@monamali_Style Notes: It's been a big year for denim, quite literally, and Scandis were the first to lead the charge in baggy jeans, maxi skirts and slouchy denim shirts. Layer up with white tees, black jackets and strappy sandals to do denim the Nordic way.
The sold out skirt is finally back in stock, so act fast before it's gone again.

@lindatol_Style Notes: There's no hardworking wardrobe staple than the jersey basic. Whether it's a cotton tee or a stretchy tank top, you'll wear them as is in spring and summer or layered up underneath blazers, dresses and coats in autumn and winter. The high-street specialise in these simple pieces at affordable prices, so it's worth stocking up in different colours and wearing on rotation.

@jeanettemadeenStyle Notes: The flattering knit dress crops up time and again on the Scandi crowd, and it's easy to see why. Simple, chic, and understated, this fit suits every body and makes for a low-maintainance, high-impact outfit that you can throw on and go in just five minutes.

@anoukvyeStyle Notes: Last summer may have been all about the micro mini, but this year we're back to longer hemlines. For those who haven't been won over by the column maxi skirt, the midi is still a strong contender for best all-rounder. Keep it casual with simple flats or dress it up with heels, but however you wear it, take tips from Anouk and keep it simple a relaxed top and tonal palette.
Ever since I saw Pernille Teisbaek in a full skirted midi, I want a full skirted midi.
A slip skirt will serve your wardrobe for years to come.

@emilisindlevStyle Notes: If anyone knows how to do "borrowed from the boys" tailoring, it's Scandi women. From Munthe to Skall Studio (think The Row, via Copenhagen), the supersized shirt is the shortcut to chic you can wear with jeans, skirts and leggings. The white shirt is a classic, but pinstripes, linen or block colours are the perfect wardrobe update.
The obvious accompaniment to ecru denim.
Wear with sleek tailoring or over a midi slip on warmer autumn days.
Choose from all black, classic white, or this understated pinstripe.

@iliridakrasniqiStyle Notes: Who likes short shorts? Well, not the Dutch. All year round you're likely to see tailored trousers, and if you thought wide-leg trousers meant heavy, wool iterations, take a look at these light crepe and cotton styles that are sharp enough to meet business.
Could these be team Who What Wear's trouser of the year? It's highly likely.
Trust me–you'll find grey trousers just as versatile as black.
