If you love cozy fall vibes, Denmark in autumn is for you. Copenhagen turns into a fairy tale of glowing windows, crisp air, and endless hygge moments. But the weather is moody—one minute you’re sipping coffee in the sun, the next you’re dodging rain showers on your bike. This Denmark packing list will help you stay stylish, comfortable, and ready for whatever the Danish weather throws your way. Trust me: layers are your best friend here.
What’s the weather like in Denmark in the Fall?
Fall in Denmark (September-November) is moody and beautiful. Expect highs in the 50s-60s°F (10-16°C) and cool, misty mornings. Rain is common—plan for it. The light is magical in the fall, perfect for photographing all the stunning castles Denmark has to offer. I’m going to show you what to wear in Denmark in the fall so you look cute asf for all your Instagram pics (because trust me, you’ll have a full camera roll by the end of the trip).
What should you wear in Denmark in the Fall?
Copenhagen street style is chic, effortless, and neutral-toned. Think trench coats, scarves, and ankle boots. Honestly, I aspire to be as cool as them. Instead, I’m over here looking like a total tourist. Denmark’s bike-friendly cities mean comfortable clothes and layers are key. Watch out for those bikes too, they are everywhere. And yes, you’ll get in the way of them often like a total idiot. You’re not alone 🤣
