Every city in the fashion calendar has its own street style persona. Paris is frequented by A-list celebs. New York is known for its viral moments. London’s parties draw crowds from across the pond. But for real street style enthusiasts, Copenhagen Fashion Week is where the best people-watching occurs.
A much smaller operation than its fashion capital counterparts, the Scandi sartorial scene has romanced the industry in recent years, with home-grown labels like OpéraSport and Pferdgarten and Baum championing the wearable whimsy of Nordic fashion. Defined by its sustainability standards, slow-paced approach, and fondness for practical footwear, the street style at Copenhagen Fashion Week is always imbued with intention. Its up-and-coming reputation sets it apart from the established events in Milan, Paris, New York and London — making it a reliable go-to for accessible outfit inspiration.
Since the Fall 2025 runways kicked off on January 27, the Danish capital has been flooded with playful takes on winter dressing. Bursts of colour blocking and expert texture mixing are in full effect, while weather-minded add-ons have made for A+ statements of self-expression. Aviator sunglasses, maximalist bag charms and cozy balaclavas are a standout theme, with each accessory honing in on Copenhagen’s penchant for playful practicality.
