The 9 Coolest Looks From Berlin Fashion Week

At any given time you can be assured that there's a Fashion Week going on somewhere in the world. This week was the turn of our German style compatriots in Berlin, where the FROW rolled out their best summer ensembles. 

Rather than the ultra-conspicuous outfits of Milan, the glossiness of New York or the grunge-tinged aesthetic of London, Berlin's sartorially aware keep things casual: a slip dress worn with sneakers and a denim jacket or a simple pair of black pants styled with nothing more than a crinkled white tee and heels. They prove a strong fashion theory—less really can be more. 

So, to get some laid-back outfit inspiration for the weekend (and week) ahead, scroll through the gallery to see how the German cool girls do it.

Style Notes: Lena Lademann convinces us there is nothing better than a white tee and black trousers—especially when they're accessorised with a Bulgari bag.

Style Notes: The patchwork denim bug has obviously spread across Europe—we love how Lisa Hahnbueck has paired her wide-leg jeans with subtly stand-out pieces like a Victoria Beckham Frill-Trim Knitted Jumper (£345) and red Chloé Drew Shoulder Bag (£1178).

Style Notes: Carola Pojer's ASOS Button Through Midi Skirt in Natural Stripe (£32/£22) is a very versatile summer buy—she's wisely grounded the look for work with a black top and sleek Saint Laurent bag.

Style Notes: The main event in Nina Schwichtenberg's outfit is that brilliant (and chic) Tory Burch bumbag. It acts a real waist-cincher with loose layers and doubles up as your handy travel companion.
