Real French people I know are like, \u2018There\u2019s not one look. We\u2019re a diverse fashion community, like everybody else,\u201d New York-based fashion director at Saks Global and street style star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chloe4dayz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Chloe King<\/a> says.<\/p>\n<p>When she started traveling to Copenhagen for work, for example, King thought the style would fall into one of two categories: super minimal or typical Ganni girl, with her unabashedly clashing prints. The reality, she soon realized, was a little more nuanced: \u201cThere were girls who came up to me and were like, \u2018Oh, my God, it\u2019s so nice to see color. I love color.\u2019 There are micro communities everywhere, too. Sometimes, that\u2019s a calling card for connection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an increasingly globalized landscape, those long-held stereotypes about fashion tied to specific places (think \u201cParisian style\u201d or \u201cuptown-versus-downtown\u201d NYC dressing) have eroded. Our understanding of how people dress in corners of the world we may not ever get to visit continues to grow and expand. There are some sartorial truisms that locals concede still serve as a bedrock for their wardrobes \u2014 and those might feel more universal than you expect.<\/p>\n<p>This is but the tiniest sliver, speaking to women in just seven cities across two continents, but it offers a peek at the ways different fashion hubs express the realities of their lives through what they wear.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>New York\u2019s Pragmatism<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"New york city street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2026\/5\/29\/44264fce\/new-york-new-york.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Christian Vierig\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"New york city street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2026\/5\/29\/5b2c6324\/new-york-new-york.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Edward Berthelot\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-469605578\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>King moved to New York City a few years after college, after a short postgrad stint in sports marketing, to pursue a career in fashion. Growing up in Boston, she would come into the city often, especially once her sister started working in the theater industry. Those visits solidified for her that NYC \u201cwas a place for real self-expression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always cared about fashion, but I felt like I could really try on new things quite literally but also figuratively,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s such a dense city, and it\u2019s so pressurized, but at the same time, nobody\u2019s looking at you. You can literally be crying on the subway, and nobody\u2019s going to say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That affords its residents a freedom of expression through fashion, and also exposes them to countless ideas and sources of inspiration every time they step out the door. There are two throughlines, though, that connect the wide range of aesthetics you might see throughout the five boroughs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne is pragmatism,\u201d King argues. \u201cIt\u2019s tough just getting through your day, so I really don\u2019t think there\u2019s that precious quality.\u201d You might always have a sturdy shoe (\u201cbecause you\u2019re going to have to walk\u201d) or a more athletic-leaning piece (like a parka or a baseball cap) that grounds an outfit. \u201cOn the other hand,\u201d she continues, \u201cliving in New York is also a performance\u2026 It feels like everyone is really dialed up in who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/amysmilovic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Amy Smilovic<\/a>, author, designer, and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/tibi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Tibi,<\/a> has been in New York since the early \u201990s, and firmly believes that your environment is the biggest determinator of style. (She has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecreativepragmatist.com\/p\/the-definitive-color-guide-to-packing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">a whole guide on which colors to pack<\/a> according to which city you\u2019re traveling to.) Then, there\u2019s your interpretation of where you are and how you present yourself in that context.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was born in the Midwest, raised in the South, moved to Asia, married an Eastern European, and work in New York every day,\u201d Smilovic explains. \u201cEveryone comes from so many different areas. All of that randomness and diversity is the epitome of a New York way of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one item that, to Smilovic, embodies New York style, though, it\u2019s a blazer. (<a href=\"https:\/\/tibi.com\/collections\/liam-roundup?filter.p.m.custom.category=Jackets+%26+Outerwear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Tibi\u2019s Liam Blazer<\/a>, specifically.) \u201cThere&#8217;s something about this city that makes you wanna throw a blazer on,\u201d she says. \u201cA lot of people came to New York with ideas of who they were going to be when they\u2019re working, of them just being this total boss in the office. If you\u2019re younger, the blazer embodies who you want to be; when you\u2019re older, it\u2019s your second skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>L.A.