Stylish Copenhagen Outfit Inspiration
Copenhagen is a world leader in design and fashion, so what better place to gather outfit inspiration? Scandi style is known for its effortless but well-dressed vibe, perfectly blending classic pieces like blazers and wide-leg trousers with cool sneakers and vintage bags.
Another key aspect of Copenhagen style is its practicality. At the core of Danish fashion is comfort and functionality. Locals always dress for the weather—which means warm accessories and lots of layers for winter!
Ahead, I’ve put together some of the coolest Copenhagen outfit inspiration from your favorite fashion It Girls, plus the must-try trends (and anti-trends) you’re likely to see on Copenhagen streets. Whether you’re visiting the city or just love the aesthetic, take inspiration for your own cold weather wardrobe with these Scandi girl-approved winter staples.
Chunky knit, denim skirt, + boots.
The Danes are known for their cool, effortless style that balances functionality with individuality. This outfit from Copenhagen native @kristinervb is the perfect example!
A black denim maxi skirt is chic and sophisticated, especially when paired with sleek boots and a Prada shoulder bag (try this affordable look-alike from Quince). This oversized off-the-shoulder knit from Source Unknown adds that fun, funky element quintessential of Copenhagen style.
All about fleece.
Scandinavian winter style embraces cozy textures and practical layers. Copenhagen girlie @mathildenauta went for a head-to-toe fleece outfit with lounge pants, a teddy purse, and shearling earmuffs. If you live in a chillier climate, you know how essential a warm puffer coat is in winter!
For a Scandi take, upgrade your winter puffer to one in a fun color, like this blue corduroy coat.
Long wool coat, jeans + oversized bag.
Copenhagen girls are trendsetters, but they also love to embrace anti-trends—aka the classic closet essentials you turn to year after year.
Copenhagen-based @amaliemoosgaard is the epitome of elevated European style. Classic jeans, black booties, and a long wool coat is a simple but chic winter outfit you’ll want to wear on repeat.
Oversized tote bags will be a huge trend in 2025. But they’re a staple part of the Scandi girl’s everyday wardrobe if she’s moving around the city for school, work, shopping, errands, or meetings – we love this one from Toteme.
Striped sweater, wool pants + Uggs.
Take style notes from Copenhagen girlie @kristinervb and make blue and brown your new favorite color combo. She wore this gorgeous blue striped knit and paired it with brown cozy pants and Ugg boots. The combo is simple but stunning. Pull it all together with tortoiseshell sunglasses, a navy baseball cap, and a blue woven shoulder bag.
Style tip: A lot of stylish Copenhagen outfits are a mix of new and vintage pieces, which is what makes them unique! Bonus points if you can thrift different elements for your outfits.
Trench coat, tee shirt + jeans.
While one part of Copenhagen style leans into a quirky, colorful aesthetic, the other half embraces minimalism. High-quality basics like the perfect tee shirt and timeless denim are essentials in a Scandi girl’s wardrobe.
Copenhagen-based @ceciliemoosgaard proves that wardrobe basics are always worth investing in. Style straight-leg jeans with a black tee, pointed-toe booties, and this corduroy collared trench coat (more affordable alternative) for a chic ensemble that works for any occasion.
Teddy coat, dark denim + pops of red.
French fashion girlie @chlosertoyou wore this Pinterest-worthy outfit when visiting Copenhagen. A cozy knit and dark wash jeans are the perfect base to layer with more “out there” pieces like a fluffy brown teddy coat and bold red sunnies.
If you’re new to wearing color in winter, the easiest way to incorporate it is with punchy accessories. It’s super easy and looks so good. Chloé did it here with sunglasses and a red Chanel bag, but you could get the same effect with a colorful scarf or sneakers.
Fur coat, baggy jeans + Ugg boots.
Scandi girls love using coats and cold weather accessories to add interest to their winter wardrobes. Take inspo from Copenhagen girlie @mathildenauta, who wore a fluffy faux fur jacket with baggy denim, a baseball cap, and mittens. Uggs are a go-to for comfort and warmth in fall and winter. Not to mention, they go with everything!
Colorful sweater + baggy denim.
Who says you can’t wear color in winter? Scandinavian style is known for its bold hues and loud prints, which you can easily incorporate into your cold weather outfits with chunky knits, cool sneakers, and accessories.
When visiting Denmark, @daphnefnt fit right in with this ensemble of a rainbow sweater, ultra-baggy denim, and cozy accessories like these Ugg earmuffs. Don’t forget some comfy yet warm shoes ideal for exploring the city in icy temps!
