10 Trends That Are the Talk of Copenhagen This August
Copenhagen might not be one of the fashion weeks on the traditional fashion calendar, but it has certainly built a reputation for its innovative and agenda-setting approach to design. So many buzzy labels, fresh styling ideas and sustainability initiatives emerge from this city each season. The street style is almost as inspiring as the looks we see on the runways, as guests aren’t afraid to have fun with their outfits over in Copenhagen.
This crowd has sparked lots of the styling trends we have seen dominate over the past few years, such as oversized, colourful midi dresses paired with chunky boots and a love of vibrant prints. This fashion week is all about having fun and experimenting with personal style, which often translates into a whole lot of colour. So we always keep a very close eye on the street style looks, and after so many cancelled fashion weeks, boy, were these outfits fun to look through. After clicking through hundreds of outfits, we saw 10 trends or styling tweaks, in particular, that we spotted again and again.
1. White Shirts
Sometimes you can't beat a classic white shirt, and we love how it looks worn open over a white silk slip dress.
2. Cerulean Pieces
Copenhagen is all about bright colours, and we kept seeing cerulean this year. Miranda Priestly would be proud.
3. Waistcoats
Waistcoats are trending right now, and we love how they look when worn with matching tailored trousers.
4. Bright Colours
Saturated colours are one of the key trends for autumn 2021, and they're already a hit with the Copenhagen crowd. The general rule is the brighter, the better.
5. White Handbags
When it comes to handbag trends, so many guests wore white leather handbags, proving they really do go with every outfit.
6. Boxy Blazers
The item we saw the most at Copenhagen Fashion Week was oversized, boxy blazers in all colours and prints.
7. Crop Tops
Crop tops might be divisive, but the below four outfits show they can suit lots of different personal styles.
8. Silk Scarves
Several showgoers wore printed silk scarves twisted into plaits, and it looks so pretty and unique.
9. Quilting
Quilted jackets and coats are going to be popular for autumn and were popular in Copenhagen.
10. Colourful Coats
When it comes to coats, we saw trenches and leather coats in bright greens, purples and blues. If you have to wear a coat, it might as well be jolly.
