Stripes Dominated at Copenhagen Fashion Week—Here’s How to Style Them the Scandi Way

What I love most about the Fashion Week cities is that each has its own inherently unique style. While in New York, you’ll see influencers and fashion insiders stepping out in looks that feel pared back and polished, London street stylers tend to take on the city’s more grungy aesthetic. In Paris and Milan, it’s softer details and statement designs that dominate, respectively. And in Copenhagen? Well, that’s where the real fun happens as guests in attendance experiment with the best Scandi brands, creating looks that channel the city’s artistic, playful nature.

It’s for this reason that we always keep a close eye on the best street style looks at Copenhagen Fashion Week—and it seems that for the Spring/Summer 2026 season, stripes reigned supreme as the fashion insiders’ print of choice.

If you’re wondering how to style stripes the Scandi way, the street style set provided a few key takeaways. Clever layering is key to any stylish Scandinavian wardrobe—think dresses worn over jeans and trousers, or jumpers slung over shoulders. Clashing prints also made an appearance, so don’t think you have to stick to just the one striped item—some of this season’s best looks approached stripes in their multitudes. And lastly, don’t feel obliged to shy away from colour. While, of course, there are some great minimalist stripe outfits to look to, Scandinavian style is all about self-expression, and so interesting colour combinations can offer an unexpected twist.
