This season, Copenhagen did what Copenhagen does best: making the unexpected feel completely effortless, evoking nostalgia through clothing, and cementing the Danish capital as the home of the cool girl. CPH Fashion week is a fast becoming one of the most intriguing stops on the fashion map, and this year was no exception. From barely-there heels to oversized belts and hero accessories, below are the five street-style trends we’re taking straight from the streets of Copenhagen.
Small heel, big impact. The micro mule brings a polished finish without sacrificing ease, pairing just as well with relaxed tailoring as it does with denim. Consider it the low-key way to elevate everything.
No more boring shirts. If there's anything CPH’s best dressed has taught me, it’s that more is more. Matching shirts and ties, gathered tailoring, unexpected color, and sculptural collars all bring a more considered take to classic shirting; turning what was traditionally formal into something a lot more intentional and expressive.
Movement is having a moment. Fringed tops, bags and accessories add texture and depth to otherwise pared-back looks. The trick? Let the fringe do the talking and keep the rest uncomplicated.
The finishing touch just got louder. From oversized shapes to jagged silhouettes, statement hats are proving that sometimes the strongest part of a look is the thing you put on last.
The belt is back to define the silhouette, adding structure to oversized tailoring, loose dresses and low-key separates. Cinch it, layer it and make it the focal point.
