What to wear at Copenhagen Fashion Week

It's hard to talk about Copenhagen Fashion Week without talking about the street style. There's a certain art to the effortlessness of dressing for Scandinavia's biggest fashion week. Here, where the preferred mode of transport is a bicycle and the weather is poised to change on a dime, personal style and practicality reign supreme.

So, as you begin planning your looks for CPHFW's spring/summer 2026 season, which kicks off on Monday, turn to this handy blueprint for inspiration. Below, we've curated a standout look for every occasion.

There's a certain ease to Copenhagen, even on the runways. CPHFW takes ready-to-wear seriously, with many appointment-viewing brands showcasing clothes designed for real life. Bring an elevated ease to the front row with a simple midi skirt and tank, finished with a standout jacket and understated if-you-know-you-know accessories. A subdued palette of brown, beige and burgundy ensures you don't distract from what's coming down the runway.

The greatest CPHFW accessory is still the bicycle. This season, forget biking in heels and opt for sneakers. Nothing says Copenhagen Fashion Week like elevated, easy tailoring and Sambas. The Danish approach to the wrong shoe trend.

For a no-brainer fit that never fails, opt for all-white and standout accessories. Trust us.

If your goal is to appear in as many street style galleries as possible this season, hop on the prevailing 70s boho trend. Rather than top-to-toe ruffles, reach for chunky clogs (sure to be everywhere this season), flared denim and a can't-miss leather jacket. The finishing touch? Oversized sunglasses, so the pic always hits right.

The holy grail of CPHFW looks is marked by cult favourite brands and a just-right colour palette of grey, silver and beige. Finish with at least one Scandinavian accessory. See you on the streets.
