While rainbow knits, clashing prints and statement trenches reigned supreme on the autumn/winter 2026 street style circuit at Copenhagen Fashion Week, pared-back denim in various guises have been dominating the Danish runways. From oversized jackets to wide-leg jeans, read on to discover the three denim trends to wear now.

Laura Ingham, deputy director of Vogue’s Global Network, can attest to the power of an oversized denim jacket, which in transitional seasons, she wears rain or shine with tailoring, tracksuit bottoms or jeans. For spring, Skall Studio proposes a utilitarian multi-pocket style, paired with matching denim, a pared-back white vest and beachy beads. A note for those keen to invest in a full denim look: always ensure the washes of your jacket and jeans are the same.
