Hygge Is the New Cozy: Here Are 5 Danish Streetwear Items to Boost Your Winter Style
You can never be too comfortable.
The Danish concept of hygge is something we can get behind. Hygge, pronounced “hoo-gah,” translates to a feeling of coziness and general contentment. Despite being one of the coldest places on earth, Denmark still manages to place in the top five happiest countries thanks to this way of life. Danish clothing reflects these values as well maintaining comfort as a top priority.
For our mid-winter style guide, we curated items from Denmark’s best streetwear labels to add a bit of happiness to your life. Peep the list below.
Astrid Andersen Track Trouser
Astrid Andersen
Astrid Andersen makes clothing that you just want to live in. Her eponymous label elevates sportswear to a new level using luxury fabrics and textiles. Last year, the Danish designer ventured into womenswear and soon found that she has a talent for complementing the feminine silhouette. The brand’s track trouser literally brings a smile to our faces. Its bright blue flower pattern serves as an early beacon for spring, while still providing coverage from the cold.
