What the protesters lacked in substance they made up for in style. You'll notice in the next few photos that it's all about the accessories - scarves and hats especially. And there was no shying away from color!
Layers are essential for London protest activity and some type of khaki-colored, army jacket is preferred.
I love the photo below - somewhat reminiscent of My Fair Lady (minus the Consumers Suck banner). Newsboy caps are back!

haha Fashion at a protest- That's absolutely awesome. Just because they're expressing dissent towards things doesn't mean they can't look stylish doing it!
Wow! What a great post! Haha! That is so cool!
I love your blog! You guys are awesome!
Right you are Emz!
Thanks for stopping by, Amanda!
Love the kettle in the third picture. Genius.
First time posting a comment, but have been a fan of the blog for a while! Thanks for representing the South in the world wide web of blogging! I recently started up my own project and would love to have you guys check it out. <3
This must have been what Thoreau had in mind for civil disobedience...polka dots and tea
ps consumers suck
these are fantastic photos--look at all the color pops!
Chain Saw, thanks for reading! We'll totally link you :).
Greenjeans, you're totally spot on - no pun intended.
Tanya - exactly! That's why I had to post them!
Of course protesters would have more interesting style.
I love that you see protest pictures, and our immedietly struck by the fashion. (don't worry, I was too;) )

Hi there-yes, what a day that was-I do agree though, they did have a style presence!!
Hi gals-I've tagged you, see my post for details!!
Protest in style! That would make such a great fashion editorial methinks. xxoxoxo
protest with style is brilliant!
they sure are colorful bunch....
Love it. When I think protesters, I don't immediately think "chic." But if you think about it-- certain modes of dress, subcultures, etc. have been a way to protest status quo dressing and in the UK especially, this alternative style of dress had heavy socieconomic implications. Thanks for posting these. Really inspiring!
Clever post!
these are great images
lol!
this is so cool!
they are still stylish!
They're the coolest protesters I've ever seen. LOL.
That is so "My Fair Lady" in the next to last photo! There was a protest against the G2O Summit when I was in junior high in Washington state--that one turned violent and people ransacked shops in downtown Seattle! Sometimes protesters "suck" (to use their descriptive language...).
amazing outfits! i love the redpolka dots skirt!
