While Scandinavians would agree that “there is no bad weather condition, just bad clothing,” designers and influencers alike didn’t expect extreme rain to control Spring/Summer 2024 Copenhagen Fashion Week. If there is a city understood to adjust to something as unpredictable as the weather condition, is it absolutely the Danish capital. As GANNI closed CPHFW on Thursday night, Copenhagen showed once again to be a true innovator– one that knows how to develop versatile, refined, and sustainable looks.
Dressing for the weather was a heavy theme this season, with brand names like Skall Studio, Stine Goya, and Remain presenting transitional pieces one could use basically anywhere and anytime. However there were also more defined and bold trends among fresh newcomers such as Gestuz and Rolf Ekroth you would want to contribute to your closet before the summer ends.
Something is for specific: Thanks to Copenhagen, we already have a great concept of what to look forward to next spring and summer season. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the eight finest trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week, to wear now or later.

Earthy Brown Tones
Copenhagen’s vibrant streets and runways were marked with inviting tones of brown. From espresso leather jackets and light raincoat to saddle Santiags boots, the earthy tones are on the verge of universality. Stine Goya masterfully instilled this trend into her collection, including a velvety caramel belted vest paired elegantly with cargo trousers. Lovechild 1979 showcased tailored jackets and wide-leg trousers in softer shades, while GANNI presented a versatile tonal match. With their versatile hues, earthy brown tones are formally invited to mix into your closet.

Peekaboo Looks
Scandinavian designers have mastered the art of see-through garments, and we’re happy to report that crochet gowns and peekaboo tops aren’t going anywhere next year. Increasing designer A. Roege Hove orchestrated her entire collection around commemorating the beauty of transparency and skin through showpieces that included flirtatiously large tops and A-line knitted skirts.
The Danish sis behind Skall Studio chose more subtle skin exposure, with a set of feminine, classic, velvety crochet garments. However here’s the important things: Their garments aren’t just riding the pattern wave; they’re developed to hold up against the test of time, showing that peekaboo looks are more than a short lived craze– they’re a style statement here to stay.

Masculine Cuts
At CPHFW, you could not turn a corner or capture a program without coming across smooth, masculine silhouettes. Copenhagen was virtually a parade of sartorial mastery with standout designers like Gestuz, who presented oh-so-structural and advanced coats. MKTD took the lead by funneling 1930s Korea, complete with elegant yet refreshingly plain fits that required attention.
However the trend isn’t confined to the realm of bespoke tailoring. Skall Studio, always one for simplicity, translated the trend through extra-large shorts and breezy open t-shirts; the best way to blend design and ease before fall comes around.

Infant Blues
We’ve got the next must-have soft shade: child blue! This is the discreet color of the season, sweeping throughout the Scandi landscape. Paired with flowers, whimsical shells, and cloud prints, baby blue virtually asks to be used in warmer months.
In Copenhagen, Marimekko sent denim jumpsuits and customized skirts down the runway, while Helmstedt wowed us with silky shorts that are generally a blue dream become a reality. Overall, the tone was to embrace the softness of the sky and the sea, just as Skall Studio conceptualized it through its whole collection. With flowy child blue ensembles and denim sets, CPHFW proves child blue belongs in your closet.

Flower Bouquets
Purchase yourself flowers– the kind you can use, that is. The Copenhagen runways blossomed with floral fever, meaning your next must-have print. In the Nordics, flowers are deeply embedded within the fashion industry. Just peek at Marimekko, who designs garments around their iconic petal, included across everything from throw-on dresses and twirl-worthy skirts. Then there’s Rolf Ekroth, who took us on a sentimental journey through “rose-tinted glasses” with floor-kissing gowns. And let’s not forget Stine Goya, who chose her signature water-painted prints in smooth textures.

Minimalist Monochrome
If you’re intending for that easily elegant Scandinavian ambiance, dive into monochrome dressing. While keeping the precise very same hue makes for a perfect transitional appearance, Lovechild 1979 simplified the colorblocking trend by mixing velvety wide-leg pants with a slightly deeper, off-white knit.

Declaration Jewelry
SS24 Copenhagen Fashion Week was marked by jaw-dropping statement jewelry ready to take your accenting game to a whole brand-new level. On the runway, you couldn’t miss out on sets of dramatic silver earrings at Stine Goya or chunky gold cuffs from Love Child 1979 that virtually danced with each step. Within the cobblestone of the city, there wasn’t an influencer not wearing pieces by Danish designs Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard. Whether that was the beaded locket made from red carnelian stone or popular drop earrings, Copenhagen’s a lot of glamorous crowd all had their hands on Lie Studio.

Beads & Pearls
Copenhagen Fashion Week took the declaration game up a notch, showing that pearls and beads do not simply belong on your neck. MKTD explained the addition as water beads trickling on the fabric, an ode to the drizzly summertime rain of Copenhagen we’re simply about prepared to use all season.
