Bermuda shorts steal Copenhagen spotlight

Marie Claire said Bermuda shorts emerged as one of the clearest street-style signals at Copenhagen Fashion Week this week, with attendees wearing the long, loose shorts in brown leather, green snakeskin and ruby red sequins. The publication said the shape stayed consistent even as fabrics changed: baggy through the leg, cut wide, and falling to the calf. (marieclaire.com) Footwear in the photographed looks ranged from loafers and sandals to high-top sneakers. Copenhagen Fashion Week’s SS27 edition runs from August 3 to August 7 and includes 34 shows and presentations, according to the event organizer. (copenhagenfashionweek.com) ### Why did Bermuda shorts stand out this week? Marie Claire’s August 5 report framed the shorts as a dominant item on the streets outside the shows, rather than a single-runway idea. (assets.copenhagenfashionweek.com) Its examples pushed beyond neutral tailoring into statement finishes, including leather, snakeskin and sequins, while keeping the same elongated silhouette. W Magazine’s street-style coverage from Copenhagen described the broader mood this season as more crafty and eccentric, a setting that helps explain why a familiar item like Bermuda shorts was being worn in louder materials and styling combinations. ### What, exactly, did the silhouette look like? (shopping.yahoo.com) Marie Claire said the shorts were not slim or abbreviated. The versions it highlighted were wide-leg and calf-brushing, with enough volume to read closer to cropped tailoring than to fitted summer shorts. The outlet’s photographed looks paired them with structured shoes such as loafers, open sandals and high-top sneakers. (marieclaire.com) Yahoo’s pickup of the Marie Claire report also said Copenhagen attendees were wearing bolder takes on the look after the trend had already circulated beyond Scandinavia, naming Baum und Pferdgarten, Herskind and By Malene Birger among brands bringing Bermuda shorts back for Spring/Summer 2027. (wmagazine.com) ### Which Copenhagen labels were closest to the conversation? By Malene Birger appeared in W Magazine’s roundup of the best looks from the Copenhagen Spring 2027 runways, placing the brand in the middle of this week’s runway conversation as the street-style trend took shape outside venues. (shopping.yahoo.com) Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official schedule lists By Malene Birger on August 5 at 20:00 CEST. The same official schedule shows The Garment on August 6 at 13:00 CEST and Henrik Vibskov on August 5 at 17:00 CEST. ### Were The Garment and Henrik Vibskov part of the same week? (shopping.yahoo.com) Vogue published collection pages for The Garment and Henrik Vibskov for Copenhagen Spring 2027, matching the labels named in the early coverage around this season’s runways. Search results for those pages surfaced during the week’s coverage, and Copenhagen Fashion Week’s official calendar places both brands on the SS27 schedule. Copenhagen Fashion Week said on May 29 that the SS27 edition marked the event’s 20th anniversary and would feature 34 shows and presentations from August 3 to August 7. (wmagazine.com) CEO Cecilie Thorsmark said at the time that the season would be “a truly distinctive edition.” (assets.copenhagenfashionweek.com) ### What comes next on the calendar? August 7 is the final day of Copenhagen Fashion Week’s SS27 schedule, according to the organizer’s official program. The schedule page remains the main reference point for the remaining shows, presentations, talks and brand activations as the week closes in Copenhagen.
