The term “cool girl” is thrown around a lot in the fashion and beauty industry. There’s no single definition or point of origin for “cool”—we think the term can (and should!) apply to anyone, anywhere, who owns their individuality and exudes quiet confidence while doing it. That said, there are geographical hotspots that seem to both produce and attract an inherently cool crowd. Oslo, Norway, is one of them. It’s a vibrant cultural hub rich in art, cuisine, style, and yes, beauty.
