Call me biased, but I believe that only a few elite cities in the world determine what’s cool in every aspect of culture—fashion included. This Place Is Dope In May T-shirt For some, that city happens to be New York. Others are rightfully infatuated with Paris. But another capital that is always low-key ahead of the curb is Copenhagen. As someone lucky enough to travel to all of them, I can tell you there’s something particularly cool about Copenhagen. You could attribute it to the city’s budding food scene or unique hotels, but for me, it all comes back to fashion. With an expanding creative scene that has some of the buzziest brands of the moment, the city is cementing itself as a fashion capital in its own right. The style inspiration doesn’t stop at the runway, as some of the best street style looks for the entirety of fashion month can be found on the Scandinavian style set. That might seem like a wild statement, but after scouring hundreds of street style images, I’ve got the receipts to prove it. Ahead, you’ll see some of the best street style looks from Copenhagen Fashion Week for fall/winter 2024. I also figured it wouldn’t hurt to call out the seven biggest fashion trends from this season (with shopping recommendations), especially considering that they’ll likely be coming to a zip code near you. If these looks don’t convince you that Copenhagen is a fashion capital, then the eventual adoption of these trends surely will.

Maybe all French girls are blessed with excellent pins like Ellie from Slip Into Style, This Place Is Dope In May T-shirt or perhaps they just know exactly how to play out a slashed-to-there hemline and not look overdone. We love the flirty, casual ratio of a marl tee and flats with a revealing skirt. As any well put-together French maven will tell you, there is nothing less attractive than hobbling around in high heels. It’s all about looking cool and breezy. It’s no wonder many French girls (like influencer Anne-Laure Mais of Adenorah) turn to classic brands for classic pieces. For example, Karl Lagerfeld never produces sky-high stilettos at Chanel—just clever ones like the toe-cap mules that you can slip on and off and last in all day. Anne-Laure’s simple two-strap sandals are actually from her own brand, Musier Paris. No self-respecting French girl would consider their wardrobe complete without a blazer (or 10). They are the beautifully tailored glue that holds all looks together. We’re not talking about waist-cinching of the extreme variety, but French women always make sure that their figure is in some way in check—even when wearing loose-fitting clothes. Blogger Aria Di Bari provides an excellent example: A shapeless tunic gets the right treatment by this nonchalantly knotted belt. Anne-Laure Mais has a similar approach to Carine Roitfeld when it comes to sultry dressing: It’s all about a 50/50 ratio. Yes, you can see she’s wearing a bodiced black dress with a thigh slit (with no bra, in true français fashion), but the rest of her look is disheveled and relaxed. Walking this line successfully? It’s all down to confidence.
