Copenhagen Fashion Week: the Scandi street style we’re obsessed with
By Helen Atkin

Where better to find wardrobe inspiration than from the best dressed women in fashion?
Much fuss is made about New York, London, Milan and Paris, but Copenhagen Fashion Week has always been one of the world’s lesser known fashion events. Until now, that is.
Copenhagen has slowly but surely made its mark on the fashion world, and not just for its catwalks: the street style outside the shows is impeccable, too. At the big four, peacocks strut their stuff in the most outrageous looks they can find. The Scandi set’s laidback style, however, is wearable and chic: think understated tailoring, mixed prints, and the best accessories around.
Here’s our pick of the best street style from Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Zesty Tailoring
When picking a suit, don’t be afraid of choosing a bold colour to stand out from the crowd.
Cycle Chic
Very few people can make the cycling short look elegant but by styling it with a jacket with a nipped in waist and chic accessories, the nigh on impossible, becomes possible.
Print Clash
Don’t be afraid of clashing prints, the bolder the better.
New Neutral
Give neutrals a boost with oversized tailoring and unexpected accessories.
Trans-seasonal Tailoring
A sleeveless jacket is the perfect trans-seasonal piece to bridge the summer/winter divide.
Standout Styling
One of our favourite details from Copenhagen Fashion Week was the styling of shoe ankle straps over trousers.
Double Trouble
Tie-dye does not have to be worn with neutrals, pair your printed t-shirt with more tie-dye for added impact.
Creature Comforts
Dig out your childhood sweaters to give your outfit a playful edge.
Reworked Basic
Short shorts are not just for the holidays. When worn with tonal pieces they become city chic.
Colourful Accessories
Colour pop accessories are gift that keeps on giving. Invest in bright sunglasses, bags and shoes to brighten up any outfit.
Future Classics
Subtle and classic accessories are a great addition to any out, get ahead of the AW19 trends by choosing ladylike pieces.
Complementary Colours
Clash pastels and bright colours for an unexpected and interesting colour palette.
Winning White
Give an all grey outfit a lift with white accessories and accents.
Unexpected Pairing
We’re all used to leather on skirts, dress and jackets, to try something a little different go for a long leather short.
Pumped Up Colour
A bold accessory can be a great addition to any outfit, we all have our fail safe black, brown and tan bags, but a hit of colour can alter an outfit for the better.
Winter Warmers
Prepare for winter by investing in chunky knits that can work hard day or night.
New Normal
Before the winter layering begins, wear your blazer tucked into high waisted loose fitting trousers.
Subtle Sophistication
Add pair of pearl earrings to a tonal outfit for extra elegance.
