It might not be quite as flashy as some of the more high-profile fashion weeks throughout August and September—but, for its Scandinavian charm and fuss-free energy, Oslo Fashion Week remains one of my favourites. Beyond the mesmerising runway shows, the Scandi street style crowd are reason enough to get excited. Bringing new season trends to the Norwegian capital as well as digging up Scandi favourites, Oslo’s street style set know how to woo a fashion editor.
Inspired by the effortlessly chic Norwegian style set, I’ve curated a selection of the most striking street style looks from this season. Keep reading to discover the standout styles that should be on your radar right now.

Style Notes: Leopard print is back as the season’s most in-demand print and fashion people can’t get enough. Before winter takes the helm and you pull our your favourite leopard print coat, shop a lighter leopard dress to dip your toe into the trend.
