Scandi-Style: The Best Eyewear Looks of Copenhagen Fashion Week SS22

Copenhagen Fashion Week is the first fashion week in the bi-annual round-up and it has its own special vibe. On the one hand, this is because many people in Scandinavia have a distinct flair for fashion. On the other hand, Copenhagen is one of the most important design cities in the world, and you can feel that at every crossroads and in every café. Are you hungry for style now? Then read on because we have gathered the best outfits of this year’s CPHFW for you – finest glasses and sunglasses included.

Accent Colours and Seventies Vibes

Copenhagen Fashion Week SS22 had little to do with the much-vaunted Scandinavian minimalism, but a lot of hipster flair came into play in the form of crochet tops, patterned blouses and colourful, flowing trousers. In a word: colour! Clothes, lips, glasses – for the Scandi Girls it has to pop at the moment, preferably in pink, orange, ocean blue or frog green (like here at Søren Le Schmidt). But, of course, the minimalist styles for which the Scandinavians have become famous were still present. In other words: outfits in nude shades, in white or black (or combined), which stand out with refined cuts and extravagant details.

The looks are given the finishing touch by selected statement pieces and eye-catchers such as unusual sunglasses. Models with yellow and orange tinted lenses or frames in bright colours like green, orange or pink. These are either used as a contrast to minimalist styles or they are used as an expressive colour-blocking element.

The Sunglasses Trends of the Fashion Week

When it comes to shapes, variety is king. The Danes are currently going for oversized retro frames, extremely narrow cat-eye styles or sporty sunglasses in visor style – whatever pimps the outfit is allowed. Aviator models with a distinctive double bridge are still in vogue, as are round Panto glasses, which actually flatter almost every face shape. And of course, along with the Seventies revival, circular glasses and sunnies are still very popular. These are also popular for men, too, by the way, as could be seen at the runway show by Danish flagship designer Henrik Vibskov.

The latest trend, which we can’t wait to see if it will catch on elsewhere, is oversized sunglasses inspired by ski and sports eyewear. A real fashion statement that needs to be combined wisely. Sunglasses with white frames are less difficult to wear, but no less attention hungry. And if you prefer a subtle yet fashionable look, you can go for models with a tortoise or havana pattern, either in a round or pointed geometric shape.
