Wednesday I spent in London.

Plenty of showers, which didn’t appear to bother the locals.

The dominating business style continues to be a navy blue or charcoal suit, white shirt, and black shoes. Many blue and red ties too, though some shirts with unbuttoned top button.

Old England is still there.

On the other hand, I got the impression that the Italian fashion industry and tailoring have made a sort of impact. Numerous tailors carry Italian fabrics, made-to-measure and ready-to-wear will often come from Italy, lightweight constructions and brown leather shoes are popular, and Italian accessories like summer scarves are seen on the street.

A new England has arrived too.
