Key Trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week

Copenhagen Fashion Week, which took place from August 5 to 9, 2024, showcased the spring-summer 2025 collections and drew stylists, celebrities, and fashion influencers from around the world. The event highlighted several key trends for the upcoming season.

Scandinavian Romanticism
The combination of Scandinavian minimalism with playful romantic elements is a trend that remains difficult to describe with a single term, but it creates a remarkably harmonious effect.

Trench Coats as Part of the Summer Wardrobe
Trench coats might seem like an overplayed concept, but Scandinavian brands such as The Garment, MKDT Studio, Lovechild1979, Herskind, and Skall Studio have reimagined this fall-spring staple. Their collections feature trench coats made from lightweight fabrics suitable for warmer weather.

Capris Get Shorter: Breeches are the New Trend for 2025
As trends evolve, we see capris transforming into shorter styles, leading to the emergence of breeches as a new trend for 2025.

Altered Jackets and Shirts
Inspired by the 1980s, this trend features cropped, wide-sleeved jackets and shirts, offering a fresh take on wardrobe basics. Brands like MKDT Studio and Skall Studio showcase their unique interpretations in their latest collections.

Minimalist Straight Dresses
The minimalist straight dress remains a favorite, presented in various interpretations, colors, and textures. It was prominently featured in collections from Skall Studio and Herskind.

Nylon and Transparent Fabrics
Nylon and transparent materials have become key textures in Scandinavian brands' collections, perfectly suited for the spring-summer season. Minimalism and lightness are central themes at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Pastel Colors
Pastel shades continue to be on trend for the second consecutive season. Although not new, these wearable and aesthetically pleasing pieces in pastel colors transition into 2025.

Flowers and Ruffles
Featured in collections by brands such as Opera Sport, Skall Studio, and Herskind, floral prints and ruffles are also popular in street style.

Sport in Every Manifestation
The Olympic spirit has made a significant impact, preparing us for a sportswear boom. The brand Baum und Pferdgarten held a grand show in a stadium setting, where the runway was a sports track and guests sat in the stands.

Panama or Cloche Hat?
Scandinavian brands presented an updated version of the panama hat, reminiscent of a cloche hat shape, giving a fresh twist to this accessory trend.

These trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week will set the stage for the upcoming season, offering new ways to update your wardrobe in line with the latest fashion directions.
