Innovation has always been the key to Copenhagen Fashion Week; however, with the 2025 edition, one thing was evident: Scandi chic (Scandinavian style) is getting inclusive, easier to wear, and more high-street accessible than ever. Their selection combined imaginative creativity with practicality, and looks can be both runway-approved and easily located at your favourite shopping stores such as H&M, Zara, and Primark.
Here are 7 of the most striking trends to come out of Copenhagen runways, and you can shop right now.
1. Lace Details
Lace is no longer an evening-only affair. The trend in Copenhagen was the use of lace on blouses, skirt panels even casual dresses and used to add a bit of romance to plain outfits. Seek lace trims or layered lace tops to wear with jeans to obtain a low-key twist.
2. 3D Florals
There were 3D florals from over-scale applique roses to textural daisy clusters. They bring drama and depth but do not overwhelm. Introduce this new, girly accessory by wearing a simple cardigan that is embellished with more floral details or a midi dress with more sculpted flowers.
3. Headscarves
Headscarves have shifted from being vintage to being a daily wear. They were tied, turban-wise, around the chin of models, or merely slung around smooth hair. Zara printed a silk scarf or a cheap version of it in satin by Primark will always feel fresh.
4. Checks
It was the moment of checks, but Copenhagen designers applied the playful piece to the design i.e., oversized gingham skirts, pastel plaid coats, and clashing patterns overlaid. Ease in by pairing a check bag or combining two prints of the check to make a statement that is Scandi-style.
5. Woven Accessories
It could be raffia handbags, basket totes, or chunky, woven belts, but texture is the most important aspect of the season. Such accessories make the simplest appearance appear handmade, which is ideal when going from summer to fall.
6. Balloon Trousers
High-slung, roomy trousers with tapered ankles made a major statement, and are both comfortable and put-together in one garment. Give them a top that matches them, either a fitted tank or a cropped jacket, and you have that easy Scandinavian volume and minimalism.
7. Dresses, Not Jeans
Those Y2K/true Copenhagen quirk dredged up in a sleeker package. The garments are straight-leg denim, but overlaid with sheer midi dresses, worn with loafers or chunky sandals. It is the best layering technique when you are not sure of the weather in the middle of the season.
The Takeaway:
Scandinavian style 2025 shows that nowadays, even at a couture budget, you will be able to dress as a runway insider. This easy-breezy coolness can be yours with a few statement items thrown in a mix with any uniform stereotypically cool things: balloon trousers, a 3D floral cardigan all will take you right to the depths of Copenhagen.
