Stockholm’s effortless blend of minimalism and functionality makes it a hub for fashion inspo. Whether you’re planning a visit or just love the vibe, my curated list of outfit ideas will help you channel that quintessential Scandinavian style!
Stockholm Fashion Inspiration For Fall & Winter
We love gathering outfit inspiration from places like Paris and Copenhagen, but there’s another chic city worth having on your fashion radar: Stockholm.
The streets of Stockholm are buzzing with modern, minimalist outfits and effortless basics that are timeless but never boring. Stockholm women are usually walking or cycling, which means their fall and winter outfits need to be practical. Whether they’re café hopping or exploring the city’s many museums, they’ve mastered the art of creating fire outfits in freezing temperatures.
Get inspiration for your own fall and winter wardrobe with the Stockholm fashion below. From cozy coats to stylish layering, I’m sharing 16+ outfits, plus styling tips for achieving that Scandi chic look in the cold.
Gray trousers, burgundy knit + wool coat.
If you’re visiting Stockholm in the fall or winter, consider wearing this outfit on your trip.
This year, Vogue deemed burgundy a new neutral that adds a subtle pop of color to your outfit while playing nice with all your other neutrals. This warm, wine-colored hue looks especially chic with cool tones, as seen on Oksana!
A rusty red sweater, like this one from Cos looks so autumnal paired with gray trousers. Gray trousers are one item you’ll see every Scandi girl live in, especially during the colder months. They can be dressed down with sneakers or elevated with pointed-toe boots and a long wool coat.
I love how versatile this outfit is! It works for countless occasions, whether you’re heading to the office, out to dinner, or wandering around art galleries.
Fifty shades of gray.
You won’t often see Stockholm natives roaming the streets in sweatpants or athleisure; they’re much more likely to wear something like this.
Throwing this outfit together is just as easy as wearing a sweatshirt and leggings, but it’s much more elevated. Start with wide-leg trousers—this pin-striped pair is so sleek! Next, layer this Quince cozy half-zip knit sweater over a white tee. Opting for a monochromatic color palette isn’t revolutionary, but it does ensure your outfit feels intentional.
Don’t sleep on accessories! Prada sunglasses, pointed-toe boots, and a long grey slouch coat help pull the entire look together.
Camel coat, scarf + blue jeans.
While bold colors and prints are hallmarks of Copenhagen style, minimalist outfits and neutral colors are the bread and butter for Stockholm fashion.
Think classic denim, oversized coats, chic black boots, and flawless tailoring. You can easily recreate Adriana’s signature look with straight-leg 501 jeans, a basic grey cashmere sweater, a long camel coat, and sleek black ankle boots. Grab a classy handbag and wrap a scarf around you for extra warmth.
Side of butter yellow.
Will you pass the butter? Butter yellow, that is.
This color was huge in 2024 and isn’t expected to go away anytime soon! I love how this creamy hue adds a fun but wearable pop of color to a tried-and-true Scandi girl outfit of a dark chocolate brown suede jacket, grey trousers(see I told you these were popular!), and colorful sneakers like these Adidas Originals.
Incorporate butter yellow into your outfit with a cute scarf, this popular-among-Scandi’s shoulder bag, and shoes. Or why not wear all three like Linda!
Trousers, chunky cardigan + sneakers.
Gray knits are a staple in a Scandi woman’s autumn-winter wardrobe. To elevate a simple gray cardigan and achieve that effortlessly cool Stockholm style, take notes from Clariza’s styling book.
Opt for an oversized knit (this affordable cashmere cardigan from Quince is a best-seller) and layer it over any white tee. Baggy dark gray trousers are the perfect juxtaposition to casual Adidas Sambas and trendy sunglasses. And because it’s cold, don’t forget a cozy wool coat!
Unexpected color.
Rain or shine, baggy jeans are a non-negotiable for Swedish women. Not only is a relaxed bottom more comfortable, but it gives any outfit an effortless vibe.
Make this outfit even more laid-back by swapping the baggy off-white jeans for flowy pants (another Stockholm style essential). Knit sweaters and cozy pullovers are also well-loved by Scandinavians when the weather gets colder (I adore this fuzzy gray one from Toteme – it’s a worthy splurge, but here’s an affordable alternative from H&M.)
While Stockholm style isn’t too bold with color in the fall and winter, Scandi girls do love incorporating a fun accessory. Bring an unexpected color to your outfit with a cute shoulder bag—this orange one is insanely good!
