History of style

Scandinavian or Nordic style in clothing for women and men is a relatively new direction, which in its usual form appeared in the first half of the last century. However, the first inclinations to the formation of the style date back to much earlier years, namely, the end of the 16th century, when Northern Europe first began to abandon the bright and attractive outfit in favor of a more practical, albeit less aesthetic.

The first was King Gustav III – at one point he decided to take off his luxurious outfits. He, by the way, laid the foundation for the Scandinavian style in the interior - he took care of a large amount of light in the rooms.

Since that time, the style has undergone many changes, but still remained faithful to the main principles of the Scandinavian ancestors.

Style features

  • Natural and calm shades. Continuing the theme of the palette, it is important to note that in the Scandinavian wardrobe, mainly calm tones are used. Modern designers are constantly trying to make things brighter, add even neon notes, but the classics of the Nordic style still accept tranquility;

Calm colours

  • Ethnic motives. A frequent guest of clothes - well-known drawings in the form of snowflakes, deer, abstract patterns, as well as voluminous braids - such are found on sweaters, ponchos, knitted dresses. Of course, not all things have such prints;
