London's Fashion Alphabet | U - Uniforms

London's Fashion Alphabet returns with the letter U. There were many options to consider for this popular letter, but in the end, the choice was a garment that has taken countless forms throughout London’s long history. Can you guess? No, not underwear (though we do have plenty of those)! It's uniforms! There are so many different types of uniforms in our collection, and in this latest instalment of our LFA series, curator of fashion, Dr. Lucie Whitmore, highlights a fascinating group of women’s uniforms from WWI and how these wartime wears influenced wider fashion trends of the day.
