For the past couple of days, I’ve been planning my outfits for Copenhagen Fashion Week, mimicking the cool, Danish girls who have that effortless style I can’t seem to master. While I can’t copy their secret sauce, I can steal their sartorial inspiration, opting to take their approach to winter outerwear.
When it comes to coat trends, Scandinavians have practically mastered the art of minimalist dressing. Think sleek, timeless pieces that slot seamlessly into any wardrobe and stay relevant for years. Whether it’s a perfectly tailored leather trench or a cozy, oversized wool coat, these styles are built to last—both in quality and cool factor. Classic colors like deep neutrals, rich blacks, and soft browns are a signature of the Scandinavian aesthetic, making every piece feel effortlessly chic.
Below, scroll through and see all of the chic, minimalist coat trends the Scandi style set is wearing this winter. Trust me, all of these are already sitting in my cart in anticipation of the surge of cool girl street style we’ll see in just a few weeks time.
Funnel Neck Coats
Phoebe Philo’s impact on trends can’t be denied, even years after dominating the minds of industry insiders. Last fall, the British designer released several swaddled, incredibly chic high-neck coats under her namesake label and, naturally, fashion listened. The trend has picked up steam since and, of course, is beloved by all minimalist Scandis aiming to nail that effortless look.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, yes, we’re still basking in the era of the viral Toteme scarf coat. Each winter, the Scandinavian brand’s signature contrast-stitch silhouette dominates our feeds, and this season is no exception. After last year’s meteoric rise across TikTok (RIP!), other brands have caught on, weaving their own chic, yet functional scarf details into outerwear designs.

Leather coats are having a major moment, and frankly, we’re here for it. From sleek, buttery soft trenches to slouchy, oversized silhouettes, these elegant pieces are a masterclass in cool outerwear. This season, the leather coat is no longer just for edgy nights out in all black—Scandis are opting to add neutral alts into their wardrobe instead of the traditional black options.
