Convenience, sleek design and versatility - all this is a Scandinavian style. We get to know more about the peculiarities of the fashion of the most northern peoples and we wind on a mustache.
Minimalism

Geometric cut, intricate designs and many details of the Scandinavians decided to leave to designers from other countries. Northern style is distinguished by the simplicity of forms and laconicism of models. At Copenhagen Fashion Week, sophisticated and fancy outfits gave way to high-quality and restrained images.
Natural fabrics

Scandinavia is famous for its love of comfort and concern for the environment, so the fashion of the north combined both. For example, in Sweden there are Swedish Hasbeens and Gudru brands that take care of nature. Designers are trying to minimize the harm done to the planet and at the same time use only natural fabrics that perfectly retain heat. In the northernmost part of the hemisphere, clothes made of cotton, cashmere and linen will certainly not be superfluous in a woman’s wardrobe.
Natural colors

It is unlikely that in the wardrobe of the Scandinavian you will find many bright and catchy colors. The Scandinavian style is notable for the naturalness of not only fabrics, but also colors. It is characterized by the monochrome images.The main shades here are white and black. Additionally, khaki, gray, beige or other neutral tones can be used.
This trend is picked up by many famous brands, especially those who are related to conscious fashion. For example, Stella McCartney has long been trying to use calm shades in her collections.
Versatility

The Scandinavians are adherents of the so-called "slow fashion", which involves rational consumption. Almost all the clothes of Scandinavian designers are basic. Wardrobe items are interchangeable and easily combined with each other. Due to restraint in colors, things remain relevant for many seasons. Therefore, the northern fashionistas were not touched by the torment that the girls are experiencing, parting with their beloved cardigan because of an outdated print. On the contrary, the most popular thing in the wardrobe of a Scandinavian girl is a classic white blouse that never goes out of style.

Layering

The Scandinavian style is not alien to the now fashionable layering of images. This is not surprising, the style that came to us from the north should be distinguished by a special attitude to heat. When everywhere there are snowdrifts and wind from all sides, you will have to learn how to dress not only stylishly, but also warmly.
Prints

@ lisa.olssons
You might think that the Scandinavian style is not inherent patterns, it is not. There are prints here, but they also correspond to the philosophy of minimalism. In the images you can find only restrained, classic prints, for example, a cage or a strip. Although there are still unusual patterns on knitted things, for example, braids, characteristic ornaments or deer known to all.But even in this case, the pattern is designed in a calm color scheme. The mix of Scandinavian-style prints is taboo. If there is a pattern in the image, then it should be only one.
Accessories and shoes

Details are important in any way, even minimalist. Of course, the rules of simplicity and tranquility must be observed when selecting accessories. Scandinavian style involves restrained jewelry made of cold metals, comfortable shoes in basic colors and accessories made of natural materials. One of the main details of the fashionable image in the Scandinavian style - voluminous scarves. This accessory is not only very relevant in cold countries, but also looks great with restrained outerwear of this style.

Even bold street brands and impudent Scandinavian designers, for the most part, adhere to the rules of minimalism, although in some collections avant-garde trends began to be slightly traced. So we can expect that the northernmost continent will soon try not only in minimalism, but also in the completely opposite direction - the avant-garde fashion. Scandinavian avant-garde will necessarily have its own characteristics, unusual for other countries, and will become an original course, which was once the Scandinavian minimalism.