\u2019s Ease<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"los angeles street style \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/2\/7844a335\/640399580_18572258728018633_499258697591122936_n.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/catchmeeksifyoucan\/?hl=en\" class=\"mPC\">@catchmeeksifyoucan<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"los angeles street style \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/2\/e961fbe5\/703131464_18362371240229838_2456618345155354360_n.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DYfgOehDyte\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\" class=\"mPC\">@styledsara<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-469606040\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>L.A. has been a source of fascination and inspiration since the golden age of Hollywood. Its image has been largely shaped by fashion, from the work of the legendary costume houses outfitting iconic characters to the collaborations between designers and their A-list muses (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/culture\/iconic-oscars-looks-dresses\">Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy; Cher and Bob Mackie<\/a>). And it remains a reference for designers and individuals alike: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/dior-cruise-2027-review\">Jonathan Anderson\u2019s first Cruise collection for Dior<\/a>, staged at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in May, brought his love of old Hollywood and the maison\u2019s longstanding relationship with its biggest stars to present-day on the runway.<\/p>\n<p>Born-and-raised Angelino <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/catchmeeksifyoucan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Meeka Hossain<\/a> says that the entertainment business\u2019 deep roots in the city lend a cinematic quality to the way people dress: \u201cClothes express a lot of storytelling \u2014 where you grew up, how you grew up, what you do.\u201d (Hossain, for her part, always comes back to Sharon Stone\u2019s sharp, tailored suiting in <em>Basic Instinct <\/em>as the blueprint.)<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, L.A.\u2019s climate and culture \u2014 \u201cbeing by the beach, always having good weather\u201d \u2014 invite an overall sense of ease, particularly when it comes to what people wear, Hossain argues. In her mind, the prototypical L.A. outfit comes down to jeans and a light knit. \u201cI have so much denim, and all I want to do is buy denim,\u201d she admits.<\/p>\n<p>Surely the dawn of tabloid culture and reality TV shows like <em>Laguna Beach<\/em> helped export this uniform concept in the aughts. But there\u2019s also a deep history there, given the city\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/the-denim-institute-and-museum-wants-to-save-las-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">position as a hub<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/sourcing-journal\/sj-denim\/state-of-los-angeles-denim-manufacturing-star-fades-international-1238840602\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">denim manufacturing in the United States<\/a>. It\u2019s still home to many of fashion\u2019s favorite jean purveyors. However, it\u2019s not a one-piece-fits-all situation: The preferred silhouette varies by neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The Eastside] is definitely more adventurous \u2014 your oversized, acid-wash, ripped jeans,\u201d Hossain explains. \u201cA West Hollywood girl is tailored \u2014 maybe some trousers, some nice-fitted denim, no holes. Venice is boho-chic, so a good pair of loose jeans, but also still expensive, because it\u2019s Venice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the city is famously spread out, each pocket has its own distinct style. \u201cIn Silver Lake, the girls are thrifting, and you&#8217;re seeing vintage, oversized denim,\u201d she says. \u201cYou go to Melrose, and it\u2019s polished. You go from Khaite to Toteme to Staud to Sporty &amp; Rich.\u201d Then, there\u2019s the citywide wellness culture, which means you see activewear across town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just become cool to be yourself here,\u201d Hossain adds. \u201cYou\u2019re noticing the simplicity of a wardrobe\u2026 That\u2019s attracted a lot of people, and you see that in how celebrities are dressing and how influencers are dressing. There\u2019s something cool about just being yourself in your wardrobe. I think L.A. does a good job at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>London\u2019s Eclecticism<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"London street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2026\/5\/29\/fdafce6a\/london-england-february-23.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Annie Raistrick\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"London street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/2\/a7642596\/london-england-february-23.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Kirstin Sinclair\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-469606041\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the fashion industry, London has historically been viewed as the hotbed for what\u2019s next. So many of the emerging names people line up to rally behind come out of its prestigious fashion schools, which are known for encouraging and nurturing boundary-pushing creativity among their cohorts \u2014 an approach that feels very much in line with the punk-rock spirit of the city and lives on in its vintage scene.