I Accidentally Spent Hours Scrolling Scandi-Girl Style—7 Fall Staples They All Own

I recently found my TikTok algorithm taking a left turn away from the French women I was used to seeing and instead showing me a lot of Scandinavian style, and I couldn’t think of better timing. Scandinavian women have the best taste for fall. Last night, I accidentally spent hours discovering so many effortlessly chic looks. There's something undeniably captivating about the way Scandinavian women dress—they have a taste for minimalism with just the right amount of edge. As I dove deeper into my FYP, certain fall staples kept appearing over and over again, and I noted some trends. But these aren't just any fall trends; they're timeless.

Since Scandi women have mastered the art of looking polished yet laid-back, I’ve decided to create a full-on fall shopping guide that’s centered on their personal style. If you’re looking to infuse some Scandi-inspired sophistication into your own closet, these are the must-have fall pieces to get started.

1. Rugby Shirts

I saw this exact rugby shirt on multiple Scandinavian women's Instagrams and was immediately convinced that I had to buy into this trend. It’s the upgraded take on a plain white tee that we all need to know about.

2. Oversize Shirting

I’ve been neglecting the oversize shirts in my collection as of late, and the research I did for this story convinced me of that. I need to wear them more often. They’re the perfect layering piece to show off whatever it is you choose to wear underneath.

3. Trench Coats

Trench coats are Scandi staples. Not only are they perfect for fall and spring climates, but they're also incredibly chic.

4. Bermuda Shorts

Bermuda shorts are the trendy buy right now that I’ve been shying away from, but the more I see how well people style them for fall, the more I’m convinced that I need a pair.

5. Long Skirts

You can’t go wrong with a long skirt right now. I’ve seen a lot of Scandi girls style them with interesting tops as opposed to basics, and I’m here for it.

6. Cool Sneakers

When I think of It sneakers, I think of Scandi girls. They love their Adidas and are also the first to buy into some other trendy styles that end up being big names. If you’re looking for a new pair, you need to see what I found below.

7. Sheer Knits

As we slowly ease into fall, when it’s still too hot to fully wear a turtleneck, I’ll probably be gravitating toward a sheer gauzy knit. Think just the right amount of see-through.
