I’m extremely lucky to be able to travel for my job, and there happens to be one corner of the world that lures me back more often than any other location: Scandinavia. In the last two years, I’ve been to Stockholm three times and Copenhagen twice while attending Stockholm and Copenhagen Fashion Week, as well as the Copenhagen Fashion Summit. I seemingly make the 11-hour journey from Los Angeles so often that my co-workers joke that I must have a secret family over there. (I don’t, but I do have Swedish ancestry!)
During my time in Scandinavia, I’ve picked up more than a few outfit pointers from stylish Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian women. Overall, they’ve inspired me to be bolder and more creative with my outfits. What does that mean exactly? For starters, I began swapping basic outerwear pieces for livelier versions, like a shimmering metallic coat or a puff-sleeve plaid topper. I’ve also learned to not rely on my blue jeans so often and experiment with the color wheel a bit more. Scroll down to learn the wardrobe changes I’ve made inspired by Scandinavian style.
