Copenhagen street style show of SS24 caught all eyes as the dressing style is trending all over Instagram now. The Scandinavian fashion trend is all about wearing neutrals with enhancing silhouettes, mixing and matching items that shouldn't go together, large bags to fit in all your essentials and a wintry look styled to fit the summer weather. 

After brands like Miu-Miu, Loewe, and Victoria Beckham indulged in this, the celebs and influencers soon followed. We took to Instagram to find some of our favourite looks by these influencers and how can you recreate them in your daily wear to look aesthetic, model-off duty that is just giving. 

Grey Trousers And Denim Overshirt

As you can see, it's all about dressing up simply. Something as ordinary as a pair of grey wide-legged trousers with a white tee under a blue denim-like overshirt does wonders. You can also further accessorise the entire outfit with sneakers, a pair of sunglasses and a large tote bag to fit in all the daily essentials. Similarly, we suggest trying out a simple look where the outfit looks stylish because of the combination of all the elements, essentially making you look put-together yet slightly messy — perfect for a coffee run, or a trip to the grocery store.

Mermaid Skirt And Turtleneck Sweater

Dressing up sleek even for a day out is what screams Scandi fashion. You can always opt for a mermaid bodycon skirt with a sweater, however, in a hot country like India, we suggest getting something sleeveless with a similar texture when the weather is not as cold. The texture is important here as you can see the model is playing with textures in the outfit which makes it look interesting and stylish despite the neutral shades. Layering on a coat is optional as the main accessories to the outfit would be the Ugg or snug boots and a large canvas tote bag. If you're not wanting to go for something casual, you can always dress the look up by opting for a pair formal shoes like oxfords or loafers and an office tote to make it more apt for regular wear.

White Shirt And Blue Denim

A more hot-weather-friendly outfit is this simple pairing of a white shirt and blue denims. This is perfect for a cafe date in the gloomy monsoons. What catches the eye is the choker that really helps elevate an otherwise basic fit. If you're opting for a chunky neckpiece, make sure to leave a few buttons on top to help the choker shine. Coming to the top, we suggest getting something with a good silhouette, with a cinched waist and large half-sleeves to cop a care-free yet stylish vibe.

Pleated Skirt And Hoodie

For a more street-style look, we suggest going with the mix-and-match rule that most prevalent in the Copenhagen style. Like the model, we suggest getting a classic pleated skirt and pairing it with a tie-dye hoodie for a more drip look. We suggest accessorising it with silver rings, some Y2K glares, boots and a messenger bag for the full look. The idea of this is to style items you would have lying around at home and mix and match them until they look cohesive in a very grunge way of ditching the whole high fashion idea.

Flared Pants And Shrug

If you're looking for something more stylish and effortless then we love this look! It has a perfect vacay-mode vibe that is relaxed and comfortable, with a unique style that just flows. You can try pairing casual black flared pants with a simple white tank or t-back top, and layer it with a light brown or ochre shrug with long sleeves. Carry a casual handbag, wear regular formal shoes or sneakers and some sunglasses, but don't miss out on the statement jewellery that will elevate the whole look. Lookout for something with seashells, or large stones that are unique and wear it with dainty earrings and a chain.

Wide Palazzos And Sleeveless Top

The key to this outfit is the kind of materials you get, to avoid making it look like loungewear, opt for richer materials like linen, poplin or twill for a summer look, but canvas, knit and corduroy for a wintery look. The colour palette of the basic neutrals of white, grey and black makes this look really simple, so accessorise your fit with a shiny silver bag like in the image, or wear a pair of black sunglasses to elevate it more.

Jeans And Shirt

Another super simple look is this one with jeans and a shirt, you can take any pair of denim you like, and a comfortable shirt, that's preferably patterned. The aesthetic of this look comes from the accessories the model is wearing, for example, the burgundy shoes are not just in trend but bring a pop of colour to the otherwise blue-on-blue look. The same goes for the pink flower clip and the cheetah print handbag, which add a lot of personality to the look too.

Copenhagen Blouse And A Skirt

A major style that popped this year in summer was the Copenhagen blouse, essentially a blouse with maid collars, and puffy sleeves, held together with tie-ups in the front instead of buttons. We liked this top from Littlebox that fits almost all the conditions except it does not have a maid collar, but if you absolutely want that, this top from Zara has a similar style without a complete tie-up front. Pair it with a cute midi skirt, and a leather jacket if you really want to accessorise it, but according to us, the flower choker the model is wearing is just the perfect accessory to this soft look, exactly something like this one from Nykaa's Revolve store — Petite moments

White Skirt And Pinteresty Top

For something adorable and pinteresty, this white skirt and crop top are the perfect match. It is perfectly in tune with the Copenhagen style of mixing and matching, and on top of it, the slight cottage-core style mixed with Barbie-core is just super cute. There's no need to accessorise it much except for a pair of sunglasses, which you can skip if you don't want to wear one. Just take a tiered skirt and pair it with a graphic crop top, preferably pink for a cute pinteresty vibe and you're good to go for the day.

White Tiered Dress

For the final look, we have this minimal and basic look with a white-tiered dress. We suggest pairing it with some summer sandals and a large bag for a touristy summer look. Of course, put on a pair of sunglasses for the summer and wear a classic watch for the whole elegant and rich look. We found these two dresses that look very similar to the image and will go perfectly with the vibe intended for the look.
