What Are The Copenhagen Fashion Week Spring 26 Trends?

‍

Trend 1: Oversized Tailoring

Suit jackets and smart trousers have long been a staple in modern style, but for Spring 2026 designers are making tailoring bigger, bolder and boxier. This new look leans more towards the traditionally masculine aesthetic, with a focus on large silhouettes and oversized double-breasted jackets. 

‍

Bonnetje experimented with exaggerated, padded shoulders, while MKDT Studio pushed the trend to its extreme by showcasing pants suits that were split down the entire leg, causing them to gape open as the models walked. 

‍

This new twist on classic tailoring can be explored in varying degrees to appeal to a range of consumers and demographics.

‍

Trend 2: Modern Minimalism 

The Copenhagen cool girl has always dressed herself by the motto ‘less is more’, but for Spring 2026, fashion brands including Skall Studio, Herskind and The Garment have taken this idea all the way. They sent looks down the runway that were the ultimate in sophisticated simplicity, focusing on clean lines and beautiful fabrics devoid of any embellishments or embroidery.  

‍

Some chose sleeves as their single element of detail, while others honed in on hems, adding asymmetry as the only style signature on their garments. 

‍

This minimalist trend is incredibly easy to wear, and its versatility allows it to appeal across all markets for spring and beyond. 

‍

Trend 3: Nu Florals

‍Springtime florals get a modern update for the 2026 season in the form of sculptural tops, textural embroidery and added avant-garde dimension. 

‍

Opéra Sport’s designers were so inspired by the national flower of Korea, the hibiscus, that they created their own 3D appliqué versions, which adorned fresh ivory outfits. At Kettel Atelier, boho blooms formed entire looks and were made from layers of intricate floral lace. 

‍

Rather than the traditional spring floral print, this conceptual evolution of the floral aesthetic is set to become one of the biggest trends as it was seen across countless collections on all types of garments, from skirts to blouses and jumpsuits. Florals have always had broad appeal and this new iteration has a distinctly modern feel that is sure to resonate with consumers.

‍

Trend 4: Ready-to-Rainwear

In sustainably-minded Scandinavia the majority of showgoers arrive by bike, and as a result, the fashion scene has a deep appreciation and appetite for style that is as practical as it is beautiful. 

‍

It comes as no surprise then, that for spring several labels showcased lightweight rain jackets and trench coats. The perfect piece for often inclement spring weather, designers including Fillipa K, Alis and Rotate reinterpreted the functional raincoat with a high-fashion finish. 

‍

Waterproof fabrications combined with classic rainwear shapes to create chic styles that are made for spring in the city. The utilitarian aesthetic is hugely popular and with numerous brands offering their take, it’s an accessible option across a range of price points.

‍

Trend 5: Billowing Trousers

Whether pleated, harem or balloon, statement-making trousers were a must-have category at Copenhagen Fashion Week for Spring 2026. This trend is all about a voluminous silhouette on the lower half of the body, and brands such as Nicklas Skovgaard led the charge sending models down the runway in bouncy, flowing pants. 

‍

The Garment’s trousers of choice cinched in at the waist and the ankle to create a balloon-like silhouette which looked striking worn with heels, while Stel chose to team its extra-wide leg pants with leather loafers for a more workwear feel. 

‍

These larger-than-life trousers have the ability to work with a variety of footwear styles, offering endless exciting options for those looking to try the trend. 

‍

Trend 6: Nordic Neutrals 

Nobody understands an understated color palette quite like Copenhagen and the Spring 26 shows were no different. Local designers proved they are masters of muted neutrals with brands including Aiayu, MKDT Studio and Rotate all choosing to embrace earth tones. 

‍

Some like Freya Dalsjø contrasted warm creams with rich browns to create a softer take on a monochrome, while others including Gestuz opted for a head-to-toe tonal look that felt simultaneously vintage and modern. 

‍

The mass appeal of neutrals should be exciting for retailers as there are endless ways to interpret this trend to suit your customer base. 

‍
