Broadcasting live from Copenhagen: 7 Street Style Trends That Are Gaining Popularity Right Now

      New York Fashion Week is famous for celebrity appearances and Paris for its elegance, but in terms of street style that you can recreate at home, I firmly believe that Copenhagen takes the crown. Since its inception in 2006, the city has drawn both seasoned fashion experts and budding influencers, all showcasing their unique styles as they preview the trends expected to rule the upcoming season. While much of the discussion will naturally gravitate towards the spring/summer 2026 runways (which we'll be sharing our insights on shortly), I've noticed many stylish looks spotted on the streets as well. With an impeccable mix of trendy chicness and practical utility, the Scandi fashion community consistently inspires me with outfit ideas that harmoniously blend form and function. This year, in particular, I've come across several chic trends that I plan to adopt now and through the autumn months. Think fun yet wearable colors that fit seamlessly into any minimalist wardrobe, along with classic, streamlined jacket styles that make me look forward to the chilly weather we'll encounter here in the UK. Continue reading to see the street style trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week that I plan to imitate this season.

      1. Butter Yellow Leather

      Style Notes: It's likely no surprise to fashion enthusiasts that butter yellow is trending again this season. However, instead of the airy linen and cotton pieces we observed over the summer, stylish individuals are choosing supple leather materials for the autumn months. This luxurious fabric suits every type of apparel, but I'm particularly keen on a jacket or coat to prepare for the expected cold snaps we tend to experience in the UK.

      Shop the Trend:

      - Reformation: Veda Celine Jacket

      This sits high on my autumn wishlist.

      

      - Free People: Carraway Leather Belt

      A versatile leather belt is a must-have in every wardrobe.

      

      - Whistles: Butter Clean Leather Pencil Skirt

      2. Heeled Flip-Flops

      Style Notes: Flip-flops have had a significant presence this year, but when fashionable individuals want to combine the convenience of a sandal with the elegance of a dress shoe, they opt for heeled varieties that exude formality without discomfort. A pair of low-heeled flip-flops adds a touch of sophistication to an outfit without the irritating ache that can come from wearing stilettos all day.

      Shop the Trend:

      - Toteme: Croco-Embossed Heeled Flip-Flops

      Simple yet incredibly effective.

      3. Barn Jackets

      Style Notes: The Scandi fashion community is declaring that barn jackets are making a comeback for autumn 2025. This style is perfect for transitional weather due to its versatility in layering, and the jacket can look chic at any price point.

      Shop the Trend:

      - WEEKEND MAX MARA: Dorema Contrast-Collar Cotton Blend Jacket

      

      - Uniqlo: Zip-Up Short Jacket

      

      A purchase you won’t regret.

      4. Tomato Red

      Style Notes: Copenhagen's most stylish individuals have always embraced bold fashion moments, and this year, tomato red is taking the spotlight in outerwear, knitwear, accessories, and beyond. While it may initially seem like a challenging color, the red sandal craze from this summer shows that this vibrant hue can integrate effortlessly into both minimalist and maximalist wardrobes.

      Shop the Trend:

      - M&S: Crew Neck Button Front Cardigan

      Perfect with jeans, Bermuda shorts, or a white poplin skirt.

      5. Lace Skirts

      Style Notes: I've been noticing lace garments everywhere lately, not just in Copenhagen, but to be honest, it was the Sandi girls who inspired me to try this trend. Demonstrating how easy it is to style lace skirts with autumn staples like jumpers and jackets, attendees at fashion week showed that this romantic skirt style can be worn in any weather.

Available in a multitude of colors, fashionable individuals demonstrated that a trendy pair of sunglasses can elevate any outfit.
