6 Style Notes We’re Taking From Copenhagen Fashion Week

Although Copenhagen Fashion Week is powering ahead with a new format of socially distanced shows and digital presentations from brands like Baum Und Pferdgarten, Ganni & Saks Potts. The street style is very much business as usual. That's a striking sight after months of lockdown in which the WFH selfie replaced street style pap shots as our source of personal style inspiration.

The Scandi city has always been a bit of a street style capital of sorts, known for its highly photogenic, consistently well-dressed showgoers, a crowd famous for being early adopters of Insta-bait trends from the dad trainer to anything New Bottega. And this season does not disappoint. Here, some of the season's biggest takeaways from the Copenhagen street style set.

The Big Biker Boot (The BBB) is the new Dad Trainer

Knee-length flat biker boots are the new way to offset pretty dresses. With the UK’s unpredictable weather, look at them as the stylish way to combat unexpected showers while looking incredibly cool.

Embrace Sporty Socks

The chunky, white sock — the kind you wear to play basketball — has been everywhere, adding a touch of cool to classic loafers.

New Hues

As far as colour combinations go, you can count on CPHFW for a lesson on how to wear mood boosting brights. New combinations to try: lime green and navy, burgundy with baby blue and grey with neons.

Tied Up

Looking for a five second update? Silk scarves worn in different iterations seem to be the accessory of choice at the shows. Whether looped through your plait, tied as a belt or twisted as a top. It’s an easy way to lift a casual outfit.

Rugby Tops

Time to raid your old P.E. kit. Whether you’re drawn to Ganni’s rainbow stripes or Acne’s elevated ombre, we’ve spotted these rugby style shirts more times than we can count.

Same same, but different

Take a cue from Rotate founders and fashion friends, Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimars. Trend twinning is always going to guarantee head turning.
