There’s a reason Copenhagen Fashion Week has become the first stop on every fashion editor’s calendar. Long before the rest of the spring/summer collections begin to filter in, the Danish capital has a knack for setting the tone for the season ahead. Expect no gimmicks or flash-in-the-pan microtrends, the Scandis know to deliver on the most functional and wearable pieces, interpreted through their own signature blend of considered styling and effortless cool.

For spring/summer 2027, that influence felt stronger than ever. Silhouettes loosened, proportions became more fluid and and the return of a beloved colour trend emerged as one of the season’s defining talking points. Yes it may be spring, but don’t expect ditsy florals or twee bows, Copenhagen is leaning into tactile fabrics, artisanal embellishment and sculptural accessories to bring plenty of drama. The “wearing vs styling” debate continues too, with layering textures and clever finishing touches proving just as influential as the clothes themselves, and we’ve been hurriedly taking notes.

Judging by the spring/summer collections alone, 2027 is shaping up to be a year defined by elevated essentials and a fresh sense of individuality. Don’t know how to wear a sheer top? Throw it on over your crisp shirt a la MKDT studio. Can’t decide between the pretty little top or the sensible knit? Wear the former over the latter as seen at Munthe. Wondering what else the Danish have up their sleeves? Keep scrolling to see the runway trends that dominated Copenhagen Fashion Week 2026, and the pieces destined to influence the wardrobes of everyone everywhere over the coming months.

1. Allotment-Core

Style Notes: Equal parts cottagecore and GORP-coded naturist, allotment-core is set to make its presence felt post-winter hibernation. If 2024 was the coastal grandmother decked out in beachy blues and sensible white linen, 2025 was the year Salomons and windbreakers exploded and we all looked set to go hiking, and 2026 was the year that cute florals, frills and bibs looked like they had stepped off the prairie, now 2027 is all about home and garden. Basket bags big enough for floral bouquets, rough and ready overalls, and easy throw-on dresses in a sunny colour palette? If it looks like you’re ready to sport a pair of pruning shears at any moment, you’ve got the look right.
