Combining Danish ease with heritage British tailoring, SELECTED’s new capsule collection contains the only 15 pieces you’ll need for a polished winter capsule wardrobe
At the core of Scandinavian sensibility lies careful curation, especially when considering our closets. Rather than divulging in an ever-expanding wardrobe of short-lived styles, we search for transcendent trends and seasonless staples kept on a steady rotation. The kind of pieces that will carry us through the years. True luxury lies in perfecting the classics, and if there is one brand who have done so successfully for the winter season it is SELECTED.
There’s a carefree yet carefully considered approach – a signature sophistication, if you will – to SELECTED’s new winter collection. On one hand, it presents in easy-to-style staples such as a classic, cocooning chocolate brown double-breasted coat and a brushed burgundy sweater. On the other, wide-legged, wine-red leather trousers and a floor-skimming slip dress in black lace.
SELECTED’s new capsule is derivative of this distinctly Danish way of dressing. "What makes Copenhagen's approach to fashion so distinctive is its inherent freedom," says Niclas Krüger, SELECTED’s photo shoot art director. "We're capturing that unique energy where a perfectly tailored suit becomes part of the city's daily rhythm – from morning meetings to afternoon coffee runs,” says Krüger.

The suit in question, impeccably fitted and made from premium fabrications, has metamorphic qualities. It transforms throughout the day to fit any and every occasion. When office-bound, we imagine the cross-over trousers styled with SELECTED's updated white shirt, with its matching pussy-bow shawl tied into a windsor knot – a fuzzy knit casually slung across the shoulders. For evening, a full suit embellished with glittering appliques carries us through the night.
The capsule is completed with leather sets, relaxed knitwear, and sparkling evening ensembles, which builds a sartorial base that break down the barrier between traditional formal wear and casual everyday style. SELECTED doesn’t rely on tired capsule tropes with this winter drop (there’s not a fitted white T-shirt or little black dress in sight), instead we’re presented with a contemporary capsule to complete our cold-weather wardrobes, undoubtedly cherished for years to come.
