What to Wear in London in November: 15 Outfit Ideas
London in November is all about smart layers, comfortable walking shoes, and a polished outfit that can handle cool air and possible rain.
Pack a practical coat, compact umbrella, knitwear, trousers or jeans, and shoes with good grip for damp streets.
Black, navy, grey, camel, cream, and brown are easy colors for a London wardrobe, while burgundy, forest green, and plaid add autumn character.
These fifteen outfit ideas are designed for stylish, practical travel throughout November. Each one balances warmth, comfort, and classic London polish for sightseeing, shopping, cafés, and evening plans.
1. Trench Coat With Jeans and Ankle Boots
A classic trench coat is a useful London layer for November, especially over dark jeans, a fitted knit, and ankle boots. Add a compact umbrella and crossbody bag to stay prepared for changing weather.
Choose water-resistant boots with comfortable soles for walking. This outfit feels timeless and practical for museums, markets, cafés, and neighborhood sightseeing.
2. Black Coat With a Grey Knit Dress
Wear a grey knit midi dress with a black wool coat and knee-high boots for a chic November outfit. Add tights for warmth and a structured handbag for a polished finish.
The soft knit makes the dress comfortable enough for daytime, while the boots and coat elevate it for dinner. This look suits museums, afternoon tea, or evening plans.
3. Camel Blazer With Black Trousers
A camel blazer over a black turtleneck and black trousers creates an elegant London outfit that works from daytime to dinner. Add loafers or ankle boots, plus a longer coat for outdoor warmth.
This combination feels classic rather than overly trendy and is easy to repeat with different tops. It works beautifully for shopping, galleries, and restaurants.
4. Long Cardigan With a Plaid Midi Skirt
Pair a long cardigan with a plaid midi skirt, fitted top, tights, and ankle boots for a cozy autumn look. Choose plaid in grey, black, burgundy, or brown to keep it seasonal.
A tailored wool coat layers easily over the outfit. This combination feels perfect for a bookstore, café, museum, or a relaxed day exploring London neighborhoods.
5. Puffer Jacket With Leggings and Sneakers
For a casual sightseeing day, wear a lightweight puffer jacket with black leggings, a longer fitted top, and supportive sneakers. Add a scarf and small backpack or crossbody bag for essentials.
This outfit is practical for long walks, markets, and travel days. Choose a neutral puffer that you can layer over several outfits throughout your November trip.
6. Leather Jacket With a Satin Midi Skirt
A leather jacket worn with a satin midi skirt creates a stylish contrast of textures. Add a fitted black knit, opaque tights, and ankle boots to make the outfit more suitable for November.
Burgundy, olive, navy, and black skirts all work beautifully. This look is a great choice for dinner, drinks, concerts, or an evening in Soho.
7. Chunky Sweater With Wide-Leg Trousers
Pair a chunky knit sweater with wide-leg black, grey, or brown trousers for a comfortable, polished outfit. Add ankle boots or loafers, then layer a long coat on top when heading outdoors.
A partial tuck can add shape if you like it, but leaving the sweater relaxed also looks stylish. This outfit suits museums, lunch, and shopping days.
8. Monochrome Black Outfit With a Long Coat
Create a sleek London look with black jeans or trousers, a black knit top, and a long black coat. Add ankle boots and a structured bag, then use gold jewelry or a printed scarf for contrast.
A monochrome base makes packing easier and always looks polished. This is perfect for a dinner reservation, city photos, or a busy sightseeing day.
9. Denim Midi Skirt With a Turtleneck
A denim midi skirt paired with a fitted turtleneck is a practical, feminine November outfit. Add opaque tights, ankle boots, and a trench or wool coat for warmth.
Choose a darker wash skirt for a more polished feel. This look works well for lunch, museums, markets, and casual dinners while still being comfortable for plenty of walking.
10. Grey Sweater With Black Jeans
A soft grey sweater and black straight-leg jeans make one of the easiest London outfits for November. Add Chelsea boots, a neutral coat, and a crossbody bag for a classic finish.
A lightweight scarf adds extra warmth without making the outfit bulky. This is a reliable option for travel days, casual cafés, shopping, and everyday city exploring.
11. Shirt Dress With a Belted Coat
Wear a long-sleeve shirt dress with tights, knee-high boots, and a belted coat for a polished fall outfit. Choose a dress in navy, black, brown, or a small print, then add a neutral scarf.
The coat gives the outfit shape and warmth outdoors. This combination works nicely for afternoon tea, dinner, or more dressed-up sightseeing plans.
12. Shacket With Jeans and Combat Boots
A plaid or neutral shacket layered over a fitted tee, black jeans, and combat boots creates a casual but stylish London look. Add a long coat over it if the weather is especially cold.
Choose black, brown, grey, or olive tones for the most versatility. This outfit is comfortable for markets, casual lunch, and relaxed neighborhood walks.
13. Cream Sweater With a Pleated Skirt
Pair a cream sweater with a dark pleated midi skirt for a soft, polished November outfit.
Add tights, ankle boots, and a long camel or black coat for outdoor warmth. Burgundy, black, forest green, and navy skirts look especially good with cream. This outfit feels feminine and practical for cafés, museums, dinner, or a special daytime plan.
14. Navy Coat With Dark Jeans
A navy coat over dark jeans, a striped top, and ankle boots creates a classic, understated London look. Add a crossbody bag and a compact umbrella for practicality.
The navy-and-stripe combination feels timeless and photographs well without looking overly styled. This outfit is ideal for sightseeing, visiting galleries, riding the Tube, or a relaxed lunch in the city.
15. Burgundy Knit With a Black Midi Skirt
A burgundy knit sweater and black midi skirt create a rich, autumnal outfit for November. Add opaque tights, knee-high boots, and a tailored black or camel coat.
This combination feels elegant enough for dinner but comfortable enough for a long afternoon in the city. Keep jewelry simple and carry a small structured bag to complete the polished look.
