I Just Got Back From Copenhagen — These Are the Top 4 Trends Fashion Girls Can’t Get Enough

Summertime in Copenhagen is unmatched. Not only are the vibes high, but the fashion is impeccable. Copenhagen Fashion Week hasn’t even happened yet, but on my recent trip, people were already stepping out in their most stylish looks. I’ve always admired the Danes’ fashion sense, and I’m basing my summer wardrobe solely on the top trends I saw. You’d be smart to do the same. Embrace a breezy Scandinavian style this summer and beyond with the city’s most popular fashion trends below.

4 Copenhagen Fashion Trends I’m Copying for the Rest of the Summer

Flip-Flops

1. Supported Style: These sleek leather flip-flops aren’t just stylish; they’re also extremely comfortable thanks to the memory foam footbed.

2. Gentle Knots: Copenhagen is a walking city, and while many flip-flops cause blisters, the fashionable girls avoided sores by wearing ones that had soft fabric straps like these.

3. Color Pop: I noticed Danish women kept their outfits pretty neutral, but opted to add a dash of color with bright flip-flops.

4. Elevated: Early aughts styles have reached Scandinavia! I saw countless people wearing chunky wedge flip-flops for extra height.

Boxy Cotton Sundresses

5. Let it Flow: Looser dresses are the move in Copenhagen (probably because they’re easy to bike in!). This chiffon maxi comes in so many colors and matches the joyful vibes of the Scandinavian city.

6. Gingham Dreams: I thought the gingham craze was just an American thing — my time in Copenhagen proved otherwise. The Danes adore the pattern, especially on flowy dresses.

7. Short ‘n Sweet: While maxi dresses were more popular than minis, the few people who wore minis kept them loose and breezy, just like this cotton trapeze dress.

8. Delicate Details: The ruched square neckline and embroidered skirt on this cotton maxi make it so versatile — style it with sneakers (or flip-flops) for daytime wear or slip on some heels for special evenings.

Stylish Capris

9. A Little Flick: There’s something about the slightly flared hem on these stretchy capris that feels effortlessly stylish.

10. Pretty Pattern: Polka dots are the unofficial pattern of Copenhagen — I saw them everywhere. That’s why I immediately bought these dotted capri pants when I got home.

11. So Playful: So many capris look like carbon copies of each other. Luckily, the feminine ruffle hem on this style makes them stand out.

12. Keep it Chill: One thing I loved most about the fashion in Copenhagen was how women prioritized more comfortable, looser silhouettes — even when it came to capris. This relaxed style features a wider leg opening so the pants won’t tug or bunch.

Boho Tops

13. All the Lace: With three different types of lace, this whimsical boho tank feels so romantic and is a total statement piece.

14. Go Asymmetrical: The Danes’ high fashion prowess was on full display with asymmetrical tops like this smocked style that looked like it just came from a Copenhagen Fashion Week runway.

15. Show Some Skin: Copenhagen’s weather is cold, dark and rainy most of the year. So in the summer, people really take advantage of the sun by wearing strapless tops, just like this embroidered floral design.

16. Vintage-Inspired: Thrifting is unmatched in Copenhagen, and people will easily believe you scored this vintage-inspired lace vest during your trip.
