5 Copenhagen Trends Coming in Hot for 2027
According to the latest runway shows from Stine Goya, Baum und Pferdgarten, Gestuz, and more.
Twice a year, the fashion set descends upon Denmark to celebrate all things Scandi style. As someone who's attended Copenhagen Fashion Week several times over the years, I can attest that it's one of the most fun events on the entire fashion calendar. The positive vibes, young talent, spirited street style, and scenic show venues all combine to make Copenhagen the envy of New York, London, Milan, and, yes, even Paris.
Held in early August 2026, the spring/summer 2027 season was one for the books. Stine Goya and By Malene Birger made highly anticipated returns to the official schedule, while Collina Strada, a cult-favorite American brand, made the journey from NYC to CPH for a special runway show. Gestuz, MKDT Studio, The Garment, and Baum und Pferdgarten were also on hand to unveil their visions for spring 2027 style. Below, I've listed my top five favorite recurrent themes after I scrolled through every single look from CPHFW.
Cool Whip
Visiting brand Collina Strada, pictured above, showed whispy, cloudlike dresses for spring 2027.
This Stine Goya dress looks as delicious as soft-serve ice cream.
Designed by Galib Gassanoff, Institution made a huge splash in its debut runway show at Copenhagen Fashion Week, thanks in part to cumulus confections like this dress.
Lawless Layers
On the topic of layering, the message from Copenhagen Fashion Week brands this season was clear: anything goes. Nicklas Skovgaard, for instance, boldly layered a leather top and skirt over prim pastel gingham separates.
The Baum und Pferdgarten show was rife with chaotic-yet-cool layering moments, including this spotted dress worn over white leggings and paired with gray leg warmers.
At Skall Studio, artfully-placed layers elevated a minimalist maxi dress.
Working Girl
At Gestuz, this plaid blazer with '80s-worthy shoulder pads looked right out of a scene from Working Girl.
Shoulder pads were also spotted at Caro Editions. It's giving Fran Fine (or perhaps even Grandma Yetta).
Nicklas Skovgaard gave his sweaters a touch of '80s chic in the form of shoulder pads.
Sail Away
Hoist up the sail! The Garment's billowy white blouse could catch a serious breeze.
When a basic white top won't cut it, consider Almada Label's cascading blouse.
Skall Studio knows exactly how to design good sleeves.
Limoncello
Lemon sorbet was a recurring theme at Paolina Russo's spring 2027 show.
At OpéraSport, pictured above, a light-yellow skirt and a steel-gray jacket made for an interesting color combo.
Herskind draped a beautiful pale yellow shawl over a simple white T-shirt.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
