip and new, you should keep an eye out for some of the best up-and-coming and trending brands. Currently, some of the best trends in fashion are coming out of the United Kingdom, which shouldn’t surprise many fashion aficionados. So, let’s take a look at five brands that you should put on your list when it comes to keeping up with upcoming collections. You might be surprised at the large diversity present on this list it is important to understand that UK fashion is even bigger and contains many multitudes.
1- Hades
This brand’s creations might bring back a lot of memories to those who have been into fashion, especially from the UK for many decades at this point. One of the biggest creative endeavors of this company is, of course, their desire to bring back the old-fashioned punk ways of Britain in the 1980s. It is a profoundly UK brand that is taking everything it can from the punk scene homegrown in the aisles of the United Kingdom. It also has the great benefit of being mostly produced in Scotland and many UK factories once certain specific pieces are made in Spain. Bright colors in counterculture slogans are what you can expect from this brand.
2- Begg & Co
Every few decades or so, cashmere comes back into fashion, which shouldn’t be any surprise considering that it is one of the finest fabrics out there and offers unrivaled comfort. One of the great things about Scotland-made cashmere is that it is especially high-quality, thanks to the water purity used in the crafting process. The great thing with this company is that while the production of cashmere fabric closes a time-honored tradition around the United Kingdom, the brand maintains a very future-forward attitude that brings contemporary styles to this very traditional fabric as we see it coming back every decade or so it has become quite apparent that cashmere is not something that will ever go out of style.
3- MissAbaya
As the name suggests, MissAbaya sells Abayas. Many people outside the culture might think that the Islamic faith restricts your choice of apparel, but the reality, of course, is that, like any other culture, there are many great options out there for gorgeous style and modern takes on cultural clothes. Abayas, generally chosen for the great comfort they provide, is not only an essential addition to any Islamic clothing collection, but thanks to MissAbaya, they can make the perfect mix of colorful and modest clothes. With their many variants and the possibility to mix and match different pieces, you can create a very versatile wardrobe for everyday wear.
4- O Pioneers
A gorgeous vintage brand that offers collections of sustainable clothes inspired by the fashions of the prairies. Made out of very simple and reliable fabrics like cotton and poplin, this brand was founded in Camden Town by two great creative minds. This brand is not only trying to create simple and practical clothes that echo a more romantic era of British history, but it is also trying to do so in a very environmentally friendly way. This leads the brand to create unique pieces and collections that are sure to please anyone who takes a look at their drops. A lot of their looks are incredibly ethereal and offer a very natural look to those who are looking for more restrained fashion.
5- Pink City Prints
Pink City Prints is a brand that has been around for a few years now, as it was founded in 2018. One of the great things about this brand is, of course, its incredible inspiration taken from some of the most traditional techniques from north India. If you know anything about Indian fashion, especially its more traditional iteration, you have heard of block printing. The founder, Molly Russell, learned a lot after her time living in India and decided to create a brand that not only incorporates a lot of these Indian techniques but also a more British approach to fashion. The results, of course, are incredibly unique and celebrate many aspects of British culture and those who have created modern British culture as a whole.
