1. Padded Pants

Style Notes: I love it when a street style scroll offers a fresh perspective on style rather than a shopping list, and this season Copenhagen delivered just that. Instead of letting the hems meet over the boots, the Scandi set tucks their pants and jeans straight in, creating a slightly distracting silhouette that feels purposeful and fresh—expect fashionistas to pick this one up quickly.

2. Heritage headdresses

Style Notes: Dotted all over the city, backpack boy caps have proven to be a staple of street style. Practical enough to combat the elements but elegant enough to add flair to an outfit, these classics add a relaxed edge, which lives up to the hype of other outfits.

3. Fancy Fringing

Style Notes: Fringing swept Copenhagen in a big way this season. From swishy hems to statement cuts, the hemline has brought texture and movement to the simplest. It may have found its footing on the streets of Copenhagen, but I can already see it making its way into all the fashion headlines in the near future.

4. Pops of Wool

Style Notes: Moving away from the usual pop color formula, the Copenhagen fashion crowd has embraced texture instead. Fuzzy hats, beautiful scarves and clutch bags introduce subtle hits of fur, which add depth and interest without overwhelming the outfit. Consider this the cozier cousin of color blocking.

5. Check Mate

Style Notes: Giving animal prints a brief rest, checks have emerged as the print of choice among the Scandi style set. Muted in tone and refreshingly unfussy, these classic patterns inject a rich, winter-ready feel while remaining totally wearable.
