Scandi Girls Are Always Setting Trends—5 They're Especially Into Right Now

If you've ever glanced at a street style roundup, you've definitely encountered a familiar scene: Thora Valdimars and Jeanette Friis Madsen strolling side by side looking impossibly cool. Considering Copenhagen's ability to set the trends, it's no coincidence that both ladies are Danish. Aside from being the reigning queens of Scandi street style, Valdimars and Friis Madsen are the talented designers behind one of my favorite Danish brands: Rotate Birger Christensen. Since they're entrenched in the Copenhagen fashion landscape both behind the scenes and in front of the camera, I thought they'd be the perfect people to tap for Scandi-approved spring style tips.

I've attended Copenhagen Fashion Week three times now, and Rotate is reliably the show with the highest energy and best dance party vibes. The brand's most recent show for F/W 20, of course, was no exception. But before we delve into fall, we're excited to talk about what's right in front of us: spring trends. Valdimars and Friis Madsen told us their three best style tips for this season, and you'd be wise to take notes.

In keeping with the theme, I've also included pieces by Rotate as well as several other Scandinavian brands that show at Copenhagen Fashion Week—including Rains, Ganni, Stine Goya, Remain Birger Christensen, and Munthe.

"For spring, our key color is definitely orange," Valdimars and Friis Madsen told Who What Wear. "We feel like it's been kind of a forgotten gem, which is ready to be truly brought out in the sun and on the dance floor. In general, we will both be wearing a lot of bright colors this season: purple, orange, yellow."

"Danish women are becoming more and more daring, so we believe we will see a lot of leather trench coats," Valdimars and Madsen told us. "We've already been through multiple variations of the leather jacket, so we feel it's time to make it more dramatic." 

"It's all in the details. An amazing belt with an eye-catching buckle will elevate your party dress," the duo told us. 

Next, four color trends women are wearing in Tokyo, Paris, and Amsterdam.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
