As we approach the month of September, distinctive styles are set to enter the metropolises of New York, London, Paris and Milan for the glamorous biannual series of catwalks, first arriving at Copenhagen Fashion Week 2024.
Copenhagen, considered the starting point of the new season, has emerged as the reigning capital of functional fashion – offering highly creative, yet refined and practical style inspiration for real women with busy schedules. Think chic Scandinavian cyclists zipping by in low heels and sustainable fashion activist Pamela Anderson sitting front row, as she did in a chic all-white ensemble at the Birger Christensen show at Rotate.
As Copenhagen Fashion Week draws to a close, here are five of the most stylish and wearable trends spotted on the colourful streets of the Danish capital.
Animal print
No longer the preserve of mob wives and Mel B, animal print has become a wardrobe staple. The neutral tones that make up leopard, zebra and similar prints make them surprisingly versatile. Take 59-year-old Canadian model and influencer Grece Ghanem, who confidently wore zebra-print trousers paired with a button-down denim shirt between shows in Copenhagen. It’s a fabulous example of taking a style risk while still remaining poised and sophisticated.
Game of proportions
To add a sculptural touch to any outfit, wear a cleverly proportioned jacket. Be clever with trompe l’oeil: elongate your lower body by wearing a cropped jacket with high-waisted trousers or a dress, as in the case of this fashion week guest above.
To create a slimming effect on the lower half, opt for an oversized jacket (oversized blazers were a big trend on the streets of Copenhagen this season) and many attendees paired the traditionally corporate garment with more delicate pieces, such as lace slips.
Color immersion
The concept is simple: wearing a single color creates a continuous line from head to toe, giving the wearer an elongating effect. Get your colors corrected by a professional to find a shade that complements your complexion, or just wear whatever makes you happy. Dressing with joy is a surefire way to look good: long skirts
The return of ’90s fashion may have dug out some skeletons from your closet that you’d rather never see again (hello, low-rise pants), but ankle-length skirts are one trend we’re glad to see making a comeback.
polished bermuda shorts
It can be tricky to wear shorts without looking too exposed or unstylish. The stylish Danes have found the solution: fitted Bermuda shorts. The longer hem flatters those who don’t want to show everything, while the formal cut and fabric make this typically casual garment look more sophisticated.
