Scandinavians famously proclaim, “there is no bad weather, only bad outfits.” While the designers and influencers at Spring/Summer 2024 Copenhagen Fashion Week may not have anticipated the dominance of severe rain, the Danish capital's ability to adapt to the unpredictable is truly exceptional. As GANNI concluded CPHFW, Copenhagen reaffirmed its status as a trendsetter—mastering versatility, refinement, and sustainability.
This season emphasized dressing for the weather, with brands like Skall Studio, Stine Goya, and Remain showcasing transitional pieces suitable for any occasion. Amidst this, emerging designers like Gestuz and Rolf Ekroth introduced bold trends that demand a place in your wardrobe before summer bids farewell.
Thanks to Copenhagen, we're already privy to what to anticipate next spring and summer. Here are the eight standout trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week—ready to be embraced now or later.
Earthy Brown Tones
Copenhagen's vibrant streets and runways showcased inviting shades of brown, from espresso leather jackets to light trench coats and saddle Santiags boots. Stine Goya seamlessly incorporated this trend, featuring a creamy caramel belted vest elegantly paired with cargo pants. Lovechild 1979 presented tailored jackets and wide-leg pants in softer hues, while GANNI showcased a versatile tonal suit. Earthy brown tones are officially welcomed into your closet, thanks to their adaptable and ubiquitous nature.
Peekaboo Looks
Scandinavian designers have mastered the art of transparent garments, and crochet dresses and peekaboo tops continue to dominate. Rising designer A. Roege Hove celebrated transparency and skin with flirtatiously sheer tops and A-line knitted skirts. Skall Studio opted for subtle skin exposure, with feminine, classic, creamy crochet garments—built to withstand the test of time, making peekaboo looks a lasting fashion statement.
Masculine Cuts
CPHFW was a parade of sleek, masculine silhouettes. Designers like Gestuz presented structural and sophisticated coats, while MKTD channeled 1930s Korea with elegant, unpretentious suits. Skall Studio interpreted the trend through oversized shorts and breezy open shirts, seamlessly blending style and ease.
Baby Blues
Muted hues take a backseat to baby blue, the discreet color of the season sweeping across the Scandi landscape. Marimekko showcased denim jumpsuits, while Helmstedt dazzled with silky shorts. Embracing the softness of the sky and sea, CPHFW proves baby blue is a must-have, conceptualized beautifully by Skall Studio.
Flower Bouquets
Floral fever blossomed on Copenhagen runways, hinting at the next must-have print. Marimekko's iconic petal graced throw-on dresses and twirl-worthy skirts, while Rolf Ekroth offered a nostalgic journey through "rose-tinted glasses" with floor-kissing dresses. Stine Goya's water-painted prints in silky textures completed the floral showcase.
Minimalist Monochrome
For an effortlessly chic Scandinavian vibe, delve into monochrome dressing. GANNI mixed an eggshell crochet dress with a tonal cardigan, while MKTD layered a charcoal blouse over a flowing skirt. Lovechild 1979 simplified color blocking by blending creamy wide-leg pants with a slightly deeper, off-white knit—embracing Scandi-chic at its finest.
Statement Jewelry
SS24 Copenhagen Fashion Week showcased jaw-dropping statement jewelry ready to elevate your accessorizing game. Stine Goya featured dramatic silver earrings, and Love Child 1979 adorned models with chunky gold cuffs. Danish models Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard stole the show with beaded necklaces and popular drop earrings from Lie Studio.
Beads & Pearls
Copenhagen Fashion Week elevated the statement game with pearls and beads adorning garments beyond necklaces. Stine Goya featured them on silky, spaghetti-strapped dresses, A. Roege Hove incorporated beaded sheer tube tops, and MKTD embroidered them onto head wraps and draped shirts—an ode to the drizzly summer rain of Copenhagen ready to be worn all season.
