Yes, You Can Wear Brown With Black
Forget what you’ve heard about not mixing rich browns with black. The once controversial color combination was spotted all over Copenhagen’s sleekest showgoers. Take this attendee, for example. She layered her hot-cocoa-colored coat atop a cashmere crewneck sweater in taupe with a pair of little black mini shorts. Adding in accessories, like a shoulder-grazing scarf and leather knee boot, are the perfect example of how a Scandi girl can turn a simple outfit into one that’s truly statement-making.
Head-to-Toe Suede Is Always a Good Idea
Suede is still dominating the sartorial scene—even in Copenhagen. While making her way into one the week’s many well-dressed events, this showgoer came clad in sumptuous suede, proving that a great coat truly is the ultimate all-in-one winter outfit formula. Underneath, she layered in a tailored black shirt, accessorizing with a pair of brown leather gloves, pointed toe pumps, and clear-framed glasses.
Brighten Things Up With a Blue Button-Up (And Maybe Some Fresh Blooms!)
Bright blue may not be considered a new neutral yet, but according to this cool-girl, it’s on it’s way there. Tucked into a pair of winter white jeans and layered underneath a vintage-feeling, grey wool coat, her tailored button-up helps provide a welcome color pop in an otherwise tonal-forward look. All you need to bring the look home—or to the front row, rather—is a pair of winter-weather-approved boots, elegant leather belt, and shimmering hair accessory.
Suede and Sequins! A Melding of Moods That Never Disappoints
Looking to turn up the sartorial dial in a sea of taupes, off-whites, and soft grays? Just play with texture! Find guidance, here, courtesy of this Copenhagen fashion week darling. All you need is this Banana Republic suede trucker jacket and a shimmering sequin midiskirt from Danish fashion matriarch, Cecile Bahnsen. Underneath, stick to what you know, such as Cos’s featherweight cashmere cardigan and a pair of double-buckle moto boots from Frye. Turn to a clutch in burgundy to bring the look from day-to-night—a transition most important during fashion week.
Break Up Your Groutfit With a Sumptuous Off-White Shearling Coat
Even the most simple of looks are deserving of some fashion flare—and this showgoer seems to also agree. Heading into an evening show, she topped her super-sleek all-grey outfit with a fabulous faux fur coat, just like the one below from Toteme. Scandi-style staples, such as a great black leather belt and trendy pair of trainers, also made an appearance.
It’s a Fact: Python Print Is Just Another Neutral
According to this showgoer (hi, it’s me!), Dries Van Noten’s python-printed sneakers belong right alongside your everyday lineup of minimalist white trainers or retro-inspired pairs. It is the year of the snake, after all! Style them with anything and everything this transitional season, but we (I mean, I) especially love how they pop amid an all-black look. Bonus points if you go double-the-python with Khaite’s printed shoulder bag.
Pack on the Prep With a Khaki Chore Coat
The unsung hero of any fashion week capsule wardrobe is a classic khaki trench coat. This season, however, the Copenhagen fashion week street style scene opted for a more tailored chore coat instead. Styling-wise, get the look and pair yours from Danish label, Mfpen, atop Massimo Dutti’s flowing checkered skirt, and a chunky knit turtleneck from Sporty & Rich. A pair of suede ballet flats are a textural addition no wardrobe essentials enthusiast could deny.
How to Layer Up in a Leather Bomber Jacket, the Scandi Way
Last season, slouchy leather bomber jackets dominated street style scenes across cities. For spring 2025, the edgy essential is back and in shades other than jet black. Follow this showgoer’s suit and layer up in a chocolate brown choice instead. Style it oh-so-cooly with a pleated Bermuda short, pair of knee-high riding boots, and to polish things off, sling Gucci’s GG-printed bag over your shoulders.
