Copenhagen is not only known for its rich history and stunning architecture but also for its unique and effortlessly chic fashion sense. During our recent trip to this Scandinavian gem, we couldn't help but notice how the people of Copenhagen have perfected the art of stylish comfort. Here's what we learned about Danish style and how you can incorporate it into your wardrobe.

Embrace Loose-fitting Garments

Say goodbye to cropped and fitted silhouettes and hello to the comfort of loose-fitting clothes. Danish style is all about relaxed and unstructured looks, with men’s and women’s styles blending together. Some key items to consider include:

Straight Leg Jeans and Trousers: There was not a skinny jean in sight, instead Copenhagen guys and girls opt for looser straight-leg pants that offer a comfortable fit without sacrificing style.
Baggy Lower Rise Jeans: Danish fashion enthusiasts have embraced baggy jeans, often with a lower rise, providing a laid-back yet trendy vibe.
Oversized Tees and Hoodies: Comfort is key. Oversized t-shirts and hoodies are the way to go for a casual, relaxed look.
Lots of Loose Layers: Layering is a common theme in Copenhagen. Experiment with loose layers to create depth and texture in your outfit.

4. Oversized Outerwear for Warmth and Style

Copenhagen's chilly winters call for substantial outerwear. Embrace oversized options to stay warm and in style. Popular choices include trench coats, puffer jackets, vintage leather coats, and wool and sherpa coats. These pieces not only keep you cozy but also make a bold fashion statement.

5. Quality Basics Are Essential

Building a Danish-inspired wardrobe begins with quality basics. Danish style often revolves around simplicity, and having well-made essentials is crucial. Stock your wardrobe with timeless pieces like plain tees, cardigans, and crewneck sweaters. These items serve as the foundation for your outfit and can be mixed and matched effortlessly.
