Pink Slip

The sweetest, softest shade of all was spotted top-to-toe at Forza Collective, Birrot and Baum und Pferdgarten, with the latter opting for stark black and rich oxblood accessories to ground the super-feminine shade. The perfect look for a much-needed pick-me-up in the new year, when the weather inevitably isn't playing ball.

Toe the Line

Get your pedicurist on speed dial, according to the Danes (and a plethora of celebs including Kylie Jenner), your dogs are going to be out come spring! Spotted both on and off the runway, the humble flip flop is finally ready to march off the beach and onto the catwalk. Time to dust off your sandals (and get your plasters ready for those pesky in-between toe rubs.)

Scarf Down

The accessory of Copenhagen Fashion Week SS26? Why the humble silk scarf, which was styled in a plethora of ways and is the key piece to transform your wardrobe for the season ahead. At MKDT Studio, scarfs were tied around necks, standing upright as if perpetually caught in a gust of wind (also spotted at Rave Review), while at Skall Studio they were worn over trousers in a nod to the 90s.

Balloon Trousers

A guest wears a black bucket hat with light blonde hair tucked underneath, soft pink lipstick, a white lightweight woven blouse with oversized black polka dots, a self-tie bow at the neck, and billowy long sleeves with gathered cuffs, paired with voluminous pale pink balloon-hem trousers in a flowy fabric gathered at the ankles, black flat flip-flops with thin straps, and bright red nail polish on fingernails, walking, outside Marimekko, during Copenhagen Fashion Week, — Copenhagen Fashion Week SS26 street style

A guest wears dark hair slicked back into a low bun, pearl drop earrings, a collarless ivory jacket in a structured, soft drapey fabric with long wide sleeves, a chest patch pocket, a straight hem, and a concealed front finished with a single oversized dark button at the neckline, paired with matching ivory balloon trousers cut wide through the leg with deep pleats and elasticized cuffs, a small black drawstring pouch and a white pleated hand fan on a gold-tone ring handle are carried with a bright pink smartphone, white crew socks, and black ballet flats with a glossy cap toe and bow detail, standing still, outside Birrot, during Copenhagen Fashion Week — Copenhagen Fashion Week street style strikes again

The street style at Copenhagen is world renowned and often rivals the runway as the place to spot the next buzzy trend. And we've had balloon skirts, and we've had bloomers galore. We now raise you the ultimate fusion - the balloon trouser. This season's new super wearable shape is cuffed at the ankle and waist and balloons out in the middle. A properly fresh way to take up space for SS26.

Blooming Florals

Copenhagen Fashion Week SS26 got us feeling all fuzzy by championing unapologetic romance on so many of the runways. Cecilie Bahnsen showcased her signature big, bold designs that should be on every cool-bride's wish list, while OpéraSport paired matching floral lace tops and bags with jeans. Perfection.
