You don’t have to call Denmark home to take style notes from Copenhagen Fashion Week. If the autumn/winter 2026 collections and equally buzzy street style proved anything, it’s just how versatile dressing in the Danish fashion capital can be.
Affectionately referred to as the fifth fashion week, Copenhagen Fashion Week regularly delivers a mix of charmingly quirky pieces and tailored staples, plus smart styling hacks that draw on the kind of clothes many of us already have lying about our closets. Got a pair of blooming trousers and a slouchy, knee-high boot? Tuck the pants in for a bohemian effect that feels elegant and cool. Need to soften up a stiff winter coat? Add a touch of well-positioned lace.
Below, we break down the five biggest runway trends from the autumn 2026 collections and how to get the look right now.

Fashion may finally be ready to retire all the ragged hems we’ve been dragging across the pavement. Jeans, trousers, even silk track pants were tucked into stiff leather riding boots or slouchy suede styles, creating a tulip effect along the legs that felt at once elegant and easy (and less likely to cause a tumble).

Capes are getting a refresh next autumn, with sleek styles made from plush fur and buttery leather all over the runways. Whether you prefer a standalone cape or one built into a sweater or outer layer, the look is an elevated alternative to traditional scarves and wraps.

Lace has become a mainstay in contemporary womenswear, bouncing from dainty and whimsical to rough and edgy. This winter, expect to see lace accents draped across workwear-inspired suits, layered underneath tough leather bomber jackets, and placed as an overlay to sturdy corduroy.

The urge to rebel against covering up and hibernating for the second half of the year continues, with transparent hemlines peeking underneath gauzy midi skirts and floor-length gowns. The translucent effect is perfect for showcasing a colorful tight or glossy leather boot.

Power dressing goes beyond suiting this season in the form of broad-shouldered knits, silky bodysuits, and tailored white button downs. Consider this one borrowing from the boys and doing them one better.
