For some, their personality naturally comes out in their clothing. I love that – it makes those people interesting. I’d far rather see someone with real flair and individuality than a slave to fashion – urgh.
Personality in your clothing

Cigarettes in his hat, tortoiseshell glasses, and a sharp suit.

Mia & Rosie
Mia and Rosie were the first people I ever approached in my capacity as ‘street style photographer’. I’d had a demoralising first session in central London, where I felt that people were rushing about so fast that it prohibited any form of human contact. So, I went up to Camden, thinking (quite rightly) that people hanging round there were likely not to be in so much of a rush, and that they were likely to be, in general, more open, friendly and, of course, possibly more quirky. Mia and Rosie were just lovely – super friendly and out to have a lot of fun. I’m sorry I didn’t get a better shot of them as this one doesn’t do them justice. But there you are, Mia and Rosie, Rosie and Mia. I’ll leave you to wonder which is the blonde and which the brunette. Mia, Rosie, if you’re out there – hi, and thanks! xx NT xx
Statement necklaces
Multiple necklaces piled over a buttoned up, short-sleeved shirt. Styling genius!
The White Rabbit
This dapper gentleman was walking so fast through Soho square that I barely managed to get a shot of him before he disappeared up onto Oxford Street. He immediately made me think of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland!
Summer styled chinos
Let’s face it, chinos are pretty boring and usually consigned to the ranks of off duty corporate types (male), worn with ‘boat shoes’ and some awful generic polo shirt. A uniform of sorts, but not an inspired one if you ask me. Now chinos on a girl can look a little bit, dare i say it… butch. So, in my opinion, you’ve just got to team them with something pretty. For me, high heels are pretty much a no go area (not that they’d go with chinos anyway), but platform sandals kind of work. I have to confess that I didn’t make this up (ahem, I’m not called Thief for nothing) – I first saw this look at a friend’s wedding (thank you, Eleanor Taylor). The something else pretty is beads. Oh, and take care to show your ankles and to keep the top half cropped / not too bulky. Tada! (Denim jacket from Burberry, beads from Mistral, chinos from Gap, sandals from M&S.)
This was the sunset that night – and the photo hasn’t been enhanced in any way. Beautiful, huh?
