Ah, Copenhagen Fashion Week. Surely the coolest city in the world has just kicked off their AW26 fashion week and the fashion elite have flocked to the Danish capital to get a piece of the action.

The predecessor to the Big Four (New York, London, Milan and Paris), on the agenda, attendees will be treated to shows like Stine Goya, Baum und Pferdgarten and Opérasport.

Why is Copenhagen Fashion Week so revered? As H! Fashion's Style Editor and trend expert, Orion Scott says: "Kicking off fashion month in epic sartorial style every year is the Danish capital, Copenhagen."

"Each season, Copenhagen Fashion Week strengthens in influence, with famed fashion faces flocking to the city streets in a plethora of eclectic layers, knits and accessories."

And perhaps more so than any other fashion week, it's what's happening outside the show that garners just as much excitement as the looks on the runway. 

It's also a great way to get cold-weather wardrobe inspiration, as the Danes never let a pesky little thing like snow get in the way of a fantastic outfit.

So enjoy the very best street style spotted at Copenhagen AW26 Fashion Week so far...

1/16

Fia Hamelijnck wears a camel-brown double-breasted trench coat with wide lapels and layered belt detailing emphasizing the waist, paired with white gloves, furry beige snow boots, and carries a glossy red heart-shaped patent leather bag, creating a striking contrast between warm neutral outerwear and playful statement accessories outside the Herskind show© WireImage

Heart-to-Heart

Why it works:

This heart bag is so utterly fabulous we almost didn't notice the incredible fluffy boots! A perfect outfit equation in action - statement accessories + a classic coat.

2/16

Evi Wave wears a monochrome red look featuring a bright red knit beanie, oversized red wool coat with wide lapels, a white top layered underneath, red Adidas track pants with white three-stripe side detailing and logo branding, oversized red-tinted sunglasses, multiple statement rings, and carries a black leather shoulder bag, blending sporty streetwear with bold winter tailoring outside the Herskind show© WireImage

See Red

Why it works:

Adidas trackpants are another sporty staple that has been welcomed with open arms by the fashion set, and they're so versatile. This fashion week attendee gets extra mark for those incredible sunnies too. 

3/16

A guest wears a pale yellow wool coat, a red ruffled scarf, a brown polka-dot midi dress with embroidered detailing, white ankle socks, red Mary Jane shoes, gold hoop earrings, and carries a structured purple leather handbag, styled with a red-and-white striped bow clipped into the hair outside the Herskind show © WireImage

Pop of Red

Why it works:

This outfit proves that a pop of red is here to stay for another season, especially when teamed with print of the moment - polka dots. 

4/16

A guest wears a light blue fuzzy knit cardigan, a navy-and-white striped long-sleeve top, a beige pleated mini skirt with a leather-like finish, white crew socks, black leather penny loafers, a black knit scarf draped around the neck, a black headband, and carries a brown leather shoulder bag with playful charms including a banana pouch and blue beaded keychain outside the Herskind show© WireImage

Sock It

Why it works:

Socks are H! Fashion's all-time favourite accessory and when teamed with a midi skirt and a brave pair of knees, they make a gorgeous winter staple.

Earn Your Stripes

Why it works:

Zebra has always been the cooler older sister to fan-favourite leopard, and the pairing of the print with oxblood accessories. Sublime. 

6/16

Evi Wave wears dark brown pants, brown suede boots, brown embroidered skirt, brown fur jacket, brown suede bag and dark brown paper boy hat outside the MKDT Studio show© WireImage

Snugg as a (b)Ugg

Why it works:

UGGs have had the fashion week stamp of approval for a while, but spotting a classic platform pair in a dreamy camel shade in Copenhagen fills our hearts with joy.

Green Dream

Why it works:

This outfit is a masterclass in how pieces that prioritise warmth and comfort don't need to compromise on style, thanks to the harmonious colour palette + denim combo.

Playful Volume

Why it works:

Rich neutrals was one of the runaway trends of 2025, and this wintery update makes warm chocolate perfect for snowy weather. Those sleeves might look fiddly but they are absolutely magnificent. 

9/16

Fluff Up

Why it works:

Crochet skull caps were one of our favourite trends last summer - but in colder climes, they will help keep your head warm - we promise! Another glorious example of how top-to-toe colour can seriously enhance your ensemble. 

10/16

Wild Cat

Why it works:

One of our favourite fashion mantras is to treat leopard as if it were a neutral (much like a stripe). You'll be surprised how versatile the pattern can become - especially when layered as per this gorgeous Copenhagen attendee. 

11/16

Petra Henriette Rufi wears a brown suede cropped jacket with a dark brown fur collar, matching high-waisted suede trousers, dark brown leather gloves, a decorative chain belt with a phone attachment, pointed brown heels, oversized black sunglasses, statement drop earrings, and a black headscarf embellished with shells and gold details outside the OperaSport show© WireImage

Big Fish

Why it works:

Copenhagen is often the place to spot a quirky accessory or two, and this glorious fish bag is going straight onto our wishlist. No one injects their outfits with a touch of whimsy quite like the Danes.

Hats Off

Why it works:

The humble bonnet is a Fashion Week attendee's dream accessory as it'll keep locks from getting soaked in an inevitable downpour. This very chic guest also demonstrates the power of a cracking cardigan worn instead of a coat.

Buckle Up

Why it works:

This outfit is a winning combination of opposing textures. Clock the robust military jacket with metal hardware teamed with the softness of white lace.

Red Hot

Why it works:

For those of us who simply can't bear to be cold for even one moment, a fun fuzzy jacket is an essential come winter. We adore the addition of a coordinating sweater tied around the waist.

Ladylike Perfection

Why it works:

There's nothing quite like a crisply tailored two-piece teamed with a brilliant belt. An outfit like this would surely command attention as you stroll into the office.

Lovely Leopard

Why it works:

These glorious pillbox hats were H! Fashion's Design Lead Molly Saunder's trend prediction for the AW26 show, so expect to see lots more as Fashion Month unfolds!
