Polka dots, parachute proportions and precision layering – see everything that show-goers are wearing to Copenhagen Fashion Week this season
Copenhagen Fashion Week spring/summer '26 has kicked off and the streets are humming with that distinct brand of Danish style – clever, effortless, and quietly daring – delivered to a tee by locals and international guests alike. There’s no city dressing for the season quite like this, and no one leading the charge more convincingly than Mona Tougaard. The home-grown model stepped out on day one, setting the tone with a sure-fire street style formula: denim, leather and a glass of wine.
One print was impossible to ignore: polka dots. Whether blown-up and bold or barely-there delicate, dots are punctuating everthing: skirts, shirts, bags, even socks. This season, contrasts are doing the heavy lifting. Utilitarian cargos meet sheer tanks. Slouchy tailoring is softened with pastel lace. Soccer jerseys and denim jorts are still in rotation, but they’re styled with bowler bags and Fendi baguettes slung over the shoulder. Masculine vests and ties are layered with feminine flourishes – belt chains, bows, and yes, more polka dots. Leopard has also snuck its way into the mix, a wink amidst the neutrals.
For guests of the SS26 schedule, accessories are speaking up, but not shouting. Metallic hair clips, bandanas, and bursts of cherry red (in bags and charms) are cropping up everywhere, lending personality to pared-back looks. On foot, it’s a three-way split between clogs, kitten heels, and the ever-present black Havaianas.
