STHLM VS. CPH

Two fashion cities of Scandinavia. Copenhagen and Stockholm. Both with a world known fashion scene. But which is bigger and better when it comes to fashion? Where can you find most inspiration? What city is more fashion forward? And what trends do we see? Haku Heroes have studied www.copenhagenstreetstyle.dk and www.stockholmstreetstyle.feber.se and found that street style is definatly more documented in Sweden. Sweden is way ahead of Denmark when it comes to street style pages who are uploading pictures but danish ones are hard to find. Does this mean that the street style in Denmark is close to nonexisting? Let's have a look.

STOCKHOLM STREET STYLE:

Cute outfit, we love the red chequed shirt but maybe a bit boring? To be on a streetstyle site that is...

This girl has a lot going on. The leather jacket is hot the other stuff is a bit distracting. 

WE LOVE this look. Sofisticated yet minimalistic and animalistic :) Very stylista... but fashion forward? Not really.

This was the only descent dressed guy we could find on stockholstreetstyle.feber.se, he is pretty cool though! All dressed in black with dark brown acessories. The hat is a winner.

This girl is cool! Reminds us a bit of the Amanda Berg outfit in an earlier post on HH.

COPENHAGEN:

This girl has probably borrowed her boyfriends jeans shirt. That is so cool and relaxed.

Wow, we have not seen any pants like this anywhere yet. H&M have t-shirts in the same style but pants... Different coloured legs. That's really something new and cool! Imagine taking it further with stockings and leggings with different coloured legs. Maybe in stores 2009?

This is the CPH version of a man dressed in black. Overall there were a lot more well-dressed men on the cph site. This guy really plays with different materials and layering in his outfit which is pretty important if you dress completly in one colour. The scarf is amazing and the shiny pants are daring!


This is a typical Copenhagen look. The indie rock style is huge. This guy has noticed and takes on the trend with a red white striped long sleeve t-shirt under a tweed jacket and grey used washed jeans.

This girl plays with colours and layering. The dress over jeans is so HH. We love to be able to use our favourite summer dresses when it gets colder with a nice pair of slim jeans.

CONCLUSION:

The street fashion in Copenhagen is very much alive. Unfortunatley not too many people keeps a record of it an publish it online. Maybe Haku Heroes will take on that challange someday soon? We find the Stockholm street fashion smart and sofisticated but a bit dull and safe. We like people who challenge themselves and goes a bit further than everyone else. The fact that men's fashion is so much better in Copenhagen makes the city a winner in this little competition. Dare to be different Swedes and maybe you'll win next time :)

Love,
