I would hazard a guess that if you’re reading this, you’re already a proud owner of a pair of jacquard Ganni ballet flats, own far too many crochet knitted skull caps and have been wearing flip-flops with trousers long before it became socially acceptable. I would also wager that you’re familiar with these wardrobe staples from the cohort of incredibly tasteful Danish women who regularly wear them. Should that be the case, it should come as no surprise to see them on display through the street style spotted during Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Compared to its contemporaries, Copenhagen Fashion Week is a rare opportunity for attendees to truly let their inner maximalists shine. From the candy-coloured buildings along the Nyhavn to the sandstone buildings of Vesterbro, the city’s vibrant landscape serves as the ideal backdrop for truly spectacular outfits. Built on a foundation of elevated basics, like a striped top from beloved-but-now-defunct brand Saks Potts, a rosette from Pico and a colourful button-down by Caro Editions, attendees are prone to go the way of the magpie and layer sheaths of lace, polished millinery, bold tights and stacks of jewellery.
