| Isn’t Acne a Scandinavian brand? Maybe start there. And Swedish clogs |

OP, based on your posts, I don't think you actually need links to Scandinavian brands. I think you liked a certain style of dressing and need to create a short list of must-haves and then a list of "rules" for putting together outfits. Most of what you are talking about is not that hard to find, you just need to be organized about it.
I'd start by choosing some neutral colors to build around. Black/white/brown for instance. Or olive/gray. Or brown/gray. Or all shades of brown. Or all black. Lots of ways to go here. Layering neutrals is easy, but it will be much easier to shop and put outfits together if you limited to 2-3 colors. Otherwise you wind up with a great navy coat that looks weird with all your black shoes or something. Second, short list of items. A suggested list based on your descriptions and photos: - 1-2 pairs slim pants, cropped just at or above ankle - 2-2 pairs menswear inspired pants, probably with a higher waist, pleats, and pockets to get the look you want. Either cropped at angle or easy to roll to ankle - A GREAT wool coat, either menswear-inspired, cocoon style, or maybe a slightly a-line swing coat. Something with volume and nice details - A few terrific cold weather accessories, including a blanket scarf or two for draping - A pair of great sneakers, either bright for contrast or in a complementary neutral - A pile of neutral basics: short and long sleeve fitted tees for layering, maybe a couple great casual dresses or skirts, some denim Then nail down your favorite silhouettes and when you shop, stick to your colors, your aesthetic, and your silhouettes. It takes some discipline but it's much more about the discipline than the specific shops. You could literally do this whole project at, like, H&M on the cheap and come out looking pretty good. It's about being very purposeful in your purchases and also styling things thoughtfully. |

| I think Scandinavian women are gorgeous, but if I tried to dress in clothes that baggy, I would look homeless. |

I think they often have the tall height and slim frame advantage. |

I am tall (for US - 5'8") and very slim and still feel like I look dumb in that kind of clothing! Maybe you have to have the blonde hair too

| On a precovid trip I noticed mostly neutrals but with very bright accent colors for women. Plus funky glasses and chunky shoes. Men were wearing really vibrant colors even in dress pants. |

I order from here a lot. About 40 dollars shipping and free returns. Under 800 is duty free. https://www.perfectlybasics.com/
Go to the looks section and see if the styling is what you are looking for, and it will link to the pieces, where you can then see even more styling of the same. THey do a great job with that. https://www.perfectlybasics.com/product_look_list.aspx?language=2 |

| Interesting pics (and I checked the links). My cousin's daughter married a Norwegian and is an art museum curator in Norway. I've only met her a few times (weddings, funerals) but she is always dressed in a style that is both elegant and comfortable looking--clothes very fitted but not body-con. Nothing slouchy and minimal layers. |
