When you think of fashion capitals, the first names that come to mind are usually the old guards of the fashion world, like Milan or Paris. In recent years, however, Copenhagen has put itself on the map for its burgeoning, youthful fashion scene. Brands like Ganni and Saks Potts have risen to the top, combining playful colors and prints with a natural Scandinavian coolness. Here are a few essential pieces for a Danish-style wardrobe.
SAKS POTTS * FOXY SHEARLING COAT * $1,460
To sum it up, this Saks Potts fur-lined coat is pretty much the pièce de résistance of Copenhagen style. Available in 13 colors and featuring a fox fur lining and collar that is just the right amount of camp, this statement coat has caught the attention of celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Cardi B.
STINE GOYA * GIANNI DRESS * $429
Emulate Copenhagen’s street style with its bold color patterns and silhouette showcasing the best aspects of Danish fashion. This midi dress in abstract floral and flattering ruffle details is effortlessly equipped to be paired with heels, flats or even boots.
LOVECHILD 1979 * CLAIRE SKIRT * DKK 1,600.00
Speaking of midi skirts...this one from the Copenhagen-based label Lovechild 1979 has our hearts. Gathered at the waist and featuring a dainty khaki leaf print, this midi circle skirt draws inspiration from traditional Scandinavian styles.
GANNI * RELAXED MOHAIR CARDIGAN * $395
When I think of Copenhagen, a soft knit cardigan or pullover often comes to mind. With its crisp autumn season and chilly wiinter temps, a cardigan is an essential for layering up that all Danish women seem to do so well.
& OTHER STORIES * RUCHED ALICE HEADBAND * $25
As anyone who enjoys putting outfits together a little more than the average person knows, accessories are just as important as any other article of clothing. Hair accessories – or as Vogue refers to them, “every Danish It Girl’s secret beauty weapon” – add a playful splash of color in any Copenhagen-inspired look.
