Whereas the massive 4 style capitals – New York, London, Milan and Paris – could also be gearing as much as showcase their autumn/winter traits over the subsequent few weeks, one of many world’s most up-and-coming style cities has simply given us one thing of a preview into the season forward.

Copenhagen Trend Week has confirmed itself as an actual contender for turning into a fifth style capital over the previous few seasons, and if final week’s autumn/winter showcase is something to go by then it will not be lengthy earlier than the Scandinavian metropolis is welcoming the exact same editors-in-chief and movie star attendees as its excessive style counterparts.

In fact, Copenhagen is already taking part in host to among the coolest influencers on the circuit, with town reworking into one of the anticipated road type scenes every season.

However that is sufficient in regards to the style on the entrance row, how about what’s truly making it onto the catwalk?

Listed below are the six key traits from Copenhagen Trend Week autumn/winter 2024 (that we’re planning on making an attempt out far ahead of that!)…

1. HIGH/LOW

You will know all in regards to the pants-bearing development that is enormous proper now because of the likes of Gucci, Miu Miu, 16Arlington, Bottega Veneta, Nensi Dojaka and Erdem – extra on that under – however for AW24 this look is being made not solely extra wearable but additionally far cosier because of the addition of a chunky knit on high. This excessive/low type of pairing super-dressy items with gentle, informal staples is nothing new, however because of the runways in Copenhagen it is taken one thing of an excellent attractive replace. And concern not, as a result of should you’re not bought on the entire underwear-as-outerwear factor you possibly can at all times swap it out for brief shorts or a horny leather-based skirt à la Munthe.

2. ASYMMETRY

Gen Z might need brutally cancelled the millennial magnificence world’s beloved side-parting (maybe unsuccessfully) – however they are not getting their fingers on the style business’s love for a bit of asymmetry. In actual fact, plainly a few of Copenhagen’s hottest manufacturers – that are adored by Gen Z’s largest style followers – are leaning into the look greater than ever. Whether or not it is one leg uncovered by way of a dramatic aspect slit, some uneven off-the-shoulder motion or a easy dipped hem, it appears as if – for subsequent season no less than – the wonkier your outfit the higher.

3. LOW-RISE SKIRT SETS

The low-rise waist has been huge information for over a 12 months now – thanks largely to everybody from Givenchy and Stella McCartney to Zimmermann, Proenza Schouler, Nensi Dojaka and Sandy Liang championing them inside their spring/summer time 2023 collections – however as we transfer into late 2024, the look is elevated to new heights with the introduction of the development into the world of skirt units. Whether or not paired with a jacket, an off-the-cuff shirt or an out-out bralette-style high, these low-rise skirt units are an excellent simple grab-and-go look that require little different styling or accessorising.

4. ELEVATED OUTERWEAR

In fact, with these being winter collections, it ought to come as no shock that there have been some fairly main outerwear moments price discussing. Most notably, it was the elevation that stood out, with coats serving as whole appears in and of themselves. From including belts to high-end embellishment and even shawl-like layered parts, if we’ll be spending as a lot time wrapped up in outerwear as we’ve carried out this winter then it solely is sensible to actually go for it.

5. PEPLUMS

Peplums re-emerged onto the style scene for AW23 because of the likes of Cecilie Bahnsen, Tove, Richard Quinn, Bottega Veneta, Off-White and 16Arlington, however now that these of us who swore we would by no means revisit them after ditching the development again within the 00s have gotten over the shock of their return, we’re able to admit that we’re fairly into them (once more!). Because of the fit-and-flare silhouette they are typically universally flattering, and so they work simply as properly with skirts as they do dressing up a easy trouser.

6. PARTY PANTS

I advised you we would be speaking about pants once more. In actual fact, buckle up, as a result of this development is simply growing in momentum and it appears like we could also be speaking about them for fairly some time longer… However whereas many earlier iterations have seen sheer skirts take centre stage, in accordance with lots of the largest manufacturers at Copenhagen Trend Week the look is about to grow to be full-on, dressed-to-the-nines, social gathering season permitted. From night clothes to thoroughly sheer two-pieces, plainly the extra risqué your partywear come winter, the higher. Perhaps simply skip this one for the workplace Christmas social gathering?
