Copenhagen Fashion Week for the spring/summer 2027 season came and went in the blink of an eye. In case you missed it, some major highlights included Almada Label presenting its first runway show in a see-now-buy-now format, designer Hillary Taymour bringing her New York-based brand Collina Strada to the city for a waterfront debut, By Malene Birger back on the schedule, and new Danish names like Stem, Taus, and Solitude Studios joining the schedule. But once again, off the runway, the street style stole the show.
For four straight days, Scandi girls and stylish visitors from around the world took over the city’s streets, showing off their best looks. Many embraced elegant outfit formulas and standout fashion trends worth noting for the summer-to-fall transition. Still, what stood out most was the distinct individuality. Every attendee proved that true chicness lies in personal expression rather than following rigid fashion rules or what’s considered “in”—and that a bit of rain can never dampen great style.
Ahead, discover the five top street-style trends that are perfect for pre-fall. These pieces are guaranteed to make getting dressed come September much easier.
The 5 Street-Style Trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week S/S 27
Bermuda Shorts
Sorry, micro shorts, but long Bermuda styles are here to stay. During Copenhagen Fashion Week, many elegant dressers leaned into the shorts’ sophisticated vibe, pairing them with classic button-down shirts and pumps. However, we also saw fashion people take inspiration from celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Margot Robbie, pairing them with loose long-sleeve shirts—another trend that isn’t going anywhere. When searching for the perfect pair, you really can’t go wrong: choose from relaxed pull-on silhouettes or classic tailored options, in fabrics ranging from breezy linen to structured wool.

Straight Mid-Rise Bermuda Shorts
Perforated Ballet Flats
Given that the main mode of transportation in Copenhagen is by bike, we were surprised to see many people wearing heels—from wedge flip-flops to high-vamp pumps. However, when it came to flats, there was one specific style that was everywhere—perforated ballet flats. What makes this shoe perfect for pre-fall is that it keeps the foot covered while allowing breathability thanks to the perforations throughout.

Relaxed Straight-Leg Jeans
If there’s one thing Scandi girls know how to wear, it’s jeans. And while they’re known for overly baggy styles—many of which veer into balloon- or barrel-leg silhouettes—right now they’re embracing the most classic denim shape: relaxed straight-leg jeans. The clean-cut design is seasonless and adaptable, and, most importantly, effortlessly pairs with different shoes.

Waist Adornments
What makes Copenhagen Fashion Week street style stand out most is how attendees intentionally add personal touches to each outfit. This is why many of these looks are saved on Pinterest. This season, fashion insiders enhanced their outfits by tying scarves made of silk and lace, as well as sequined belts, around their waists. We also saw attendees cinching their waists with simple button-down shirts or sweaters, proving that you can use what you already have in your wardrobe and still get the look.

Pencil Skirts
From black leather and dark-wash denim to bold satin, pencil skirts were everywhere—and it makes sense. This skirt trend is one you can count on for pre-fall, fall, and even winter. It was spotted on the runways for the fall/winter 2026 collections at designers like Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, and N°21. While the fashion houses focused on pairing the skirts with coordinating collarless jackets and fitted blazers, those in Copenhagen proved they also look chic when dressed down with colored button-down shirts and cropped tees.