Faded jeans + barn jacket.
You don’t have to be a real Scandi girl to dress like one. This next outfit encapsulates Stockholm style beautifully, so take notes!
Stockholm-based @adrianaheglewicz started with a simple outfit of faded black jeans and a black tee shirt (you could also create this with an all-white base). From there, she layered a classic gray cardigan and an army green barn/chore jacket (I adore this one from Toteme, but this affordable option is great too!).
Finish with coordinating accessories that pull in colors from your outfit’s main pieces. In the colder months, swap your go-to short-sleeve shirt for more insulated long sleeves or thermal layers.
Cable knit sweater, denim + long coat.
Here’s another timeless Stockholm outfit you’ll want to add to your inspo board.
There is something so winter esc about jeans and a cream cable knit sweater. A long black wool coat and shearling-lined boots will see you through the cold winter in style. 90s sunnies and a shoulder bag are the perfect casual yet elevated accessories.
I would wear this outfit on the weekend while window shopping, having way too many coffees, and catching up with friends.
Pop of leopard print.
If you’re wondering what the cool girls are wearing in Stockholm, it’s leopard print! This animal print turned neutral is surprisingly easy to incorporate into your winter wardrobe.
Ingrid wore this fierce outfit while bopping around the city. The Ganni leopard jeans (here’s a more affordable alternative) are obviously the star of the show, but feel perfectly balanced with Scandi staples like a cropped sweater and a vintage leather bomber jacket (this one isn’t vintage, but it has that look).
Animal print can easily be over the top, so the key to nailing this look is to be as effortless as possible.
Keep it simple.
Achieving that cool girl Stockholm style doesn’t require a ton of pieces, and these outfits prove it.
The winter uniform for most Scandi girlies includes jeans, warm sweaters, tailored coats, and chic accessories like leather mittens and knitted balaclavas. Ultra Mini Classic Uggs are a great everyday shoe that’s comfortable and warm enough for spending lots of time outside, while black boots are a perfect elevated option.
Trench coat, cozy cardigan + sneakers.
Most people living in Stockholm either walk, cycle, or take public transportation when traveling throughout the city. So it’s vital that their clothing is comfortable and practical, especially in the colder months.
Relaxed denim is a core of Stockholm fashion simply because it’s more comfortable than tighter-fitting styles. Heavier layers like cardigans and lighter layers like trench coats (this one is a perfect option from Mango) mean you can take off items as you get warmer or throw on extra layers on cooler days.
Fur coat, light wash jeans + Ugg boots.
If you learn one thing from Scandinavian style icons, it is to not be afraid of taking fashion risks! Incorporating punchy prints, loud colors, or out-there fabrics will take your outfit from basic to breathtaking.
Take Nicole’s outfit, for example! In this winter ensemble, the faux fur jacket makes the outfit. Paired with laid-back pieces like platform Uggs and raw-hem denim, it’s all the more reason to add a (faux) fur coat to your wardrobe this season.
Business on top.
This next Stockholm outfit is one I will absolutely be recreating in 2025—it’s so simple but chic.
Stockholm style blurs the lines between traditional masculine and feminine fashion. Androgynous pieces and oversized silhouettes are key for nailing the city’s aesthetic!
I love how Sofia layered a white button-down with a gray cable knit sweater for a sweet academic aesthetic. Style with Levi’s classic bootcut jeans, brown suede booties, and a chic brown shoulder bag for an ultra-cozy weekend look.
Long fur coat, turtleneck + suede bag.
This next look is giving total polar bear vibes (made chic).
Stockholm winters are both cold and fashionable, so why not invest in a coat (like this one) that makes you the most stylish (and cozy) person in the room? When styling, you’ll find that the coat does most of the work for you—just stick to classic pieces like dark wash denim and a cream turtleneck underneath.
Scandi fashion is all about mixing and matching textures, so opt for a suede bag and leather gloves to give your look dimension.
Black mini dress, blazer + tall boots.
Do Scandi girls wear dresses? Of course! Stockholm style is all about those tried and tested pieces that will never go out of fashion. When I think of wardrobe staples, I picture the outfit above!
A LBD you feel good in is something you can reach for season after season, even in the chillier months. For autumn, style with tights, tall leather boots, and a warm oversized wool blazer. And yes, you can still wear a mini dress in winter—just be sure to grab a long wool coat on your way out the door!
