Scandinavian fashion, just like French fashion, is known for its chicness. Scandinavian fashion has a reputation for minimalistic style. Scandi style primarily focuses on structured and well-made pieces.
Nordic women’s style is emulated around the world. Luckily, their style is easy to replicate. Nordic women shun trendy pieces and focus on simple pieces. I guarantee you that you have at least one, if not all of the pieces I highlight below, in your closet.
Effortlessness is key for replicating Scandi style. Scandinavian fashion encourages wearing timeless staples again and again. The style it about contrast and silhouettes, balancing the masculine and the feminine.
I have found three pieces that exemplify Nordic winter fashion: a black coat, grey trousers, and a white turtleneck sweater. Each of these staples can be worn separately or in combination to achieve maximum Scandinavian style.
Scroll below to see how Scandi women style these pieces.
