If you’re a minimalist and don’t know where to get inspiration for your next outfits or the next pieces you need to get, then the Scandinavian style will be your saving grace. Contrary to popular belief, Scandinavian style doesn’t mean that you have to wear only dark colors all the time, as was portrayed during Copenhagen and Stockholm Fashion Week.
Investing in high-quality and functional items is crucial, whether they’re brand new or even thrifted. Sustainability and ethical shopping play a huge part in Scandinavian fashion. Here are a few street-style looks that will inspire you to dress like a Scandinavian fashion icon.
SUITS
Whether you’re a working woman or you just love fashion, oversized suits or matching sets are a great choice. Suits are very empowering and can boost your confidence like no other clothing item. This season, both loose and tailored silhouettes are in. Both styles are very versatile since you can mix and match to your heart’s desire. Suits are a must-have to look chic and classy while feeling comfortable at the same time.
PATTERNS
Simple doesn’t mean boring, and Scandinavians especially Danes are here to prove it. Danes tend to wear a lot of cool and colorful patterns and prints, and even mix them to stand out from the crowd. They also mix and match unexpected color pairings such as vibrant green and orange, or hot pink, light green, and navy for modern and eye-catching ensembles.
FLOWY & COMFY
In Scandinavian fashion, comfort comes first. People tend to choose more flowy, functional yet chic clothing items, like oversized pants, shirts, and vests to look effortlessly expensive while going about their day. I mean, let’s be honest, who doesn’t want that?
MODEST
Due to the harsh cold weather, Scandinavians tend to layer a lot of pieces to create modern and modest outfits. Casual blazers and jackets are a must in every closet. Not to forget styling vintage pieces with more modern pieces, to create timeless looks.
