Scandinavian Street Style #1

[cakesniffer]

I think the thing about Helsinki street style is that people just look like they try too hard. Even if they had the coolest outfit on it kind of spoils it that you can tell they took many hours putting it together rather than the "Oh, I just found this in my closet, I'm stylish without even trying" style you see in bigger cities.

They're all from Oslo, and everyone, except the first, is taken in March/April. So they're fairly old.
I don't like them at all. They're so boring. This is excatly how the average Norwegian dresses(at least in my town) and I'm quite sick of it!

Yeah, that's why I left out that one... (I think it was even meant as a joke. Or at least I hope so).

I'm seriously thinking of starting this game called "spot the H&M pieces" on every streetstyle site. The winner gets a gift voucher there

there may be a lot of people who dress the same in scandinavia, but even so, the level of stylishness and style-consciousness is pretty damn high, i think.

i would say the average person dresses pretty well here compared to london or belgium. but maybe there is less at either end of the spectrum.

but it can get rather homogenous.

(i wonder if its something to do with the whole social welfare/tax system here - there appears to be a huge middle class in scandinavia)

anyway, thanks for the fashion week pics.

i agree, many people who are stylish try too hard in finland and then it becomes tacky looking. i like the i just found this from my closet -look as well.. i do se stylish people in finland though, but you really have to go to certain places such as a clubs or clothing stores, cafes etc. to look for them.
around big cities people definately dress better but there are many people who go for comfyness more than style. i guess each of their own......

i dont think some cocktail party outfits really capture the "street style" in scandinavia. i mean who walks in an outfit like that on the street? haha
