Broadcasting live from Copenhagen: 7 Street Style Trends That Are Currently Gaining Popularity.
New York Fashion Week may be famous for celebrity sightings and Paris for its allure, but when it comes to street style ideas that can be easily replicated at home, I truly believe that Copenhagen leads the way. Since its inception in 2006, the city has drawn both seasoned fashion professionals and rising influencers with their distinct style, eager to see the trends that will define the coming season. Although much of the conversation will inevitably revolve around the spring/summer 2026 runways (which we’ll provide our insights on soon), I've also noticed many stylish outfits already seen on the streets. With a perfect mix of on-trend chicness and understated practicality, I consistently turn to the Scandi fashion crowd for outfit inspiration that harmonizes style and functionality. This year in particular, I've spotted several fashionable trends that I plan to incorporate into my wardrobe as we move into the autumn season. Picture playful yet wearable colors that can seamlessly blend into any minimalist wardrobe and classic, sleek jacket styles that have me looking forward to the expected cold snap here in the UK. Keep reading to uncover the street style trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week that I intend to emulate this season.
1. Butter Yellow Leather
Style Notes: It’s no surprise to fashion enthusiasts that butter yellow is making a comeback this season. However, instead of the light linen and cotton pieces we saw in summer, fashionable individuals are choosing soft leather materials for autumn. This luxurious fabric suits every type of clothing, though I particularly favor a jacket or coat for the cold weather we’re bound to have here in the UK.
Shop the Trend:
- Reformation
Veda Celine Jacket
This is at the top of my autumn wishlist.
- Free People
Carraway Leather Belt
A versatile leather belt is a must-have for every wardrobe.
- Whistles
Butter Clean Leather Pencil Skirt
2. Heeled Flip-Flops
Style Notes: Flip-flops have been popular this year, but when fashionable individuals seek to combine the comfort of sandals with the elegance of dress shoes, they choose heeled versions that maintain a formal look without discomfort. A pair of low-heeled flip-flops adds sophistication to an outfit while avoiding the unpleasantness of tired feet after a long day in stilettos.
Shop the Trend:
- Toteme
Croco-Embossed Heeled Flip Flops
Simple yet highly effective.
- aeyde
Leather Daphne Heeled Sandals 75
I’m currently loving this luxurious burgundy color.
- H&M
Kitten-Heeled Sandals
Animal print has become a neutral in my closet.
3. Barn Jackets
Style Notes: The Scandi fashion crowd predicts that barn jackets are making a comeback for autumn 2025. This style is perfect for transitioning due to its versatility for layering, and it can look chic at any price point.
Shop the Trend:
- WEEKEND MAX MARA
Dorema Contrast-Collar Cotton Blend Jacket
- Uniqlo
Zip-Up Short Jacket
An investment you won't regret.
4. Tomato Red
Style Notes: Copenhagen’s trendiest dressers have always embraced playful styling, and this year tomato red is taking the spotlight in the form of outerwear, knitwear, accessories, and more. While it might initially appear intimidating, the summer's red sandal trend has shown us that this bold color can fit seamlessly into both minimalist and maximalist wardrobes.
Shop the Trend:
- M&S
Crew Neck Button Front Cardigan
Pair it with jeans, Bermuda shorts, or a white poplin skirt.
- hush
Ivy Pleated Linen Blend Midi Skirt
The viral Cinch bag now comes in this playful red hue.
5. Lace Skirts
Style Notes: I've seen lace pieces everywhere lately, not only in Copenhagen, but I must admit it was the Scandi girls who inspired me to try this trend myself. Fashion week attendees demonstrated how easy it is to style lace skirts with autumn essentials like jumpers and jackets, proving that this romantic style can be worn in any weather.
Shop the Trend:
- Reformation
Carolina Silk Skirt
I predict this skirt will sell out quickly.
- Anthropologie
The Tilda Knee-Length Slip Skirt
This olive green shade is calling to me.
6. Colourful Lens Sunglasses
Style Notes: A pair of sunglasses can elevate any outfit. This season, unlike in previous years when the frames were the main focus, it was the lenses that caught the eye. Featuring all imaginable colors, stylish individuals have shown that a trendy pair of sunnies is all you need to complete an outfit.
Shop the Trend:
