What to Wear in Denmark

The warm, saturated plaster of the historic waterfront townhouses and inner-city apartment blocks.

Wearing this makes you look like a native part of the golden-hour glow reflecting off the canal walls.

Warm undertones will find this incredibly luminous, while cool tones should opt for it in a lower-half garment.

The oxidized copper roofs and spires of Børsen, Christiansborg Palace, and the city's many historic towers.

This soft sage-adjacent tone provides a sophisticated, low-contrast blend against the city's skyline.

It's a universal neutral that brings out the clarity in fair skin and looks rich against deep complexions.

Traditional wooden doors, window frames, and the deep crimson facades found in the Latin Quarter.

Choose this for a bold pop that commands attention without clashing with the historic surroundings.

The earthy base of this red is remarkably flattering for those with olive or neutral undertones.

The deep, moody waters of the harbor and the painted trim of seaside cottages in Dragør.

Avoid looking washed out by using this dark anchor to ground lighter, more whimsical summer pieces.

Cool and neutral undertones will find this provides a striking, crisp contrast to their skin.
