I've Studied the Runways—These Are the 6 Copenhagen Fashion Week Trends With Lasting Power

Marking the start of fashion’s favourite season, Copenhagen Fashion Week delivered the high-fashion feast we’ve been craving since February. In typical Scandi fashion, the runways delivered plenty of sharp silhouettes, refined colour palettes and floaty designs all of which had the Who What Wear group chat buzzing all week.

In a sea of stylish ensembles, a few major trends floated up above the rest. Spotted across a range of collections, these major runway moments mark next summer’s most in-demand buys. I’ve studied the runways so that you don’t have to. Read on to discover the 6 major runway trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week S/S 2025 here.

1. X-RAY VISION

Style Notes: Guazy dresses, see-through shirts and transparent tailoring peppered runway collections this season. Domino Tan layered sheer blouses over minimalistic bras whilst OpéraSPORT went without. Appearing across a spattering of collections, the transparent fashion trends nods to the slow embrace of a more daring side of styling.

2. GREEN GODDESS

Style Notes: Praising nature’s beauty by means of a fresh colour trend, khaki, olive and forrest green shades were key player across the Copenhagen runways. Often styled from head-to-toe, the green colour trend permeated collections—cementing the shade as a new-season staple.

3. A CASE FOR CAPRIS

Style Notes: There’s no doubt about it—the capri pants trend is here to stay. Styled in a relaxed manner across a number of collections Copenhagen has asserted that, if they aren’t already—capri pants will be in your wardrobe by summer 2025.

4. PUCKERED PERFECTION

Style Notes: Pretty pleats thrived on the runway this season, ushering in a new wave of romantic dressing. Indulging in volume and excess, the emerging trend show us how the Scandi set have interpreted the growing boho trend—and its charming silhouette makes it destined for success.

5. SUMMER LEATHER

Style Notes: An unexpected staple on the runways this year, leather thrived in Copenhagen’s spring/summer shows. Playing with shapes, Lovechild brought us a thigh-length jacket worn sans trousers, whilst Hundred let us know that brown leather is set to be big news next year.
