I have absolutely no idea what constitutes the 'average London 
teen'.  London, like most other western cities - and a fair few 
eastern ones too I would imagine - is one place where whatever you 
were wearing would pass without much of a second glance.  

On Saturdays throughout the year in main shopping streets of Glasgow 
(the city closest to where I live) there is street theatre of some 
sort going on - mostly buskers but dancers, jugglers, artists etc. 
Anyone wearing unconventional clothing is just assumed to be someone 
who likes to wear unconventional clothing.  

On the other hand, if wizard teens wished to join in any of the 
social rituals and ceremonies then they would need to be dressed in 
the appropriate 'uniform' or it would be commented upon.  (Going out 
clubbing, attending football matches etc.)
