From denim to the typical classic style seen on the catwalks of Copenhagen, Scandinavia.

Copenhagen Fashion Week has just reached to another season end and seems to have brought together a set of trends which emerged from emerging brands presented at CPHNFW.

Copenhagen Fashion Week continues to serve as an inspirational resource on how to continue to build community and lay the groundwork for ethical and sustainable fashion consumption. It is also evident in the fashion week trends, where quality and longevity are the priority.

Discover below our favorite trends from CPHFW SS23 from the most promising up-and-coming brands, both mainstream and new.

Trend 1: Classics

Creative designers asked us to invest in the classics but don’t limit ourselves. Classics never have to stop your creativity, for sure! They can be worn in different ways, but of course, they depend on your imagination in how to style them.

During CPHFW Spring/Summer 2023, we could see cropped trench coats with curved shoulders, denim jackets that were layered yet streamlined, and white poplin shirts that weren’t really white poplin shirts.

Seen at: Remain, Saks Potts, The Garment, and Wood Wood.

Trend 2: Denim

This fashion trend is becoming more and more wearable during the previous seasons and the current one. And, every season sees a new denim trend. For this Spring/Summer 2023, we saw denim with light treatments that made a big difference. From a red and blue bleached worn wash at Ganni to an incredible tied waistband at Jade Cropper, denim was the star of many shows.

Seen at: Baum Und Pfergarten, Ganni, Jade Cropper, and P.L.N.

Trend 3: Lace Up

We definitely love lace up since it always provides versatility in how you wear it. This Spring/Summer 2023, we saw OpéraSPORT’s show focusing on dresses, tops, and skirts with tie detailing. Knitwear designer A. Roege Hove presented an incredible collection including ties with subtle placements but extra-long laces.

Seen at: OpéraSPORT, A. Roege Hove, (di) vision, and Saks Potts.

Trend 4: Gray

Gray becomes one of Scandi’s favourite colours to wear. We saw it on designs during CPHFW and we definitely loved it! Designers like Sophia Rae at The Garment and Skall Studioare asking us to style our gray trousers with a casual white tank top. Instead of the little black dress, consider a little gray dress instead.

Seen at: Hope, Skall Studio, Stine Goya, and The Garment.
