There is no denying that the street style in Copenhagen is something special. Scandinavian gentlemen, in general, have an inherent sense of style that is unlike anyone else in the world. Their commitment to simplicity, function and quality is incredibly evident and admirable. But Copenhagen is different - their style has a bit more flare…
Mostly, this guide is for packing inspo for a trip to Copenhagen, however it can also be used as a guide to achieve the cool Scandinavian guy aesthetic.
GENERALLY SPEAKING:
We are going for laid back, comfortable, with a a bit of elevation and spice.
Here are my loose guidelines:
go for neutral tones with only a pop of color if you feel inclined
master the art of layering
keep it subtle with the patterns
loose or oversized > fitted
try to add at least one piece of formal wear to your look i.e a loafer, blazer or brooch
you want an effortless vibe but with intention
play with proportions i.e if your pants are baggy, make the top more fitted.
carrying some sort of bag during the day is a must
