From their expressive use of bold colour to their willingness to experiment with prints and pattern combinations, there's no denying that Scandinavian women are amongst some of the coolest dressers in the world. In recent years, Scandi girls have become a style inspiration globally, with many articles popping up about how to emulate their looks.
Of course, the inimitable cool factor of the Scandi style set is only enhanced by the equally impressive brands that are being founded within the region. From established labels like Ganni and Cecilie Bahnsen to newer kids on the block including The Garment, there is no shortage of chic brands to choose from. With Copenhagen Fashion Week in full swing, we thought there would be no better time to bring you a list of the Scandi brands we can't get enough of. Keep scrolling and shop below.

Perhaps one of the most well-known Scandi brands, Ganni is a fashion powerhouse based in Copenhagen that counts just about every influencer and editor as a fan. With a massive fan base labeled the 'Ganni Girls', the brand has become a recent hit all over social media.

Samsøe Samsøe
A brand that was originally founded in 1993 in Copenhagen's infamous jewellery district, Samsøe Samsøe describes itself as "an international fashion brand rooted in Scandinavian simplicity," and that couldn't be more accurate. The brand is now a prominent leader in its own wearable aesthetic that combines utilitarian ease with quintessential Scandi spirit.
Stine Goya
Stine Goya began her label in 2006 to create an antidote to the muted colour palette and minimalism that had become synonymous with Scandi style. The result is a joyful range of clothing that celebrates vibrant colours and bold prints, just guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
