Copenhagen Fashion Week always offers us a glimpse at the street style that's to come from the scene at the New York shows [1] in September. While we can't say we're expecting the same turnout we've seen from seasons past, pre-pandemic, runway events are slowly being added to schedules all over the world. People are showing up dressed to impress at the shows in Denmark, where brands such as Gestuz [2] and Stine Goya [3] are hosting presentations. We can't help but be enamoured by the creative ways these women are transitioning their summer wardrobes to autumn, and we've gleaned 15 easy, wearable outfit hacks we're ready to try once the temperature starts to drop. Ahead, see our favourite looks from Copenhagen Fashion Week and allow them to inspire your shopping list and the trends [4] you still have yet to try.
Outfit idea: Style that corset you've been wearing all summer underneath a darker-toned suit and finish with mules.
Outfit idea: Add a light touch to your floaty, long-sleeved maxi dress with pastel accessories you can't let go of.
Outfit idea: Try wearing a tailored shorts set underneath an oversize blazer styled with knee-high boots.
Outfit idea: Wear your vest as a top! Whether it's formfitting or oversize, revealing that there's nothing underneath it feels sexy and sophisticated.
Outfit idea: Style a colourful parka vest with baggy denim or cargos and heels.
Outfit idea: The ultimate autumn "mum outfit" comes in the form of tailored khaki shorts with sporty trainers and a peek of sock.
Outfit idea: Tuck your sheer, printed tee into high-rise denim underneath a structured blazer or jacket and finish with your summer flatforms.
Outfit idea: Try meeting your cargo trousers with the same coloured jacket, only in leather or a different material to play with textures.
Outfit idea: Style a long, printed dress with a headscarf and lenses that match the colour theme. (Also, chic-looking water bottles count as accessories [6].)
Outfit idea: Wear your Crocs with straight-leg jeans and a quirky printed vest or tee.
Outfit idea: Style your puffer vest over a T-shirt and belt bag swung over the shoulder. Who says your handbag has to be the finishing touch and final add-on to your look?
Outfit idea: Wear a fuzzy knit cardigan over your long-sleeved midi dress to add transitional fall layers, but keep it breezy in your summer bucket hat.
Outfit idea: Try wearing your strapless cocktail dress over a button-down to play into the regencycore romance. Finish with flats to keep it casual enough for daytime.
Outfit idea: Try leather Bermuda shorts with high-top sneakers and your favourite team sport jacket. You can add structure here by finishing with a geometric-shaped tote bag.
Outfit idea: Rock your neutral-toned, oversize blazer over a fitted summer dress and finish with a headscarf and dark sunglasses.
Outfit idea: Team up a top and skirt, like Nnenna Echem's Rodebjer separates [7], to create the illusion of a long, ankle length dress.
