Hot take: Copenhagen Fashion Week is already becoming more important than Paris Fashion Week. The Danes take their style seriously, and I would know — I split my time between the Danish capital and New York. Luckily, their fashion sense is very attainable and easy to replicate.
I completely upgraded my closet with the following four spring trends during my last trip. Adding some baby pink to my wardrobe, as well as versatile suede trousers, and more. You’ll look like you were plopped right out of Scandinavia if you wear the items I curated for you, below.
16 Pieces to Nail Scandi-Girl Style This Spring
Suede Trousers
1. Get Groovy: Get some bottoms that showcase your fun personality. The unique fit-and-flare silhouette of these suede trousers blends Scandi trends with ’70s fashion.
2. Better than Jeans: These wide-legged suede pants will quickly replace your go-to jeans thanks to their versatility. They look effortlessly elegant but can also be styled casually with a sweater and boots.
3. Legs for Days: Everyone in Denmark is incredibly tall, and their legs look even longer in these elongating fitted pants that are also slyly slimming.
4. Go for Green: Many suede pants lack in the colors department. This pair from Kenneth Cole is available in a few fun yet muted hues, like olive, burgundy and ivory.
Barn Jackets
5. Old Reliable: Spring days in Copenhagen can go from warm and sunny to chilly and windy in minutes. That’s why it’s always great to have a barn jacket on hand. This one, with its plaid lining, is country-chic!
6. Vintage-Inspired: Between the boxy fit, peek-a-boo sleeve lining and worn-in finish, this barn jacket is something you could tell people you thrifted, and they’d totally believe you.
7. Trans-Seasonal: Quince’s barn jacket is one you’ll grab all year round, not just from April to June. The sherpa exterior makes it extra cozy for those freezing spring mornings.
8. Extra Trendy: You’ll be the most stylish person in the room when you show up in this leopard print, corduroy-collar layer. Animal prints are everywhere right now, especially in the Danish capital.
Pointed Toe Mules
9. Scandi Staple: These sleek mules are a necessity in every Danish woman’s wardrobe. When the weather warms up, everyone is wearing some iteration of this silhouette.
10. Extra Grip: If you aren’t a fan of mules because they always slide off, this innovative design fixes the issue with a sturdy buckled back strap to keep your shoes securely in place.
11. Nordic Paradise: Sandals aren’t common in Copenhagen, but these woven mules are the next best thing. Consider them a cross between fisherman sandals and mules.
12. Keep a Low Profile: Due to the cobblestone streets, few people wear heels. Instead, you’ll find low block heels. Make a subtle statement with Franco Sarto’s nude pair, which features a clear acrylic heel.
Baby Pink Everything
13. Made for Layering: While most Danes wouldn’t wear this adorable pink checkered dress on its own (the weather is a bit too finicky), they’d layer it with any of the barn jackets mentioned above.
14. A Dainty Touch: This sweet jacquard crewneck cardigan is more intricate than you’d expect. You need to get close to see the blooming floral pattern.
15. European Vibes: Looking for the perfect finishing touch to your spring outfits? This silky pink bandana does the trick and can be wrapped around your hair or neck to complete your look.
16. Hint of Stripes: A signature of Copenhagen-based brand Boii Studios is rugby stripes. While you can’t get its clothing in the States, this pink and brown-striped cashmere sweater is the next best thing.
