Dashing about the cold and drizzly streets of Copenhagen this week for the autumn/winter 2023 edition of the Danish capital’s fashion week, I was reminded why Scandinavian fashion has such an enduring hold on our wardrobes.
Certainly Nordic women, all glowing skin, minimal make-up and untamed beachy tresses, are very beautiful; but it’s their relaxed, comfort-centric way of dressing that makes them so effortlessly cool. Whether a billowing silk dress with trainers, big baggy jeans and a sequin top or an oversized mannish coat thrown over a minidress, there’s a charming ease to it all that one most definitely doesn’t find on the streets of Paris.
