The looks that caught our attention at CPHFW …
As expected, bright colours dominated showgoers’ looks at Copenhagen, with shades of candyfloss pink, raspeberry and cherry red spotted outside designer presentations and runway events. Meanwhile, micro-trends played into novel shapes and silhouettes. Think: ruching on tops, pantaloon-style trousers and split-toe ballet flats.
At Stella Nova, the brand which delivered a SS26 presentation aboard a ship replete with champagne, summer tunes and its nautical-themed new season collection, attendees embraced maximalist dressing. Argyle knits clashed with fringed sequin skirts, while utility trousers got a dash of something extra care of a scallop trim. Guests accessorised with caged plastic shoppers and fun, sailor-style faux tattoos.

A keffiyeh scarf was remixed to great effect as a skirt by one style influencer proving, as one commenter stated, “nothing is more in vogue than human rights”.
When it comes to hemlines, maxi lengths are commanding attention. We’ve spotted both skirts and dressess of all types, from lace fabrics to tiered shapes and chequered prints.
Amid the wash of colour, others are embodying monochrome outfits that speak to a restrained minimalism. Note how the V-shaped necklines and sheer flat shoes enhance the modest silhouette on these looks.
Checks and balances: a bold pencil skirt in vivid gingham print speaks to joyful summer style – which Copenhagen as a city does so well. (Read our guide to wearing prints with aplomb here.)
Unsure how to wear the current trend for silk scarves worn as belts? Take your style cues from Thora Valdimars of cool Danish brand Rotate, who teams her cream silk scarf with flared jeans and a halter style top.
Naturally, it wouldn’t be fashion week without a rogue sighting of The Row’s Dune flip-flops in the wild. (In case you missed it, the normcore footwear choice has been announced the most popular buy of the season.) Footwear choices aside, we love the idea of a handkerchief hem dress in a soft broderie fabric worn over trousers – chic!
