@sidselallingThere is something about an unexpected pop or mix of colors that brings me so much joy. It could be a bright bag or shoes added to a minimal and monochrome outfit or a cool color combo (like Sidsel's above) that always leaves me wondering why I hadn't thought of that mix.

@ninasandbechOne thing is undeniable when it comes to style in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and the like—stylish flat shoes reign supreme. Whether it's ballet flats, chunky booties, sneakers, strappy sandals, loafers, or clogs, these comfortable shoe styles are the go-to, no matter the occasion.
Am I the only one who has a hard time scoring great Adidas sneakers?

@pernilleteisbaekI am the queen of comfort, so I am not mad at the fact that there is a whole community of fashion people that consider sporty pieces as chic, elevated options for everyday looks. And this was all before the pandemic amped up everyone's athleisure game to the max.
I picture this top with jeans or a cool skirt.

@amaka.hamelijnckThere's an ease that Europeans, especially Scandinavians, have when styling luxe staples like button-downs, linen pants, sweaters, silk dresses, etc. The ensembles always look comfortable yet polished with a touch of whimsy.
I ordered this button-down shirt as soon as I saw it.
Pair with cool flat shoes and you are in business.

@fiahamelijnckCool dresses and European It girls go hand in hand in my book. Whether it's a simple dress or one in a vibrant color or standout print, they are bound to be painfully cool.

@pernilleteisbaekIf you haven't caught on by now, I am a huge fan of outfits that have a fun, playful vibe. Europeans stylishly (and confidently) pull this off with the help of a whimsical bag or accessories like ruffled ankle socks and a quirky hat.
