Mini bags and "no pants": the streetstyle trends seen in Copenhagen this winter

In recent years, Copenhagen Fashion Week has established itself as one of the most authoritative sources of inspiration for the contemporary wardrobe, especially thanks to its distinctive street style, far from the more canonical codes of cities like New York and Paris . Here, the language of fashion is experimental, bold and imbued with sophisticated irony, where playful details and unconventional stylistic choices take center stage. This season too, the Danish capital has confirmed its role as a trendsetter with a street style that combines flair and carefree elegance. Dominating the scene were the "no pants" trend, lace stockings , micro bags and a riot of charms applied to bags . Some of these trends have consolidated as true pillars of contemporary style, while others emerge forcefully to redraw the rules of urban clothing.

Fashionistas brave the harsh Danish winter with micro shorts and exposed briefs , layered in bold ways. The “no pants” trend has continued its rise for over a year, becoming an aesthetic manifesto of emancipation and self-confidence. Just like the phenomenon of transparent clothing, what once seemed transgressive is now an established stylistic choice, a fresh and irreverent interpretation of contemporary sensuality. In Copenhagen , the trend took on new nuances: lace or coloured tights worn under structured blazers, barely there micro shorts under oversized coats and, for the most daring, trench coats paired exclusively with sheer stockings, creating tapered and elegant silhouettes. Paired with high boots or kitten heels, this trend proves it can adapt and renew. In 2025, pants are now an option, not a necessity.

Bags are getting smaller and smaller , while charms take center stage. The diktat of Copenhagen street style is clear: the more charms, the better . Each bag is transformed into a miniature work of art, decorated with eccentric pendants ranging from cartoon characters like Snoopy to actual micro bags hooked together, creating a play of volumes and layers. For purists of the trend, the only true micro bag is the one that defies all functional logic : so tiny that it can barely hold a mint, but perfectly designed to leave its mark. If its practicality is questionable, its aesthetic impact is indisputable: the mini bag confirms itself as the statement accessory par excellence.

Forget leopard and mob wife-style spotted prints, because the new animalier for autumn/winter 2025 has a rural soul. The cow print has been spotted on fur coats, structured trench coats and voluminous outerwear, establishing itself as the distinctive element to face the cold with personality. The secret of its success lies in the perfect balance between eccentricity and versatility. The sharp contrast of black and white gives character without being excessive, making it a bold but surprisingly wearable choice. What makes this trend irresistible is its ability to combine style and functionality. With the arrival of winter, fashion is increasingly moving towards outerwear that guarantees warmth without sacrificing visual impact. Worn over monochromatic looks or combined with materials such as leather and knit, cow print coats are a candidate to become a new winter classic, well beyond the whim of a season.

Once relegated to ski slopes and extreme temperatures, the balaclava is now a winter wardrobe must-have. This headpiece, which combines functionality and style, has been revisited in knitted versions and models embellished with fur trim, becoming the perfect ally for facing the cold without sacrificing glamour. At the same time, the scarf has made a comeback in a refined and nostalgic guise. The silk models, tied under the chin, evoke an aesthetic that mixes the glamour of old Hollywood with contemporary streetwear. In Copenhagen, these accessories have been interpreted in two ways: tight around the face for a minimalist and sophisticated effect, or draped nonchalantly for a retro reference. In addition to protecting from the cold, they have added a touch of timeless elegance to every look.
