Nothing gets your creative energy flowing quite like a trip to Copenhagen. Kit Ellis wearing ganbare goemon konami digital entertainment shirt The Scandi city is rife with talented designers, well-dressed fashion lovers, and plenty of inspiring scenery. The fall/winter 2022 shows during Copenhagen Fashion Week definitely didn’t disappoint, with local and international industry insiders descending upon Denmark wearing the coolest looks to date. Fringed leather? Check. Parachute pants? Check. The street style scene was a feast for the eyes, but I’ll admit that it’s maybe not the best for your wallet, as you’re about to be tempted to buy into a bunch of cool trends. Scroll down to see and shop my four favorite street style trends that I spotted during my trip to Copenhagen.

In the midst of navigating where I’m heading and where I’m off to next during fashion week in New York (I do, in fact, live here, but getting lost remains my specialty), Kit Ellis wearing ganbare goemon konami digital entertainment shirt I make it a point every season to scope out the cool items that everyone is wearing, specifically looking for ones that pop up again and again. On the apparel side, there were certainly a few repeats, with big-ticket items including scarf coats, distressed leather jackets, full skirts, and anything really that feels ballet-inspired. The handbag selection, however, was by far the main event. Throughout New York Fashion Week, show attendees debuted a vast array of bags, from classic shapes by the likes of Celine, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel to more on-trend silhouettes and accents like bowlers, metallics, and perhaps most prominent, surrealist styles. Knowing the brevity of the handbag moments this season, I took it upon myself to narrow down the trends I spotted most outside of seven days worth of nonstop shows, presentations, and previews this week to the six that feel most relevant and buzzy. Scroll down to see which ones made the biggest impact this season. Fashion week is not the time for bags that don’t flex with your needs. Nearly every stop in your day leaves you with another knickknack of some sort, meaning that your handbag of choice needs to allow for new additions on top of all the essentials fashion week calls for (e.g., hand sanitizer, portable chargers, snacks, and in the case of this season, Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatment), and for all of that, only an unstructured bag will really do. Luckily, thanks to brands like Khaite, Ree Projects, Bottega Veneta, and more, slouchy, anti-structure bags are a dime a dozen these days.
