Another day, another occasion where I scroll Pinterest looking at Matilda Djerf and her Scandi summer style—a mix of vibrant hues, classic silhouettes, and lightweight fabrics that would make any insider jealous. I'm not the only one who's trying to copy their It factor. Year after year, searches for Scandi summer style soar across the internet ahead of Copenhagen Fashion Week, no doubt a nod to the cool, colorful women who take the internet by storm in August. If you're trying to replicate the cool-girl uniform worn by models off duty who bike around cobblestone streets in Denmark and Sweden, you're just in luck. After scrolling through Nordstrom during a 3 a.m. insomnia session, I found the perfect essentials Scandi women would love.
From colorful woven bags to classic, elevated staples like wide-leg trousers and basic baby tees, shop the 32 affordable and investment-worthy Nordstrom pieces Scandi women are definitely wearing this summer and beyond. Run, don't walk, to the checkout before some of these sell out.
