Copenhagen Fashion Week has officially kicked off the Spring 2026 ready-to-wear season—and with it, a vibrant new wave of street style has taken over the city’s cobblestone streets. Known for its effortlessly cool, functional-yet-fashion-forward aesthetic, Copenhagen once again proves that Scandinavia punches well above its weight in global style influence.
This season began with a bang as Caroline Bille Brahe debuted her latest collection for Caro Editions, staged as a spirited, tongue-in-cheek wedding celebration. It set the tone for a week where whimsy, personality, and bold self-expression were the name of the game. Not to be missed were the innovative collections by homegrown favorites like Ranra, Skall Studio, and Henrik Vibskov—all of whom continue to marry sustainability with standout design. A promising highlight came from newcomer Freya Dalsjo, who made an impression with her experimental silhouettes and offbeat layering.
But it’s not just the runways turning heads—outside the shows, attendees brought their A-game to the streets. This season’s most eye-catching trends? Oversized sun hats, kitschy bag charms, statement eyewear, and an unexpected accessory: baby carriers. The crowd seemed to embrace both maximalism and utility, often within the same look. Patterns like polka dots, stripes, and abstract prints added an element of playfulness, while neutral-toned layering kept things grounded in true Nordic style.
What sets Copenhagen street style apart is its authenticity. There’s a sense that people here dress for themselves—not for algorithms or photo ops. Whether it’s a sharply tailored suit paired with sneakers or a prairie dress topped with a waterproof parka, the blend of practicality and individuality feels genuinely lived-in.
As always, street-style photographer Acielle of Style Du Monde was on the ground capturing the magic. Her lens highlights the real pulse of fashion week—the inspiration that happens off the runway, on everyday sidewalks, among editors, creatives, and fashion lovers alike.
