A Guide to Scandi-Style Outfits

Everyone knows that Scandinavians are undeniable cool. Spotted at Copenhagen fashion week both on and off the runway, the Scandis have in recent years become the poster girls for minimalism and (in contrast) a free, vibrant expressionism. Although this seems contradictory, both aesthetics rest on one common belief – good basics are the cornerstone to great style.

For example, tailored trousers create the perfect foundation for both a playful ruffled blouse, or a simple white camisole. Similarly, a neutral Harrington jacket can be paired with a tonal outfit, or if you're feeling daring, layered over an oversized striped shirt and jeans. It's all about those foundation pieces.

The fun of Scandinavian fashion lies in the details, so those final touches matter just as much as the foundation. As we enter spring, it’s the perfect time to focus on layering. We're currently coveting this goes-with-everything leather bomber.

And if the winter chill is still refusing to go, slip on a cashmere cardigan underneath or drape it over your shoulders for an extra touch of warmth (and style). Our tip? Leave your jacket undone for a nonchalant look.
