A guide to danish style | casual, effortless style

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

I love Danish & Swedish fashion, it seems minimalist but there is always a cool shape or small detail to elevate it.

[@jackiewheaton4199]

I am all for casual. Love natural fibers, jeans and comfortable shoes!

[@Christinamychas]

Here for all the real world Danish fashion tips! 😍😍😍

[@madsandersen8087]

Finally! An actually correct and accurate depiction of Danish style compared to the typical "fashion" influencers, who believe that all Danish people are walking on the runway

[@Mina_Susnjevic]

I just returned to Sweden from a cozy weekend in Hornbaek and Gilleleje in Denmark and I couldn’t agree more with you Signe. I did some people watching and can only say that Danish people are so stylish, even when it’s cold and rainy. They look very put together, while being very comfortable. Long puffy coats, colorful scarves and gloves, either hiking shoes or Ilse Jacobsen rubber boots 😍 always some minimal makeup and clean hair. Very elegant. Also, more colors than I expected. Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it 😊

[@Donnah1979]

Haha, but those places are also known for being vacation places for some of the better off Danes🧐 😅

[@azabujuban-hito-dake]

Hello from Tokyo, Japan. I think Scandinavian countries and Japan has some similarity when it comes to aesthetics. And I love Danish fashion! I just bought Ganni dress and flat shoes.

[@helentsokana]

I love Danish style 🤍 So chic, laid back, and effortless.

[@Hudson1910]

I love the “mixing” of styles. My favorite thing to do is a dressy top with jeans.

[@pinkpotatoes9849]

I loved in DK in the 90s. Love the casual dress plus modernist jewellery combos.

[@NoN-vm4br]

Would love a video on how to stay stylish while cycling. My long coat often gets caught in the back wheel of my bicycle. I really struggle to look chic while also being practical on my bike!

[@erstmalnurso1988]

What coat is it? I know a trick for dresses and thin coats (like rainwear for example): close your coat and take a big button or even a 5 kroner coin and hold it BEHIND your legs in the middle at the hight of your knees (stand with a bit "opened" legs). Push it a bit forward between your knees. Then grab the button with both the back and front cloth with the other hand and hold it all together. Then - tadaa! - take a rubber band (best a bit thicker one) or a rubber band for hair (don't know, how it's called in English) out of your pocket and wrap it around the covered button or coin as long as it holds tight all together. Mostly you have enough place for moving, so you can ride your bike without any problems (except a men's bike I guess). Try it, it helped me in several situations. But be aware, that it can leave some "crash effect" depending on the material of your clothes 😉

[@mariedupuis7802]

A pleasure to discover your video. My child (plus grandsons now😅) is married to a kind man and lives in Denmark. As soon as I can I come to visit her and like it also because I love food, ambiance in the cafes, markets, simple fashion, design, boats, North Sea etc..I am waiting for my next trip with impatience ! ❤

[@susisisar]

No idea why YT recommended this video for me considering I live in Finland and basically we Nordic people share the same minimal esthetics. But that said it seems people are enjoining this video a lot and it's great to have these sort of videos alongside the Parisian ones which seems to dominate the guides ;p

[@loub1733]

Every place has its vibe and the Danish one is a great addition to thinking about style.

[@kathleenmcgonigle]

We were in Copenhagen about 12 years ago in July for 10 days. My husband was attending a pork convention for four of those days, so I was able to do some tours of castles, etc. It was very unseasonable hot!! Luckily our hotel had air conditioning. The last night of the convention there was a lovely dinner, ballet and dance at the the beautiful Opera House. We loved Copenhagen!! The people were so nice and friendly and we loved all the outside cafes!!

[@carolynmarshall1968]

🇬🇧 My husband works in Denmark and I went last year in December, also going back next week. I love Copenhagen and did notice how laid back the fashion was. I like it, and can’t wait for next week to come 🌲

[@callalily79]

I’m so excited to see a video that combines slow/minimalist fashion and hygge. I discovered both concepts a few years ago and have really resonated with them and incorporated them in my life. They seem to be a perfect pairing, so I hope you do more of these. I also love seeing your beautiful surroundings and architecture. Would love to visit some day.

[@SandraRudane]

I love Danish and Swedish fashion and the concept of living. It's something I want to learn how to dress up comfortably and fashionably. Love your channel. Keep up the great work ❤

[@jane-margaret3299]

Love the sage green coat 😍!!

