As we transition from August to September, the fashion industry is gearing up for the upcoming runway season and new trends and styles are starting to circulate online. One of the best ways to predict what we’ll be wearing next season is by paying attention to the second half of the year and the fashion spread. Copenhagen Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 24 show showcased realistic fashion with a touch of low-key luxury, incorporating minimalistic asymmetry and heavy-duty street style in their new collections. This event solidified the belief that young designers are the future of fashion, as they bring sustainability, creativity, and innovation to the industry. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know about Copenhagen Fashion Week and the upcoming trends from the August edition.
Gender-neutral clothing: Scandinavian fashion has always been known for its casual street-style, focusing on trends and silhouettes that cater to both genders. The future of fashion will continue to lean towards gender inclusivity and hybrid fashion.
Bermuda shorts and Capris: Contemporary Scandinavian brands showcased a preference for Bermuda shorts and Capri trousers. Though long denim skirts have been popular in recent seasons, oversized Bermudas took the spotlight at Copenhagen Fashion Week SS’24.
Beach trend: The Scandinavian vibe of easygoing styles and nods to a city-to-beach aesthetic were prominent during the event. Straps, eyelets, and multiple metal studs will make an appearance in upcoming trends. Earthy colors and relaxed fabrics, along with easy-breezy dresses, will dominate the fashion scene.
Textured minimalism: Simplified textured styles will be the focus of the future. Opting for plain fashion and silhouettes while incorporating subtle texture and surface interest will create minimalist pieces with subdued styling and neutral tones.
Low-key luxury: Fashion is shifting towards a era of discreet luxury and simple classic pieces. The fashion industry is embracing laidback comfort and Scandi fashion embodies relaxed confidence and sophistication.
Mary Janes: Ballerinas and loafers were popular this season, with Mary Janes expected to continue trending for SS’24. Flat sole iterations, including strappy, buckled, and slide-in designs, will accompany gladiators and sliders, emphasizing comfort.
Copenhagen Fashion Week showcases a realistic and environmentally friendly approach to fashion, serving as an inspiration to the global fashion community. With their street-style runways and collections that prioritize ethical values, Copenhagen Fashion Week is renowned for its casual yet confident presentation.