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/orlaghmccloskey01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Orlagh McCloskey<\/a>, co-founder and creative director of <a href=\"https:\/\/rixolondon.com\/en-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Rixo<\/a>, was a student when she moved to London from Derry, Ireland, and was immediately taken by the secondhand shops. \u201cThe things would actually be quite specific to the \u201970s, that really made London what it was,\u201d she says. There\u2019s an eclecticness and boldness to the clothes you might find that not only sets these assortments apart from what you\u2019d find in other cities, but also encourages experimentation, McCloskey explains. That, paired with the heyday of the British high street \u2014 Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Next \u2014 allowed her to play around and find her footing with fashion as a student.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople could be really resourceful in how they would wear things that weren\u2019t necessarily slapped-on brand names,\u201d she says. \u201cTrue British style was more about the personal eclecticness of an outfit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You see that in some of the city\u2019s most beloved fashion figures \u2014 the Kate Mosses, Sienna Millers, Lily Allens, who \u201chave their own personal taste and it doesn\u2019t really change over the years,\u201d McCloskey argues. \u201cKate Moss has dressed like Kate Moss since Day One. They don\u2019t really change who they are. They\u2019ll take the bits that make them them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are a handful of pieces, though, that feel foundational to London style: a trench coat, a pair of Chelsea boots, an animal print. Londoners don\u2019t shy away from patterns, McCloskey says \u2014 she\u2019s seen that among Rixo customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the U.K., they gravitate towards really bright, emotional prints,\u201d she notes. \u201cThe U.K. customer loves a dress. They\u2019re not afraid to get dressed up and be feminine.

It\u2019s a tailoring city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is something <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tamumcpherson\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Tamu McPherson<\/a> picked up on quickly when she first moved to Milan from the United States in 2005. It felt very formal and familial \u2014 \u201cmothers passing down style to their daughters, the same with men and their sons.\u201d Three things stuck out to the <a href=\"https:\/\/alltheprettybirds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">All the Pretty Birds<\/a> founder early on: Italians know how to mix and match, they\u2019re very well pulled-together (\u201cif you\u2019re going to have that print dress, you\u2019re definitely going to have a cashmere jumper to layer over it that goes with it\u201d), and they have an item for every single occasion (especially when it comes to outerwear).<\/p>\n<p>According to Maccapani, a typical Milanese outfit might involve a \u201cgood, rich, nice cardigan\u201d with a pencil skirt and a thin kitten heel. Silhouettes have gotten more relaxed over time, so you might swap in the top for a slouchier knit, the bottom for a barrel pant, and the heels for ballerina flats or sneakers. McPherson calls out how no one does a white trouser like the Milanese: \u201cI love how Italians wear white jeans in the winter. It\u2019s extremely chic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maccapani describes Milanese style as \u201calways elegant,\u201d while still colorful. \u201cClassic Milanese women can go bold with color and fabrics and silks and rich materials,\u201d she says. She compares it to the city\u2019s architecture: \u201cIt\u2019s quite shy from outside, then you go inside and there\u2019s a beautiful garden with cloisters. There\u2019s always that duality. Milanese don\u2019t like to show off or give away at first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s this energy in Milan where it\u2019s very smooth,\u201d McPherson adds. \u201cEven [when it\u2019s] colorful, there\u2019s a smoothness to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Paris\u2019 Consideration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Paris street style \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/2\/6ad03202\/paris-france-january-23.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Edward Berthelot\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"paris street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/2\/9685e586\/paris-france-march-10.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Moritz Scholz\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-469606043\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.louloudesaison.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Loulou de Saison<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chloe_harrouche_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Chlo\u00e9 Harrouche<\/a>, Paris is core not just to her work, but who she is. \u201cI\u2019m a Parisian, born and raised,\u201d she says. \u201cI love to travel, and I\u2019m so lucky that I can travel very often, but it\u2019s always very important to come back to Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What makes Paris so special, Harrouche argues, is that it\u2019s a city of contrasts \u2014 \u201cthe noise, the density, the beautiful history, the architecture, the cobblestone. It\u2019s all about the details, the little finishings.