The intricacies of French fashion are well documented, as are the style inclinations of both Londoners and New Yorkers. But the Scandi set? They’re a new entry to the line-up. And it’s fair to say that they’ve already made their mark on the fashion landscape. It comes as no surprise, then, that & Other Stories has picked Stockholm as its main source of inspiration for its first collection of 2022.
Described as “fluid silhouettes and tactile textures in a warming palette of earthy hues,” this collection is the epitome of the particularly Scandi brand of elevated eclecticism that has proliferated in the last five years. We’re talking fuzzy knits paired with immaculately tailored trousers and pops of colour via vibrant accessories and statement coats. It’s essentially a ready-made capsule made up of hero pieces that are anything but boring.
At the top of our wish list is the belted leather coat with a classic single-breasted fit and waist-tie fastening. Just pair it with jeans and a jumper during the day, and swap in a mini skirt and knee-high boots for Friday-night cocktails. We also have our eye on the expensive-looking smocked top, which will not only act as a useful base layer but is also interesting enough to be the centre of attention in any outfit.
So if you want to inject a little Scandi appeal into your cold-weather capsule, scroll down to see and shop the best bits from & Other Stories’s Stockholm Atelier collection.
