I've lived in England for 2 years, and I really enjoyed the fashion there.

For the most part British people are very trendy - and you will probably end up doing a ton of shopping while you live there. I wouldn't worry too much about not blending in, I think you'll probably avoid looking like a clueless tourist very easily!

One thing that looks touristy is a big North Face down or rain jacket. I suggest a nice wool coat for the winter - and always keep an umbrella on you at all times, even if it looks sunny.

Here are some shops in the UK, I also shopped at H&M quite a bit while I lived there as well:

I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.

H&M is an excellent suggestion. The clothing lines carried by the American and European stores are pretty much the same. I was in Glasgow last year end fall/beginning winter, and one thing you have to remember it it's FREEZING. Remember a warm coat, warm scarf, gloves, hat. Some really toasty boots for walking around. And the umbrella is a good idea.

Oh, you're going to love Glasgow. I totally fell in love when I was there. And it's not too fra from Edinborough, and that's a marvelous place as well. I'm so jealous! Please take a tour of Highlands for me. I didn't get a chance when I was there. And Stirling Castle is definitely worth seeing!

You should totally take a Haggis Tour so you can get a good feel for Scotland- I took the 3 day tour up to the Isle of Skye and it was so fun.

Thanks Alikat and gingembre! I will have to pack a lot of cozy clothing. And I will definitely be doing a lot of touring!
