Sören and Jenny: Well, Copenhagen is really into weird stuff. Henrik Vibskov can get away with dressing like a Tyroler from head to toe and no one will even give him a second glance on the street. People are used to seeing weird outfits all the time, but some stuff is still way over the top.Which outfit beats the Vibskov-Fullbody-Tyroler-Condom then?
Last week we photographed a girl wearing a tangerine-skirt, a jade-green jacket, and a crazy colored toy-inspired necklace teamed with huge pink sneakers and a crazy updo reminiscent of little My in the Mumin-fairytale. It's not something we'd wear ourselves but we both thought it was pretty ballsy to wear something so colorful and crazy in Copenhagen, a city that's obsessed with muted colors and 90s aesthetics.
Well, this girl had the right attitude to go with it and that's what made it look so cool! She looked like a frowning three-year-old girl that didn't get her way in the supermarket.So what are the girls into that didn't get stuck in their Mumin-phase?
A lot of girls are wearing cut-off boyfriend jeans or casual shorts teamed with gigantic cardigans and recently we've started noticing that many of them wear cycle-shorts underneath, which looks so-so. Copenhagen is very much into the simple lines and the scruffiness of the 90's at the moment. The neo-grunge look has really hit it here big-time, and oversize has always been a huge obsession here, even before it became a trend. We don't have a clue why, really. It might be that Copenhageners like to see themselves as really relaxed, urban, and casual folks.

The worst dressed person was probably a girl wearing winter clothes during last week's heatwave. Sadly, we don't have a photo. She was seriously wearing wooly tights, boots and a huge winter coat. She looked very uncomfortable too. And I'm sure she must have had some mental breakdown that day. Apart from that we'd generally say that people who buy into a trend and don't really reflect over it are bad-dressed—people who don't use their head and find something that suits them and is personal.BARBARA DABROWSKA
