Every time I go to Copenhagen, I leave with serious fashion inspiration. Now, I can curate a fashion-forward fall wardrobe thanks to what the stylish Danes wore during my most recent trip. I lost track of how many women rocked leather bomber jackets, striped shirts and baggy jeans. I call it the unofficial Scandinavian uniform.
Since I’ve added these pieces to my early fall wardrobe, I feel so much more chic. More importantly, I actually want to rock these styles. Take some notes from the most fashionable Danish women and add these luxe, Scandinavian-looking pieces from Amazon, Nordstrom and Walmart to your closet to feel like a model, no matter where you live.
3 Surprising Fashion Trends I Spotted in Copenhagen
Leather Bomber Jackets
1. My Favorite: Copenhagen has a lot of in-between weather days that call for a sleek cropped bomber jacket like this, ready to fend off rain at a moment’s notice.
2. No Purse Needed: I noticed few Danes carry purses — it’s just not the vibe — especially when they have a bomber jacket with oversized pockets like this. It fits all your necessities inside.
3. High Fashion Vibes: The wind in Copenhagen is no joke. This funnel neck bomber will really come in handy (and looks so Danish).
4. A Little Color: Burgundy is considered a neutral in Copenhagen, and this shiny jacket still adds the perfect amount of color to your outfit.
5. So Crisp: The sharp collar on this washed bomber jacket gives the style a preppier vibe than your standard bomber.
Stripes
6. My Favorite: Thin horizontal stripes on soft cardigans are a Copenhagen staple. Bonus points if you pick up a sweater in blue and brown, like this pick.
7. Go Boxy: Form-fitting silhouettes have their time and place, but the most stylish Danes consider an oversized striped tee to be a closet staple.
8. The Preppy Fit: The rugby shirt is the unofficial shirt silhouette of Copenhagen. You’ll blend right in with the locals in this striped style.
9. Below the Belt: Incorporate the popular pattern into your bottoms with these striped flowy trousers.
10. Classic Wardrobe Piece: The striped button down has a hold on fashionistas all over the world — even those in Denmark.
Baggy Jeans
11. My Favorite: The best baggy jean design sits high on your waist, hugs your backside, then flows out for an effortless it-girl look. This $30 style is perfect!
12. Forever Pair: Levi’s got it right with the Cinch Baggy — the ultimate baggy jeans style that’s made to prevent gapping at the waist.
13. Studded Surprise: These might look like your average black baggy jeans, but the studded back pockets and a fun personality pop.
14. Extra Wide: The wider the pant legs, the cooler you’ll look. This boxy low-rise style will have you looking like a true Dane!
15. Endless Options: Abercrombie’s low rise ultra loose jeans are a fan-favorite for many reasons, but the primary one is its loose, slightly baggy fit and dozens of wash options.