\u201d That\u2019s what she tries to tap into when designing for Loulou de Saison, the brand she founded in 2019: The clothes aren\u2019t meant to be complicated, but rather something you can reach for every day to go about your life, from work to dinner to wherever else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you wear Loulou de Saison, there\u2019s something about the material and about the fit, you feel immediately different,\u201d she says. \u201cEverybody does \u2018effortless luxury\u2019 now, but it\u2019s not about [being] effortless \u2014 it\u2019s the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is something King picked up on when she worked at The Webster, among a majority-French team. \u201cThere\u2019s this very rich interior life,\u201d she says. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have to be, like, for me, the performance of New York \u2014 those are on different ends of the spectrum. Like, \u2018I don&#8217;t really need to explain myself. I can keep things toned down.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t have to be so gritty or raw or at the surface, which is something that feels New York to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parisian style, Harrouche continues, is about considering every single element that goes into a design in order to achieve balance. It\u2019s not so much about the specific pieces hanging in your closet, but rather how they\u2019re cut, how they\u2019re made, and how long they\u2019ll last. \u201cIt\u2019s a silhouette,\u201d she says, \u201ca way of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Proportion is key \u2014 think pairing a slightly oversized trench coat with a borrowed-from-the-boys feel with fitted-to-you denim. \u201cShe has to be more comfortable, and that comfort gives you elegance in the movement,\u201d she says. Even still, one never compromises the other; the key lies in finding that balance and making space for both.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Copenhagen\u2019s Vibrancy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Copenhagen street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/getty\/2026\/5\/29\/73e3f479\/copenhagen-denmark-august-07.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Raimonda Kulikauskiene\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"copenhagen street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/6\/2\/e6bbc429\/copenhagen-denmark-august-05.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\">Edward Berthelot\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-469606044\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you follow Copenhagen Fashion Week street style, you\u2019ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fashionwithfaith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Imane Asry<\/a>. The Morocco-born, Sweden-raised, now Denmark-based creator is a seasoned, often-photographed showgoer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s such a vibrant city,\u201d she says, and quite different sartorially from Stockholm, where she grew up. \u201cStockholm style is definitely more planned, structured, and very put-together. Scandi style, at its core, is quite neutral and minimal, but the Scandi Stockholm style is more posh. The color scheme is neutral \u2014 like black, white, gray, and beige \u2014 whereas the Copenhagen style has that neutral base, but then you add on the elements. It\u2019s cooler and more laid-back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People in the Danish capital, she continues, aren\u2019t as precious about tailored fits as they might be in her hometown. \u201cIt\u2019s OK if it\u2019s a little bit too short, a bit too long,\u201d she says. \u201cYou see a lot of people wearing oversized clothes.\u201d (Pants especially, she adds.) The way people dress is also highly influenced by the preferred mode of transportation in Copenhagen: biking. (\u201cYou can tell that one pant leg is folded up or tucked into a boot, or you see elastics around the ankle.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Fashion week naturally brings out a more exaggerated, curated version of Danish style, Asry notes. But you can still spot certain elements that are just as prevalent in the off-season. \u201cYou see prints and colors a lot here, but if someone is wearing a bright pink sweatshirt or knit [outside of fashion week], they might be wearing an olive or khaki cargo pant with it,\u201d she explains. Plus, Copenhagen\u2019s love of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/copenhagen-fashion-week-fall-winter-2026-street-style\">voluminous outerwear<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/fashion\/triangle-scarves\">knit scarves<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/living\/copenhagen-travel-guide\">hair clips<\/a> is year-round.<\/p>\n<p>Asry admits she still identifies more with Stockholm\u2019s flavor of Scandi style, but after five years, she\u2019s seen her wardrobe get a little bit more Copenhagen. For one, she wears color now: \u201cUsually, I\u2019ll do my socks, a small detail. Wearing a whole shirt, that\u2019s a stretch for me.\u201d Asry has also embraced the biking lifestyle, so that\u2019s now a consideration when shopping for bottoms and layers. \u201cOne thing I really liked last summer, which I will be continuing this summer, is the balloon pant,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s really handy. You get the volume, but it\u2019s gathered around your ankle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another styling move you\u2019ll spot across the city? \u201cPeople still wear boots during summer here. You could easily see someone wearing a mini skirt or Adidas pants with cowboy boots,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s very Copenhagen.