[@JP-nl4dp]

Very similar to Canadian style particularly near our urban centres. I enjoy your channel as I love your looks and as I deal with four distinct seasons, there’s a practicality that I need in my wardrobe choices as well. I always enjoy the inspiration.

[@pineconelife]

Sort of. I’m Canadian and have been living in DK for over a decade. Danish dressing doesn’t always have the practicality of Canadian fashion. For example, in winter you rarely see a Dane with a hat/toque even carried with them. In most of Canada if it isn’t necessary you at least have one tucked on you somewhere. They (Danes) instead wear enormous bulky scarves wrapped up to their ears. They also love bling more than Canadians - worn for any occasion. Canadians are generally more subdued. Danes are casually neat. Their blundstones look new and they are quite often neat… no shirttails untucked or baggy loose t-shirts. Their love of black can just be depressing.

[@Evaisgalaxy]

Your skin is just flawless.

[@Ella-zj2ur]

A very nice take on Danish style and very much consistent with what I observed there. Fun and interesting, thanks, Signe! Would love to see more on all things Danish lifestyle, including hygge.

[@33Jenesis]

Practical with a fun or trend twist is how I envision Northern European urban folk would dress :)

[@cynbod]

This is a very accurate depiction of the danish style! I love your sage green coat. I like mixing it with french style, where we don´t wear all black but we do love the neutrals....

[@tamvlogs3350]

Thank you for this fun inside look into the Danish fashion😊 I am hoping to visit Denmark some day so this is inspirational❤

[@SyKnife]

I wish snowsuits would become popular in the cold states in the US. Only skiers and snowboarders wear them here. They are usually so colorful, it’s fun to see bright colors in the winter.

[@lesleygordon1748]

As I am head to toe in black today, I would do fine in Denmark!

[@PeonyLadyKim]

Great video, thank you for posting this. I live in Interior Alaska and this is a style we practice also. There is a real style up here called "Alaska formal" which would include standard formal attire all the way down to overalls with bunny boots. Anything goes up here at formal functions (well most formal functions). This video has given me some wonderful ideas on how to style my sequin skirt for everyday wear in November and December working at the Antique shop.

[@rosieburrows3410]

I love this very much! I had no idea that this type of style was popular, even the norm in Denmark. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@eileenternullo8077]

I’m a Danish descendant ( mother from Copenhagen) this is interesting, more please.

[@pjalexandra]

Canadian here. Used to live in a climate more like Denmark but now fully in the mountains. Your video a few years back about how to layer and still wear a nice coat (that's how I remember it anyhow) was a revelation. wearing a liner layer + big scarf + fun hat to give a 'colder' temperature range to my wool coats lets the coats be a beautiful part of the outfit. To put it more precisely: other than for certain extreme outdoor activities I HATE wearing puffer coats that tend to ruin the look of the outfit underneath. So the idea that the necessary weather items should also be well-chosen to fit your personal style is liberating.

[@mauranoonan8951]

I have SAD (yes, it’s real). Even here in the South of the US I feel depressed in the months following Christmas. I read and reread The Little Book of Hygge for some inspiration ❤️

[@AlexLouiseWest]

Sending best wishes from the Isle of Wight, England. SAD is definitely real. I hope this year is as good as possible for you.

This was really interesting. In the UK we also get a lot of rain so I often wonder how people can wear teddy coats or suede boots without them getting soaked. You gave me some great inspiration for outfits- I really like the ‘wrong shoe’ idea ❤

[@milawaller]

In 2003, I wore sneakers to my school prom along with the dress. Now I understand why I ended up in Copenhagen.😃

[@MNP208]

This makes me want to visit Denmark!! I feel like I should have been born there. 🤣

[@bambina3148]

First time here and I loved this!!! Your skin is amazing, so glowy and beautiful ❤

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I wear my wavy hair natural, without styling it, and just sunscreen and lip balm on the vast majority of days. If wearing a dark color, or for dressing up more, I’ll wear some blush and lipstick. My eyes have become so sensitive over the years that I just can’t tolerate eye makeup anymore. During my career, although I always tried for a natural-looking makeup look, I really needed a polished, more-makeup look for my corporate office, with foundation, concealer, eye makeup, etc. I enjoy not having to do all that every morning now that I’m retired.

