It’s unofficially considered the “fifth fashion capital”, and the Danes showcased that looking effortless often requires the most effort
By now, Copenhagen Fashion Week has secured its place as the Scandi-cool girl of the fashion world—the one who shows up looking like she “threw something on” but could lecture you on the semiotics of a well-placed colored glove. If you’ve ever caught yourself saving an image of a slightly undone outfit that somehow looks intentional, then you’ve already fallen with its illusion.
From stripes behaving badly to the bomber jacket’s eternal cool, here’s what’s about to infiltrate your wardrobe from the Fall/Wintner 2025 season’s fashion event.

Stripes in Disarray
Stripes are never really out, but this season, they’ve abandoned all pretense of order. They’ve grown erratic, splintering across coats, shirts, and knits in a way that suggests they’re no longer speaking to each other. The usual sailor and banker references have been discarded in favor of the more unhinged—stripes that refuse to stay in their lane.



Accept the chaos: Mismatch widths and directions for a look that feels like a graphic designer’s nightmare, or let one loud striped piece disrupt an otherwise neutral outfit. If anyone questions it, tell them it’s an homage to early modernist architecture.
Bombs Away Again
It has that rare quality of looking equally at home on a fighter pilot, a ‘90s supermodel, and someone who just left an underground club at sunrise. This season, it returned with even more confidence—cropped and oversized, sharply structured or draped with just enough slouch to suggest a certain indifference to trends (which, ironically, makes it even more desirable).




Use it as an anchor for contrast. Throw it over something soft and romantic, like a sheer dress, for a play on tough and delicate. Bonus points if you add sunglasses that suggest you’re avoiding paparazzi, even if it’s just your nosy neighbor.
Gothic Girl
No wardrobe is complete without melodrama, and this season’s dark story was laced with just that. Sheer and weightless, these pieces draped the body like a quiet gesture—meant to slip away unnoticed, leaving only a trace of perfume and a half-remembered conversation.




Keep it intriguing by mixing textures—lace against leather, sheer against structure. Layer without losing the effect. A sheer lace dress over a structured slip creates dimension, while a lace top under a blazer adds intrigue to an otherwise sharp silhouette. The key is to wear it like it’s an extension of yourself, not a costume.
Dressy Casual Blouses
The dress shirt has stepped out of corporate dress codes and into an intentional, strategic style. This season’s iterations exaggerated cuffs, played with asymmetry, and reimagined tailoring for a look that suggests you’re either on your way to an important meeting or about to disappear into an artist’s studio for hours. Either way, you’re wearing the right thing.




Lean into the undone look—half-tucked, buttons slightly off, sleeves oversized. Or, go full precision with sharp trousers and a waistcoat, delivering an energy that says you understand the power of a well-placed comma.
Cinched to Perfection
The cinched waist has taken on an almost anatomical quality, sculpting dresses, coats, and two-piece sets into figures that are part garment, part illusion. With every tie, belt, and dart, the waistline becomes the focal point.




Embrace structured pieces with exaggerated waists or play with soft draping, layering a cinched waist over fluid fabrics to add dimension. A belt is your best accessory, shaping the look while maintaining a sense of ease.
A-Line to Remember
It’s the silhouette that flatters nearly everyone, and in a season that embraces every body, the A-line is having a well-earned moment. But this isn’t your prim-and-proper tea party shape—it’s bolder, louder, and ready to take up space. Prints clash, patterns play, and embellishments make sure you don’t just enter a room—you announce your presence.




A structured A-line skirt with an oversized sweater creates the perfect contrast of volume, while a printed midi with knee-high boots serves up an effortless nod to ‘60s cool. Or, if you’re feeling particularly defiant, pair it with a tough bomber jacket—proportions don’t have to behave.
Copenhagen Fashion Week F/W25 solidified its place as one of the most influential in the fashion world. Its take on style is unpredictable, never overdone, and always leaves a lasting impression.
