How to dress like a local in Copenhagen? All Danish rules applied
Danish love black color, so pack all your black clothes
Well to be very honest, black is the favorite color of all the Scandinavians. However, it was Danes who made them a fashion statement. Danes wear a lot of black clothing, and for all the good reasons too. It is due to the cold that this part of the world observes. As black absorbs more heat and keeps them warm. However, black has become a symbol of fashion is not only Scandinavia and Denmark, but also the whole world.
Danish fashion designers and different brands make a lot of clothes in black color. So if you are visiting Denmark and Copenhagen anytime soon, do keep many black dresses in your backpack.
Footwear
Danish cities like Copenhagen rival other European cities like Amsterdam or Stockholm when it comes to being green. Just like these cities, Denmark towns and cities also encourage cycles as the basic form of transportation. However, you just can’t ride a bicycle in your high heels, or formal boots. It just wouldn’t look practical to you or anyone. And we mostly say never bothered by anybody’s opinion. However, when making a fashion statement you should be bothered.
During summers, you can always wear slippers or easy sandals with anything. We recommend you to wear sneakers, as they are fashionable as well as easy to wear. In this way, you can easily walk between destinations and ride a cycle if you need to. But in winters, the temperature always remains below the freezing point and it is highly recommended to stay warm all the time. For this reason, you should use long shoes with extra layers in them.
You can also wear joggers to keep your feet warm when traveling in Denmark, or cycling in Copenhagen or any other city. The weather is always going to be unpredictable in this Scandinavia country, so it is better you prepare yourself for everything that can happen in a day. Make sure your shoes are waterproof to some extent so that you can easily stay dry and warm even in the harshest snow, or cold
Multiple layers of clothes
Whenever packing for a Danish trip, it is important to know that it is going to be very cold. If you live in a warm or temperate country, then even the summers will be very cold for you. So for this reason, you need to pack some inner thermals in order to protect yourself from chilly winds and cold temperature. Copenhagen has a high humidity in the air, and winds can always change at any time. So, it can go from a warm and bright sunny day, to cold and rainy in a matter of few minutes. Even the locals dress with different layers of warm thermals and clothing around them. They also carry waterproof layers, and umbrellas with them all the time. So we highly recommend you to pack at least one umbrella and waterproof jacket or poncho.
But with so many layers, we still don’t want you to forget about making a fashion statement. Danes are also wearing multiple inner and thermals all the time, but they don’t compromise on fashion at all. So for this reason, try to find thermals and inner layers of matching colors. Also, make sure your clothes are skin tight and stretchy so that you either don’t look fat or you have any problem wearing them.
Designers and brands
Citizens of Copenhagen, Denmark are crazy about wearing brands and designer wear. So it is imperative to find about their likings with a little research before shopping for your Denmark trip, and buy clothes of those brands and designer lines. Then you can move around in the streets of Copenhagen, or any other Danish city, looking just like a Dane on a sightseeing tour. In this way, the local public will also love you for your dressing, and you will also know the art of dressing like a local in Copenhagen.
