7 Colorful Fall Outfits I’m Copying From Copenhagen
There was a time in my life where I once exclusively wore shades of black. You couldn’t pry my moody teenage self away from my beloved edgy clothes, and color was something I didn’t think fit into my wardrobe. Eventually, I dropped the love for everything black, along with the perpetual attitude and insecurities that came with it. As I got older, I began to embrace color in my wardrobe and now it’s something that brings me joy as I get dressed in the morning.
I was in a bit of a style rut this past summer, but after spending a week in Copenhagen and seeing all the colorful outfits everywhere, I was immediately inspired to be brave with color for fall. Although I love color, I can still be nervous about which shades coordinate with each other and overthink on whether an outfit is too saturated or not. But after seeing a myriad of colors all over the danish city, I realized that getting dressed is supposed to be joyful, and there’s no need to stress out over an outfit.
Since I can’t transport you to Copenhagen myself, I rounded up outfits from the city’s street-style stars to give you a little dose of the colorful looks I saw myself. Here’s to a non-neutral fall!
The #1 color trend I saw in Copenhagen had to be a striking red. You would think I’d be tired of the color by now, but I actually fell in love with it even more after my trip. I especially love how it stands out against moody colors like storm grey or espresso brown.

Butter yellow may seem like a summer color, but I think this one showgoer from CPHFW proves flawlessly that it can easily be transitioned into the fall with the right pairing. I would never think to pair yellow with brown or baby blue, but they all look beautiful with eachother.

When in doubt, focus on one shade range. Why bother finding another colored shirt when the matching green top looks this good?

Cobalt blue is a bright color I never get tired of seeing. I love it year-round, but I have to admit, I truly see it as a fall color, as it pairs best with shades of camel, tan, and brown.
