I’ve Studied the Runways—These Are the 6 Copenhagen Fashion Week Trends With Staying Power

Marking the start of the industry’s favourite season, Copenhagen Fashion Week delivered the high-fashion feast we’ve been craving since February. In typical Scandi fashion form, the runways served up plenty of sharp silhouettes, refined colour palettes and floaty designs, all of which had the Who What Wear UK group chat buzzing. In a sea of stylish ensembles, a few major trends floated up above the rest. Spotted across many collections, these big runway moments indicate next summer’s most in-demand buys, and I’ve studied the shows so that you don’t have to.

Read on to discover the six biggest trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week S/S 25.

6 S/S 25 FASHION TRENDS COPENHAGEN KNOWS WILL BE BIG

1. X-RAY VISION

Style Notes: Guazy dresses, see-through shirts and transparent tailoring peppered runway collections for next summer. Domino Tan layered sheer blouses over minimalistic bras whilst OpéraSPORT went without. Appearing across a spattering of collections, the transparent fashion trend nods to the slow embrace of a more daring side of styling.

2. GREEN GODDESS

Style Notes: Praising nature’s beauty by way of a fresh colour trend, khaki, olive and forest-green shades were key across the Copenhagen runways. Often styled from head to toe, green permeated collections—cementing the shade as a new-season staple.

SHOP KHAKI:

3. A CASE FOR CAPRIS

Style Notes: There’s no doubt about it; the capri pants trend is here to stay. Styled in a relaxed manner across several collections, Copenhagen has asserted that if they aren’t already, capris will be in your wardrobe by summer 2025.

4. PUCKERED PERFECTION

Style Notes: Pretty pleats and ruching thrived on the runways at CPHFW, ushering in a new wave of romantic dressing. Indulging in volume and excess, the emerging trend shows us how the Scandi set has interpreted the return of boho.

5. SUMMER LEATHER

Style Notes: Unexpectedly, leather thrived in Copenhagen’s spring/summer shows. Playing with shapes, Lovechild brought us a thigh-length jacket worn sans trousers, whilst Hundred let us know that brown leather is set to be big news next year.
