A Guide to Stockholm Style
Looking for a functional, on-trend wardrobe? Stockholm Style might just be your new go-to. This aesthetic is super approachable especially if you’re just starting to find your personal style because it isn’t anything out of the ordinary, but it allows for personalization and unique additions. Here’s your guide to adding a little Scandinavian flair into your own wardrobe!
What is Stockholm Style?
Style in Stockholm, Sweden is a mix of trendy, functional, and modern, making it a great option for anyone to embrace in their own wardrobes. Rooted in quality basics, neutral colors, and understated pieces, Stockholm Style includes pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless looks. Layering and details that add a little edge are key: for instance, you can start with a white tank top and loose jeans, and throw on a few statement pieces like a striped tee, turtleneck sweater, patterned belt, slouchy bag, or tinted sunglasses.
Keep things loose, comfortable, and easy – you don’t need to over-do it! We’d recommend starting with the basics. Invest in simple tees in black, grey, and white, a few pairs of jeans you can wear on repeat, quality sweaters/sweatshirts, and a wool coat. From there, you can add on the bold accessories that will make your outfits feel more unique.

Style Tips:
BUILD YOUR UNIFORM
Accumulate your favorite basics that you can wear on repeat in neutral colors (and ideally, high-quality fabrics like 100% cotton, cashmere, and wool). A simple, cohesive set of clothing will make getting dressed easier and less overwhelming. Outfit repeating is totally fine (and recommended)!
ADD PERSONALITY THROUGH SMALL ADDITIONS
You don’t need to go over-the-top with trendy purchases that won’t last. A few statement pieces that spruce up your outfits will do the trick, like a patterned scarf, big sunglasses, or a colorful bag.
LAYER INTENTIONALLY
Stockholm style is built for changing weather, so smart layering while staying fashionable is essential. Layer a sweater over a white tee that peeks out underneath for some initial depth. Depending on the weather, you can add a leather jacket, long wool coat, blazer, puffer, or cropped trench on top. If you’re in a warmer-weather place, think about layering with accessories rather than outerwear — like necklaces, scarves, belts, socks, and hats.
