The 8 Coolest Spring 2025 Trends From Copenhagen Fashion Week

The consistent rise of Copenhagen Fashion Week, which precedes the time-honored "Big 4" (New York, London, Milan and Paris) has been so fun to watch. Though its schedule may not be packed with household-name designers, Copenhagen never fails to deliver new emerging brands to watch, clothes we actually want to wear and a sneak peek at trends we're likely to see more of in the coming weeks. Plus, Danes just know what's cool — you can see it in Copenhagen street style, in addition to the runways of brands like Baum und Pferdgarten, OpéraSport, Rotate and many more.

Of last week's Spring 2025 shows, we're obsessing over designers' fresh-looking all-white and -cream looks, long, breezy trench coats, cool-girl dresses with just the right amount of frill, the inspired idea of the color gray for spring and the continuation of the capri-pants resurgence. Also: lots of styling ideas around belts and denim.

Keep scrolling for the top trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Milky Whites

The most omnipresent trend we noticed across the Copenhagen collections was head-to-toe full looks in white and adjacent milky hues. Representing fresh starts, white is a staple of spring collections, but Danish designers went even more cream-forward than usual. Particularly interesting are the looks with various shades of white layered and mixed together, like at Mark Kenly Domino Tan and The Garment.

(Subtly) Ruched & Ruffled Dresses

The Danish have a knack for casual-izing the girliest of of dresses (see: Cecilie Bahnsen's whole deal) and this trend is a great example of that. Forza, OpéraSport, Sinead O'Dwyer and more offer dresses with just the right amount of frill — via ruching, pleating or subtle ruffles — so that they don't feel overly complicated or precious — just a delight to wear on a spring day.

Breezy Trench Coats

A staple of transitioning seasons for decades, the trench coat feels new and desirable as designed by the likes of Mark Kenly Domino Tan, The Garment and Skall Studio. There are several spring-y iterations of the coats-with-attached-scarves we saw on some of last season's runways, as well as lightweight, loose, slouchy fits that look great atop a casual outfit.

Superfluous Belts

The resurgence of yet another 2000s trend — belts that serve no function and are purely decorative, often buckled or tied low on the waist — is upon us. We're not sure how we feel about it just yet.

Grays for Spring

Florals for spring? Not groundbreaking. (In fact, the Copenhagen runways were practically devoid of florals.) But gray for spring? Interesting, at least. In Los Angeles, "May Grey" and "June Gloom" mean spring is one of our least sunny seasons — and these silvery grays are exactly what I want to wear when the time comes.

Mid-length Skirts

For the last few seasons, the fashion world has been doing a bit of flip-flopping around the skirt length of the moment, with a focus on extremes: either very long or very short. This season, it seems they've landed on a middle ground: knee-length or a tad longer, in office-ready pencil silhouettes as well as more relaxed ones.

Dressed-up Denim

While denim never lost its place as a staple of practically every human wardrobe, it's been a while since denim was really the focal point of the look, as opposed to something we throw on to run errands. From interesting color treatments to Canadian tuxedos to the modern-day "jeans and a nice top" outfit all millennials defaulted to in 2005, designers are making a strong case for dressed-up denim.

Capri Pants

For those thinking capri pants were just a flash-in-the-pan nostalgia trend with "no legs," think again. They're still going strong in one of fashion's coolest cities.
