The Street Style Trend We Saw All Over Copenhagen Fashion Week
Oh-so scandi-lous
No one does street style quite like the Scandinavians and this SS25 was no exception. Copenhagen Fashion Week has become a hub for innovative high-low dressing, a trend that mixes casual and formal pieces for effortlessly stylish looks that are taking the world by storm.
I’ve always been drawn to the experimental nature of high-low dressing; it grants you the freedom to push boundaries and redefine limits. High-low dressing isn’t just about mixing different styles; it’s about mastering the balance between comfort and sophistication. A hint of sport, a hint of tailoring, and just a dash of coquette make the perfect recipe for an elevated and interesting high-low outfit.
This style is all about combining opposites, like pairing a cosy hoodie with a sharp blazer or a sporty jersey with tailored trousers, creating a polished yet laid-back vibe. The contrast of SS25 street style in Copenhagen embraced this trend with flair. See a crisp white tee styled with sophistication in unexpected ways, such as layered under sports tanks and paired with structured denim skirts, socks, and chunky sandals.
Ready to try high-low dressing for yourself? Experiment with contrasts by styling casual items with more formal pieces, balancing the elements so neither overpowers the other. An easy example? Pair little sports shorts with a cute blouse, a big moto boot, and an oversized frame. Create a contrast of textures by leaning into denim and wool, cotton, satin, and lace, with a touch of leather or crochet in the accessories. Plus, an abundance of accessories is admired for this aesthetic. Statement bags with charms and studs, or sleek shoes like a pointed ballet flat or thong mule can complete the look. Adorn yourself in ribbons and gems, with chunky silver cuffs and loud rings, and a statement belt to boot. Top it all off with a cool pair of shades to lean into the effortless vibe of it all.
