No one loves a good Topshop find more than UK girls since the affordable retailer has a huge base there. So it's no wonder why its take on a '90s-style strappy sandal would be adorning the feet of women all across London.

Would it really be an It shoe roundup without a mention of By Far? No, not really. The accessories brand continues to be wildly popular among the fashion set, and London girls are favoring its Libra Cutout Mules above all.

If you had any doubt in your mind that this was the Zara buy of the summer, let Londoners persuade you even further. Strappy, white, and with a square toe, it doesn't get any more 2019 than these.

Fact: Classic white sneakers go with literally everything. While each city has its own favorite, the UK is flooded with Veja's sustainable pairs, thanks in part to Meghan Markle's stamp of approval.
