What to pack for your trip to Norway

Minimalist elegance meets urban practicality

The Vibe

Norwegian style is a unique blend of minimalist elegance and urban practicality. Fashionable Norwegians effortlessly combine high-quality basics with statement pieces, resulting in an interesting yet understated aesthetic. Neutral tones dominate the streets, with a preference for clean lines and tailored silhouettes. That being said, pops of color and bold patterns aren’t uncommon, and there’s a playful edge to the city's fashion scene. Functionality is paramount, with an emphasis on practical yet stylish outerwear and footwear suited for the city's varying weather conditions — think long trenches, perfectly baggy trousers, and plenty of layers. Norwegian style reflects a fusion of Scandinavian simplicity, contemporary design, and a commitment to both form and function.

What To Pack

Colder months: Drape yourself in long, warm coats — leather, wool, or down (for extra frigid temps). Form flattering denim or wool trousers. Square toed boots or chunky sneakers. Chic tees layered under cozy sweaters.

Warmer months: Embrace the ever-changing forecast with layers and plenty of options to warm up or cool down. A lightweight trench. Linen trousers. A long denim skirt and crisp oversized button-up. Light, lovely knits over tanks that can stand on their own. A chunky sandal or sneaker that will go with everything.
