Copenhagen Fashion Week celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, the visitors were dressed appropriately for the occasion. They presented thoughtful and fashionable outfits, mostly in the typical minimalist and architectural Scandi style.
Strong outerwear was the focus. This proved that winter layering can be chic. Down jackets were noticeably rare. All-white looks particularly stood out against the wintry backdrop.
Headgear played an important role. As in other Nordic cities, the pillbox hat continues to establish itself as a standout accessory trend. Here are the top street style trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week FW26.
Pillbox hats
Pillbox hats are associated with Oleg Cassini, his client Jackie Kennedy and the 1960s. However, the architectural shape of the pillbox hat also fits the Nordic aesthetic. This is characterized by clear lines and reserved details.

Yellow accents
Yellow sneakers from the Japanese brand Onitsuka Tiger are very popular in Denmark. Danish wardrobes are often characterized by neutral tones. A pop of color can add a little something extra to an otherwise understated outfit.