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Madrid\u2019s Boldness<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"DbX\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"B1N\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qmt pm7\">\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"madrid street style \" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/29\/2cc76900\/624822021_18094322638997903_77185997928371485_n.jpeg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DUESIpwjST3\/?img_index=1\" class=\"mPC\">@beatrizdelosmozos<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"IWn\">\n<div class=\"ENZ\">\n<div class=\"pxF XJ- mvL s535723676\">.s535723676{padding-top:125%}@media(min-width:768px){.s535723676{padding-top:125%}}<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"madrid street style\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/5\/29\/e83f457f\/548874907_18069847679189326_4468948749509586679_n.jpg?w=400&amp;h=500&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" class=\"N4z nIy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"EGE\">(+)<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"_-g wvJ\"><cite class=\"AA0\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOj0jF2jKvg\/?img_index=4\" class=\"mPC\">@maravic_collection<\/a><\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-469606046\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"olh\">1\/2<\/div>\n<div class=\"xCo\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button><button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>No matter where in the world she is, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beatrizdelosmozos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Beatriz de los Mozos<\/a> can clock a Spaniard on the street based solely on how they\u2019re dressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very playful with fabrics and colors,\u201d she says. \u201cFor some reason, we have a natural connection with color. We\u2019re happy to combine and mix it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/flabelus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Flabelus<\/a> founder explains that, in Madrid, an outfit will still feel pretty classic, but it will always convey a level of effort \u2014 think a pair of jeans or trousers with a bold, patterned top and a strong, tailored jacket. (Her footwear brand is another great example of this, with how it takes the traditional Spanish espadrille and modernizes it through color and texture.) People \u201cchoose what they\u2019re going to wear well,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s not effortlessly easy. It\u2019s classic elegance.\u201d In other words: What someone in another city might consider overdressed would be just another Tuesday in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>This love for dressing up goes back generations, she adds: \u201cYou see the grandmothers, and they\u2019re naturally elegant. They still go out when they\u2019re 80, 90 years old, and you see them sitting in the various stylish cafes wearing these amazing suits. They really put effort into their style, and they transmitted that to their daughters and granddaughters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are also certain design flourishes de los Mozos considers very typical. The Spanish love volume, for one, especially in their sleeves. They\u2019re also drawn to lace-up ties, ruffles, fringe, stripes, and polka dots, especially as a way to make a classic piece feel distinct.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Spain, we tend to choose clothes that are unique, regardless of price,\u201d she says. \u201cIt has to have something special, something different \u2014 a pleat, embroidery, shape.\u201d She points to brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/maravic-collection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Mar\u00c0vic<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mariadelaorden.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Maria de la Orden<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coosy.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Coosy<\/a> as embodying this approach.<\/p>\n<p>That boldness has only been strengthened as Madrid becomes more international, with people from other parts of Europe and Latin America relocating there. \u201cPeople are risking it more,\u201d de los Mozos argues. \u201cInstead of a uniform, they go for different looks depending on the day. They change the way they dress. The girl who would go with the blazer and trousers from work to dinner would wear yellow trousers and a bright orange top on the weekend, and she would feel exactly as cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"display:block\" class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div>(Stay Up To Date)<\/div>\n<div class=\"nnm\">Become A Style Insider<\/div>\n<div class=\"P8h\">Join The Zoe Report\u2019s exclusive email list for the latest trends, shopping guides, celebrity style, and more.<\/div>\n<div><button type=\"submit\" class=\"Ex8 qgj\">Submit<\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.page-463019726{&#8211;metaColor:#876821;&#8211;navColor:#876821} (Going Global) The Fashion Aesthetics Defining Cities Around The World From New York to Copenhagen. by Ana Colon 3 minutes ago TZR\/Getty Images The Zoe Report&#8217;s Personal Style Issue The world\u2019s never felt more connected.
