The Oslo Fashion Week Street Style Trends We'll Be Copying All Autumn

published 2 September 2024

It might not be quite as flashy as some of the more high-profile fashion weeks, but Oslo Fashion Week is one of my favourites for its Scandinavian charm and fuss-free energy. Beyond the mesmerising runway shows, the Scandi street style crowd gives me reason enough to get excited. Bringing new-season trends to the Norwegian capital whilst digging up some Scandi favourites, Oslo's stylish dressers know how to woo a fashion editor.

I’ve curated a selection of the most striking street style looks I spotted during this Oslo Fashion Week, so keep reading to discover the standout styles that should be on your radar right now.

1. LEOPARD PRINT

Style Notes: Leopard print is back as the season's most in-demand print, and fashion people can't get enough. Before winter takes the helm and you pull out your leopard-print coat, shop a less-committed item to dip your toe into the trend.

SHOP LEOPARD-PRINT:

Ganni

Leopard Denim Stary Jeans

Ganni's leopard-print jeans are a fashion person's favourites.

Mango

Leopard Midi Dress

This is so easy to style.

Rixo

Kelly Silk Midi Skirt in Leopard Brown

A leopard-print skirt is an easy way to add some character to an outfit.

2. LONG SHORTS

Style Notes: Early autumn calls for tactical styling, and long shorts are one of my favourite ways to tackle the change of season. For added warmth, style them with knee-high socks or pair them with tall biker boots if the weather really starts to dip.

SHOP LONG SHORTS:

Zara

Long Bermuda Shorts

These would look very chic with a kitten heel.

COS

Pleated Bermuda Shorts

Style with the coordinating black top and jacket for the full look.

Shop the matching Ribbed Tank Top (£45) and Pleated Open-Lapel Jacket (£75).

& Other Stories

Tailored Shorts in Beige

These also come in black.

3. KITTEN-HEEL MULES

Style Notes: Both poised and practical, kitten-heel mules were a favourite amongst showgoers in Oslo. Far more comfortable than traditional heels, they give a super-chic finish to so many looks with a fraction of the discomfort.

SHOP KITTEN-HEEL MULES:

Zara

Kitten Heel Fabric Mules in Blue

These also come in a light-beige shade.

Rejina Pyo

Squared Kitten Heel Mule 30mm Leather Black

Style with a white cotton skirt or wear with straight-leg jeans.

Reformation

Daniela Kitten Mule

The square toe adds an interesting point of difference.

4. SUEDE TRENCH COAT

Style Notes: Suede jackets are back in a major way for autumn 2024, and suede trench coats are shaping up to be the season's favourite buy. Take your inspo from the Scandi style set and pair it with a miniskirt and white tee, or wear with baggy jeans for a low-key look.

SHOP SUEDE TRENCH COATS:

AND/OR

Suki Suede Trench Coat

Cinch your waist with the belt or let it hang open for a more relaxed look.

Monsoon

Tove Suedette Trench Coat Brown

Drenched in '70s charm.

Stradivarius

Long Faux Suede Trench Coat

A more affordable option.

5. CAPE LAYERS

Style Notes: Cape layers have been cropping up in fashion circles for a few seasons now, but this time around, the trend is set to seep into the mainstream. Shop a coat that doubles as a dramatic cape, or opt for a draped top to create the effect.

SHOP CAPE LAYERS:

COS

Wool-Blend Cape in Grey

This elegant coat also comes in black.

Zara

Flowing Asymmetric Cape

Style this with jeans to instantly elevate your denim.

Massimo Dutti

Long Semisheer Silk Cape

Layer this over a slip dress for an easy and elegant evening-ready outfit.

6. BUBBLE SKIRTS

Style Notes: Ask any fashion person about their favourite recent buy and they'll likely tell you about a voluminous bubble skirt. A summer success, this season we expect to see the trend continue to grow, worn layered up with wool jackets and styled with knee-high boots.

SHOP BUBBLE SKIRTS:

Reformation

Babette Dress in Black

This also comes in blue, red and a polka-dot print.

Zara

Balloon Midi Skirt

You could style this in so many ways.

By Anthropologie

Drop-Waist Bubble Skirt

This thick-knit skirt will take you well into the autumn months with some tights.
