It's the most wonderful time of the year — Copenhagen Fashion Week! The summer edition kicked off this Monday in the Danish capital, with a roster of designers showing their Spring/Summer 2027 collections.
The runways have been awash with the colour yellow, varying in shades from electric acid to soft butter. But there's no need to wait to try out the trend — here are 5 ways to wear the look now.
Mixing tones and textures
London-based design duo Paolina Russo's show featured yellow throughout, on sheer floral prints, tight t-shirts and patterned denim (all styled with Ecco footwear). Shades varied from warm mustard to bright neon, and this look proves you don't have to choose just one. Clash patterns, prints, and textures for a maximalist take.
A statement dress
Tulle is having a moment, and this lemon-to-white dress from Anne Sofie Madsen is hard to forget. The dress is the whole outfit, no accessories needed — just make the silhouette dramatic.
Lace trims
Underwear adjacent dresses and separates are quite literally owning the summer — every it-girl worth their salt is in a granny nightie or bloomer shorts. Skall's butter yellow cami and midi skirt combo is styled to perfection with raffia shoes, a bead necklace and a floppy hat. This look would work just as well running around in the city as it would sipping an Aperol by the beach.
Trousers and a patterned top
The Royal Danish Academy's MA fashion show featured a stand-out group of next generation talent. Take inspiration from this knitted halter top and block yellow trouser combo — pair with sandals for day and point-toe kitten heels for night.
Polo knit and a sheer skirt
Beloved Scandi brand Stine Goya made its return to the runway after a two year hiatus yesterday, and this look nails transeasonal dressing. As we drift into autumn, a knitted polo with a floaty slip skirt will work nicely in cooler temperatures (although it's hard to imagine in this never ending heat). Chunky Dr Martens will give your yellow look an edge.
