Monochromatic hues are synonymous with classic Nordic style as a simple pairing of black and white is the easiest way to capture a minimalistic feel. Opt for staple pair of black leather trousers, a boxy white top and complement further with a pair of white heels.

Flats

If you‘re trying to master true Scandinavian feeling dressing, then a pair of flats are a must. They quite possibly became a Scandi wardrobe staple due to all of their cobbled roads making a pair of heels an almost impossible choice but somehow they’ve managed to make them cool. They’ve taught us that we don’t have to finish our outfits with a pair of heels to infuse our looks with an air of cool!

Nordic style is famous for its androgynous vibe; be it the girls borrowing oversized or tailored pieces from the boys, or the boys mixing up their outfits with a feminine touch. Team a pair of tailored trousers with a shirt and oversized coat to get the look, and who knows maybe you can even raid your boyfriend’s wardrobe rather than splash out on something new.
