Live from Copenhagen: 7 Street Style Trends That Are Taking Off As We Speak
With a flawless blend of on-trend chicness and pared-back utility, I know that I can always rely on the Scandi fashion set to provide me with outfit ideas that perfectly combine form and function. This year in particular, I spotted several chic trends that I'll be wearing from now on and well into the autumn season. Think playful but wearable hues that can easily slot into any minimalist wardrobe, to classic and sleek jacket styles that actually have me excited for the inevitable cold spell we'll experience here in the UK.
Keep scrolling to discover the street style trends from Copenhagen fashion week that I'll be copying this season.
7 Street Style Trends That Are Taking Off in Copenhagen As We Speak1. Butter Yellow Leather
Style Notes: It's probably not a surprise to fashion lovers that butter yellow is trending yet again this season, but instead of the breezy linen and cotton separates we saw in the summer, stylish dressers are opting for supple leather fabrications to wear into the autumn season. This luxurious material will look good in every style of clothing, but I'm partial to a jacket or coat for the inevitable cold spell we'll get here in the UK.
2. Heeled Flip-Flops
Style Notes: Flip-flops have been huge this year, but when chic dressers want to merge the ease of a sandal with the elegance of an event shoe, they opt for heeled styles that look just as formal without the discomfort. A pair of low-heeled flip-flops will add that touch of sophistication to an outfit without that annoying feeling of your feet hurting after a long day in stilettos.
3. Barn Jackets
Style Notes: The Scandi fashion set is calling it now—barn jackets are back in again for autumn 2025. The perfect transitional style due to its ability to be layered up or down, the expensive-looking jacket will look chic at any price point.
4. Tomato Red
Style Notes: Copenhagen's chicest dressers have always had a predisposition for a playful dressing moment, and this year, tomato red is taking centre stage in the form of outerwear, knitwear, accessories and more. It might initially seem like a daunting hue, but if the red sandal craze from this summer has taught us anything, it's that this bold shade can easily slot into the wardrobes of minimalists and maximalists alike.
5. Lace Skirts
Style Notes: I've been spotting lace clothing everywhere recently, and it's not just in Copenhagen, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it was the Sandi girls who convinced me to try this trend out for myself. Showing just how easy lace skirts are to style with autumn staples such as jumpers and jackets, fashion week attendees proved that this romantic skirt style can be worn in any weather.
6. Colourful Lens Sunglasses
Style Notes: Nothing can take an outfit from simple to elevated like a pair of sunglasses. However, unlike previous years when the frames of the glasses were the focal point, this fashion week it was the lenses that took centre stage. Boasting every colour imaginable, stylish dressers proved that a trendy pair of sunnies is all you need to pull an outfit together.
7. East-West Bags
Style Notes: I think we can all agree that there's just something about an east-west bag that looks incredibly sophisticated. This fashion week, attendees turned their attention to iconic styles such as Alaïa's Le Teckel and Miu Miu's Beau bag.