Long blazer, mini skirt + tall boots.
Ladies, if you want to look chic this autumn and winter, then copy and paste this next Copenhagen outfit. When visiting the city, Parisian-based @marine_audineau wore this cute outfit that fits right in with the Scandi aesthetic.
She started with wardrobe classics—a white tee and black mini skirt—before layering on a neutral blazer coat and scarf. Moto boots and long socks bring an edgy touch to this street-style look.
Brown coat, mini dress + loafers.
Copenhagen fashion girls are always ahead of the curve, which is great when you’re looking for fresh outfit inspiration.
Danish content creator and model @mathildegoehler channeled Copenhagen style in this chic ensemble. To nail the vibe, start with a black mini dress or a microskirt and tee shirt. Layer with a long chocolate brown wool coat and tights to keep your legs warm. When it comes to shoes, loafers add an unexpected, sophisticated touch.
Style tip: Stick to a monochromatic color scheme or similar shades of black and brown to look put-together yet effortless.
Aviator jacket, light wash jeans + sneakers.
If you’re obsessed with Copenhagen style, look to the girls who live there all year round for the best outfit inspo. I love this look from @mathildenauta. She’s styled core Copenhagen pieces like baggy denim, a claw clip, and chunky sneakers with a cozy aviator jacket and a beige scarf.
To add visual interest, Copenhagen girlies love to wear a bag that doesn’t match the vibe of the outfit. If your outfit is super casual, wear a more structured purse. On the flip side, if your outfit is super polished and sophisticated, a slouchy tote bag will do just the trick. Likewise, you could use your bag to introduce new colors or textures to your outfit.
White jeans, wrap coat + boots.
Next up is this Copenhagen street style-inspired look from fashion influencer Kamila. To recreate the look yourself, start with a pair of white baggy jeans (or trousers) and a chunky turtleneck sweater. Layer with a short wrap coat to keep things looking polished – we adore this wool scarf coat from Quince. Leather gloves and your favorite snow boots add some cozy charm to this easy everyday ‘fit.
Style tip: Copenhagen outfits feature oversized everything, from jeans to sweaters to jackets. Look for pieces with oversized fits or go up one to two sizes to give your outfit a more relaxed vibe.
Touch of leopard.
When in doubt, incorporate a touch of leopard. This animal print counts as a neutral in Copenhagen since it goes with pretty much everything and always adds a fun touch to your outfit.
Take inspo from Denmark-based @amanda_sand. She’s paired leopard print ballet flats with wide-leg trousers and a cream sweater. A brown leather trench is a fresh twist on the wardrobe classic, bringing a modern element to any outfit. Mixing textures is a hallmark of Copenhagen style, so while you’re at it, grab a teddy shoulder bag for even more visual interest.
Style tip: Wearing socks with your ballet flats is Scandi girl-approved.
Leather bomber, turtleneck + dark denim.
In winter, stylish Scandinavians love to wear dark colors, especially black! Black always looks chic, plus it easily mixes and matches with other pieces in your wardrobe, making it easy to pull a cute outfit together.
Copenhagen creator @signe_lindholm styled black wide-leg jeans with an oversized leather bomber jacket and everyday black boots. A cream turtleneck and toffee brown bag break up the black, so the overall look feels balanced.
As for accessories, silver has been everywhere this year (and still will be in 2025), and it’s a trend you’ll spot all over Copenhagen streets. Incorporate silver into your outfit with chunky earrings and loads of stackable rings.
Plain white tee, wool coat + pointed-toe boots.
No matter the weather, Danes are all always layering. Not only does it make for interesting, nuanced outfits, but it’s essential in fall and winter when you’re commuting, jotting in and out of heated buildings, and exploring the city.
For layered outfit inspo, take notes from Copenhagen-based @sofieekruse. A simple white tee shirt and baggy white denim create the perfect neutral base. Adding a long wool coat and tying a grey cashmere fisherman sweater around your shoulders adds dimension to the ensemble and can easily be slipped on if you get too cold.
You can never go wrong with a pair of pointed-toe boots to elongate your legs and make the whole look feel elevated. Finish with leather gloves, a chic shoulder bag, and a skinny belt to accentuate your waist.
As you can see, winter outfits can be just as chic as summer outfits – don’t take it from us, take it from these Copenhagen street styles! Which look will you be recreating first?
