The moment I landed in Copenhagen, it became clear why the fashion crowd calls it the epicentre of Scandi cool. The bit I wasn’t expecting? The fact that the beauty is just as aspirational as the fashion (if not more so) – particularly on the hair front. Danish looks focus on minimalism, functionality and expressing personal style. Whether it’s a tousled updo, a perfect fringe or a patterned scarf, the Danes just seem to get it right, every time.

In Copenhagen, this shift has already begun: the undone feel was impossible to miss. Now, with Copenhagen Fashion Week underway, the street-style set is out in force – don’t forget to take note of the hair as well as the outfits.
