How to Pack Or Get the Scandinavian Look

January 30, 2018

Today’s Scandinavian look is delivered from a brand like Acne, Marlene Birger, Tiger, Ganni, Filippa K, and Ti-Mo. All are Scandinavian brands that live by the essential wardrobe and deliver the Scandi look to the world! – great jeans, perfect wool sweater, classic pistol boots, and the perfect biker jacket are needed to survive travel in the Scandinavian countries.

How to Pack the Scandinavian Look

The Scandinavian look is all about chunky boots with a walk-able practical heel. Scandinavian is surrounded by hard climate; by this, they adapt to the environment and create a functional every day that will never disappoint your every day look. If you need more nice tips, I would recommend:

Get the Scandinavian Look

The cultural differences between the countries are that Swedish tends to be more minimal, Danish is more playful, and Norwegian incorporate more embellishments. The overall Scandinavian look is a mix of minimalist shapes, rock’n’ roll attitude, and no-nonsense everyday appeal.

Personally, as a Scandinavian girl, I will describe my look as comfortable and relaxed. My favorite pieces in my wardrobe are skinny jeans, a wool sweater, a silk top, a leather skirt, quality knitwear, scarfs, and pistol boots. My look is fuss-free but effortlessly chic, or at least that’s what I’m trying to achieve.

How Would You Define Scandinavian Look now?

I think it’s very laid-back but at the same time sophisticated. It’s uncomplicated and comfortable to wear. Scandinavians are very good at lending their twist to their look, like with layers.

The Scandi Look that is Ultra Chic

Darja Barannik is a Russian-Norwegian Fashion Editor and journalist. Most of her life has been in Norway and sometimes around the world. I like Darja’s style because she combines the Scandinavian look with a chicness on another luxurious level. She is one of those girls that only live a couple of blocks from my home in Norway, Frogner.  That’s why I love following and see what’s up in the neighborhood, but also around the world.

Packing the Scandinavian Look

It is all about finding your comfort zone! The Scandinavian look is about being laid-back, cool, and no fuss. Pack the things you like, and even better if you can use it in layers. I always have jeans, wool sweaters, silk tops, walkable pistol shoes, and a big scarf. I hope that can get you started! Please, ask if you have any questions!!

Scandinavian is surrounded by hard climate; by this, they adapt to the environment and create functional cloths that will never disappoint your everyday look.

    A Norwegian Travel Voice & Trying to Impact the World by Nudging People to Choose More Sustainable Travel.

    I’m shaped by nature. I grew up at the edge of th I’m shaped by nature.

I grew up at the edge of the Stadt peninsula — where the ocean doesn’t negotiate and the wind decides your plans. You learn early to read the sky. To sense the shift before the squall rolls in. To move before the door is pushed open.

The weather isn’t small talk at the coast.
It’s strategy.
It’s timing.
It’s survival.

And the women knew it best.

While the men were at sea, coastal women held everything together — land, livestock, homes, children, community. They didn’t call it resilience. They simply lived it.

They understood something very important that we need to remember well. 

You don’t dominate nature.
You collaborate with it.

Today I live in the Lofoten Islands, again surrounded by strong coastal women. Different generation. Same backbone.

To adapt when conditions shift.
To build with the landscape, not against it.
To know when to move — and when to stand firm.

To me, that is a coastal inheritance. 

The coast teaches you self-efficacy. Patience. Awareness. Respect.

It shapes women who know that sustainability isn’t about control — it’s about relationship.

And that’s the spirit I carry into my work, my travels, and the future I’m building.

Thank you @dino.serrao for capturing my coastal spirit in this portrait.
    2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times wi 2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times with family and friends! It went so fast! Many highlights this year! And many great hikes even in Lofoten and Sunnmøre! 

2025, I have used less time on my phone more flight mode, more with just being. It will continue onward for 2026. I’m still traveling and doing many mini adventures. Mostly being with loved ones. 

In April we were in Cuba, which always disconnect but reconnect you much better with what matters and the importance of being grateful and appreciating what you have in Life. When we travel, how can we travel well, how do we show up at a destination. 

My last international travel this year was Lanzarote, famous for its landscape and architecture. Best of all traveling with my sister. We used public buses, eat at different local places and guided tour to the national park. What an island! 

I think one word that has been important this year for me is mindful. Be aware, be curious, ask open questions, reflect more before speaking and listen. 

Being in nature is the best gift for human nature. We must visit more often. We must focus on our sleep quality. 

I think 2025 have been a year of flowing and protecting my energy on what sparks joy to me. The most limited resource we have is time. How can we live the most happy with the time we have. How can we use our time and energy well. 

2025 I’m very grateful for the year it was a blessing filled with love laughters, friendship and some important life reflections and some new changes. 

2026, welcome let’s embrace and see where the wind takes us this year! 

Wishing you all the very best new year filled with abundance, hope and peace. May the year be as good as you want it to be! Or even better as magical as you want ✨🤩
    October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The start of the month was breathtaking in Lofoten. We welcomed German travel experts for a MEGAFAM trip in the Lofoten Islands and had a blast connecting with new faces and industry colleagues. Truly amazing!!🤩 #lofoten #lofotenislands #megafam #lofoteninfo #visitnorway
    Greece is always a good plan! This time we went is Greece is always a good plan! This time we went island jumping to Skiathos and Skopelos. You know the Mamma Mia Islands 🌞 Also Athens, but next post. I think Skopelos has the clearest water I have seen in Europe. So stunning so pure, wow! So green the Island. Could have been away longer as always, but now living slow cabin life before hitting back North. #islandescape #greece #visitgreece #skiathos #skopelos #islandsofadventure
