Five trends from Copenhagen Fashion Week you can wear at any age

To add sculptural intrigue to any outfit, throw on an artfully proportioned jacket. Get crafty with trompe l’oeil: lengthen your bottom half by wearing a cropped jacket with a high-waisted bottom or dress, as with this fashion week guest above. 

To create a slimming effect on your bottom half, opt for an oversized jacket – big blazers were big business on the streets of Copenhagen this season – with many attendees mixing the traditionally corporate item with more delicate pieces, like lace slips. 

At ROTATE Birger Christensen, Madsen and Valdimarsdottir design with proportion play in mind: “We’ve started to factor ultra-feminine shapes into our collections: hourglass silhouettes, cinched waists, delicate fabrics and colours. We love the contrast of these very elegant shapes next to oversized, more masculine forms.”