[@francefry]

I LOVE this sooo much!!!! Just what my soul has been yearning ☺️

[@christinegivens9048]

Lovely channel. ❤

[@Katie-vy5rd]

I live in the US and was wondering if you can give a couple suggestions of online stores that have the Scandinavian fashion that I could order from US? Thanks in advance! And thanks for your tips and advice I love the style I literally went to an appointment yesterday with my puffer on top & my flip-flops on the bottom 😀

[@The_best_days_are_yesterdays]

Maybe you can give me some advice. I prefer A-line dresses and skirts to trousers and jeans because they are more flattering to my figure. What is a good way to "Danish them up?" The only thing that comes to my mind is flats and a blazer. As for "the wrong shoe" I've got that nailed as I wear Vibram Five Fingers exclusively.

[@tracypalmer-wilson7022]

Love the content of this , thank you .

I'm picturing people agonizing in front of their mirror over "does my outfit look effortless enough". LOL. The aesthetic is "I didn't try at all" but the reality is they tried very hard to *look* like they didn't try.

I love this style, but I live in the wrong climate. It’s HOT here except for winter and then it still doesn’t get very cold. Occasionally there will be a crazy frigid day or two, but overall, it’s like 40F/4C in the dead of winter. I love cold weather clothes. Need to move to Denmark ❤

I will be in Copenhagen in July. This helps me start to plan. Besides Rain, What temperature range should I plan from?

[@sophie1766]

Hi Signe, this was really interesting and confirmed what I observed when I was traveling in Denmark last month. The esthetic isn't my particular cup of tea, for me personally it's a little too desaturated and minimal. I get bored when there is so little colour, I'm more on the side of dopamine dressing 😉. I know you added colourful options but, at least from my observations, wearing bolder colours seemed to be more the exeption? However, I do get behind the laid-back feeling and keeping things practical (well, I'm german...). Would you say Danes are usually more stylish than Germans? I don't mean in Berlin & Kobenhavn, but in the smaller and mid-sized cities & towns. Cheers, Sophie

[@UseLess_dk]

I wouldn’t say Danes are more stylish than Germans or anyone for that matter, I do however personally appreciate that the dress code is generally so laid back here - but then again, I’m biased as I was born and raised here haha! Thanks for watching! ❤️🙏🏻

[@danishpastry6137]

There's definitely more variety in the bigger cities, compared to more provincial towns. When I first moved to Denmark, it was one of the things I noticed - I live on the West Coast, and the style is definitely minimal and neutral, but go to Aarhus or Copenhagen and a little more colour sneaks in, and the silhouettes vary much more. Its the same around the world - bigger cities are just more varied. Me, I love the minimal silhouettes, but I often add pops of my beloved reds and blues.

[@UseLess_dk]

@@danishpastry6137 I agree, the style differs a little depending on where you are! Great point and observation 😊

[@Ingrid0410]

Yes, I think Danes (and Swedes) are more stylish, than Germans, more elegant dressers.

[@sophie1766]

@@Ingrid0410 I thought so, too. To me it seemed as if the Danes know better what suits them and put in more effort than the average German.

I wouldn’t fit in there, I have wear skirts and dresses. I would love to wear jeans, but in 50 years I’ve never found even one pair with a reasonable fit, my body shape just doesn’t work in jeans. I don’t fit in much in my native US, either, or anywhere else for that matter, in my skirts and dresses, everyone else only wears gym wear, which I hate. I finally, at age 63, found some (no fly) trousers that fit pretty well and have been buying them in my neutral and basic colors: Franne Gold and Crazy Larry brands. I simply have no waist, hip or thigh curves at all, I’m straight as a yard-stick, except for a strangely, naturally large bust. All women’s, and most men’s trousers/jeans just fall right down off my skinny hips, no matter how tight I get them. The best-fitting jeans I’ve found are men’s 501s. I wouldn’t say they fit well at all, the thighs are enormous, but at least they don’t make people laugh until they cry when they see them on me, like women’s jeans. I got a peculiar mix of genes, I suppose, like Mother Nature couldn’t quite make up her mind, or just threw in whatever was left over.

Flip flops should only be worn to the beach/swimming pool. Fullstop. Not only they are not very stylish to put it mildly, but they are also very bad for your feet and posture as a result! 🫠
