While some may argue that New York is the official beginning of fashion month, Copenhagen Fashion Week continues to position itself as a strong competitor for the formal honor. With major brands like Ganni, Rotate Birger Christensen and Baum und Pferdgarten leading the charge, it’s unsurprising how influential Denmark’s capital has become within the international fashion landscape.
As Fashionista reports, the city’s maximalist-yet-approachable take on patterns, colors and silhouettes has consistently clued outsiders in on what trends are worth watching and investing in for the upcoming season. This time, designers leaned heavily into the unique styling of various accessories — including funky headwear, visible underwear and lots of silk scarves tied in countless ways. Brands also declared shades of baby blue and military green as the upcoming “it” hues.
Check out all of the top trends from the Spring 2026 season of Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Off-the-Field Jerseys
The crossover between the fashion and sports worlds is only getting stronger, so it makes perfect sense that jerseys are having a moment in the spotlight. Gestuz leaned into the Formula 1 fanfare, sending a racing jacket down the catwalk for a more refined take on the athletic trend, while Fine Chaos and Alis opted to embrace traditional soccer pinnies featuring their logos and slogans.
Exposed Bikini Tops
Forget real shirts — several Copenhagen designers decided that minimal-coverage swimsuits are sufficient tops for spring. Typically paired with long trousers, bikini tops can perfect a balanced look that’s skin-baring yet slightly conservative (when paired with the right bottoms). They’re also a great solution to the increasing heatwaves around the world.
Silk Scarves Everywhere
According to Google Trends, searches for “head scarf” and “scarf necklace” are up more than they’ve ever been throughout 2025, and based on recent runways, that trajectory will only continue. Whether knotted into a necktie, draped around a waist or loosely decorating a hairdo, the accessory punctuated several collections in Copenhagen, including Henrik Vibskov and Caro Editions.
Y2K Layering
Ashley Tisdale, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus were all onto something in 2007 when they layered shirts upon more shirts for every outfit possible. Taking a page out of the Disney Channel stars’ books, brands like Munthe and Aiayu showed models wearing button-up blouses under long sleeves under T-shirts under tank tops.
Military Green
It’s difficult not to interpret this color trend as a sign of the times. Throughout the week, various shades of mossy, camouflage greens were often seen on utility coats, cargo pants and bomber jackets, perhaps offering not-so-subtle (even if subconscious) commentary about the state of the world.
Baby Blues
Butter Yellow Who? This season, baby blue is staking a claim as a top trending pastel. From fluffy tulle skirts to structured light-wash denim and lacy satin sets, the pale shade was prominently featured in nine Copenhagen Fashion Week collections.
Practically Pantless
High-cut leotards, micro-mini shorts and completely sheer slip skirts made it clear that the no pants trend is not wavering, at least within the fashion community.
Hold On to Your Hats
Statement headwear dominated the week’s lineup, with more than 16 collections featuring beanies, sailor caps, stacked top hats, floppy wide-brim styles and more. Iamisigo presented the most options, showcasing avant-garde feathered pieces, embellished bucket hats and asymmetrical garden party-ready fedoras.
