As the dust settles on Copenhagen Fashion Week's spring/summer '25 roster, our editors ruminate on the runway trends that resonated with them most this season
Martina Bonnier, Editor in Chief
Trip to Capri: "Capri or not to Capri? Copenhagen Fashion Week had the answer. For spring/summer '25, our calves will be on show. From the subtle side splits at OpéraSport to the high-waited styles at Rotate, the capri pant was everywhere. Take your styling cues from the runways, which consistently paired the capri with oversized silhouettes and a slight heel."
Allyson Shiffman, Print Editor
Down to Earth: "This season, looks sprung from the ground up… literally. More than one designer turned to the earth – dirt, moss and various greenery – for specific inspiration (MKDT and Munthe, especially) whilst others leaned heavily on raffia and hairy materials that seem to grow like organic matter. Who said fashion wasn’t grounded?"
Clare McInerney, Digital Editor
The big tuck: "Herskind's double-breasted blazer tucked into tailored shorts has altered my brain chemistry. Gen Z has recently sent my love of a tuck into a tailspin, so I’m thrilled to see it endorsed at Copenhagen. And it’s not just blazers – leather moto-style jackets and denim shirts have been approved as prime tucking fodder too."
Josefin Forsberg, Beauty and Fashion News Editor
Waist away: "The meteoric rise of quiet luxury in the sartorial sphere saw us all tying knitted sweaters around our shoulders for a nonchalant appeal. Now, however, with brat on the continuous rise (no doubt influencing the styling choices on the runways) it’s time for the waist-tied college knits of the early '00s to make a comeback. The perfect way to go hands-free when running around for errand, you’ll no doubt be seeing me cinch the waist of many a polo dress with the knot of a sweater sleeve next summer."
Amelie Langenskiöld, Junior Fashion Editor
Tailoring with an edge: "Deconstructed suits and tailored pieces were at the core of the hyped Bonnetje SS25 collection, Baum und Pferdgarten's show was titled 'Office Olympics', and The Garment explored the merging of masculine and feminine fashion. It's fair to say that interesting takes on traditional officewear were at the heart of too many shows to ignore. The versatility and creative freedom makes this trend a favourite. Don't be surprised if you spot me in my own take on the deconstructed shirt this fall..."
Rebecka Thorén, Executive Assistant to the editor in chief and Fashion Production
Shades of grey:"Everything from flowy dresses, sheer tops, to tailored jackets and leather skirts appeared on the grey spectrum this season. Even Rotate, the most colourful of brands, had a piece or two in the tone."
