Copenhagen street style
Jorts are a common sighting on the streets of chic Copenhagen, worn with shirts, blazers and simple t-shirts. One pair you will have on rotation are these butter-soft Lendrop Kumi shorts. The knee-length faux leather shorts look great with flats, heels and boots, and will dress you in cool-girl vibes for brunch, lunch and even the office. The shorts are wide-legged and sit just above the knees but if you get one size up then they will sit lower, on your hips, adding length to them.
Layering and lace are hallmarks of Copenhagen street style and to help you step into the trend is Motto and the label's lace skirt. The maxi black skirt looks great with a cami and heels for date night, and effortlessly cool when worn with sneakers and a blazer. The versatile skirt can also be layered over a cami-style satin dress if you love the idea of wearing lace but aren't in favour of the sheerness.
Mulberry is the colour du jour and you can easily bring in the chic colourway into your fits with practical additions including a fun water bottle. The new Ora insulated water bottle from KeepCup will let you sip through the straw or drink directly from the spout, keeping you hydrated all day while keeping you stylish.
The humble bomber jacket is still having its moment, popping up to add a collegian vibe to any fit. A great find is this faux suede option from All for Mimi. The deep chocolate cocoa colourway is delicious and will add texture to any fit from jeans and a tee to a lace skirt and a cami. For an oversized fit opt for a couple of sizes larger than your normal size.
Colour is a signature style trend when it comes to Copenhagen street looks and blue is the colour of choice should you want to add a pop of colour that will also match a wide palette in your wardrobe. This affordable high neck jumper from Target will not only make your fit pop but it will match with black, grey, white and shades of brown including tan, letting you mix and match for your casual as well as your corporate wardrobes.
A great piece to add to your wardrobe that you will not regret is a classic blazer as it will instantly elevate any look and will serve you endlessly. Country Road offers a variety of blazers including wool blend tailored option. The single-breasted blazer can be worn over a shirt and with tailored trousers for a corporate look, or over a white tee and your new jorts and ballet flats for Sunday brunch in the city.
