The 2 Things I Packed to Master Scandi Style in Copenhagen
You've heard us wax poetic about stylish French and Italian women on many occasions, but they're far from the only well-dressed women in Europe. I recently traveled to Copenhagen and was in awe of the effortlessly stylish ladies of all ages everywhere I looked. I love wearing local brands whenever I travel—I also wore Colombian brands head-to-toe in Cartagena—so I challenged myself to give Scandi style a try for my trip.
I immediately knew I had to pack my two favorite Danish brands: Stine Goya and Ganni. Specifically, a colorful striped sweater from the former and a checked blazer from the latter. Both brands are masters of fun patterns in their own unique ways, so I thought they'd be the perfect transition into Scandi style, which has been moving away from the minimal, monochrome vibe you may associate with the region (thanks, Ikea). Curious to see how I did? Scroll down to see how I styled the two Copenhagen brands in their hometown.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
