Oversized silhouettes were everywhere, but with that cool Copenhagen take—think tailored blazers that looked perfectly undone and wide-leg trousers that skimmed the pavement just right. It was all about playing with proportions in a way that felt fresh and modern, without trying too hard.

Sequined skirts and shiny accents brought a glamorous edge to the street style scene, making sure that even in the most casual outfits, there was a hint of glamour (who cares if it’s daytime?)

Layering was another big story. Whether we talk satin bottoms paired with chunky knits, and structured jackets over easy tees, or long gloves over outerwear, it was the kind of layering that feels thrown together in the best possible way.

Leopard print was a full-on declaration, appearing on everything from coats to bags, layered together for an unapologetically fierce vibe.
