Some of the guests attending Copenhagen Fashion Week dress as if it were a moment to show off the most eccentric and over-the-top items in their closets. Copenhagen is known as much for its whimsical, boundary-pushing street style as it is for its commitment to sustainability; designers such as Ganni, Cecilie Bahnsen, and Saks Potts have made the city

But the city is also known for its designers.

But as a fashion editor who covered more than 30 shows and met with designers over four days, I have to think of Copenhagen Fashion Week street style as a series of work clothes sprinkled with personality. It's not that I want to be photographed by galleries or try out fall trends. I am here to pursue a story and represent the company. I want to look good, but I also want to look professional.

That doesn't mean I snooze on colorful outfits. Comfort when running around for hours between shows, subtle patterns and big hair accessories for playfulness, and modestly because it's during working hours.

Now, let's take a look at the summer work wear I wore to Copenhagen Fashion Week this season. In my humble opinion, these outfits maintain the Danish capital's style reputation without getting in the way of the work I came here to do.

The first day of a business trip abroad is almost always the hardest, physically, mentally, and outfit-wise. Jet lag and the urge to put on pajamas are real. Comfort for time-zone-adapted guests was especially important on the first day of this season: I traveled straight from an overnight flight from New York and a stopover in Iceland to the start of Copenhagen Fashion Week and didn't have time to take a nap. I showed up in an oversized COS top and Everlane pants, which I always wear at home. The loose-fitting silhouette feels intentional, but just as comfortable as my usual travel sweatpants. I inadvertently coordinated them with mesh dresses, shorts, and tops I've seen on the Mark Kenley Domino Tan and A. Roege Hove runways.

I vied with many of the Copenhagen Fashion Week attendees to be the most avid fan of the white skirt trend. White skirts were paired with everything from sequined sheer tops to perforated, tattered sweaters, and were as prevalent in street style as maximalist hair accessories. I had hoped to wear nothing but a bikini to take a dip in the canal between shows, but the look was not appropriate for all the interviews that were scheduled. Instead, I went with another page from Scandinavian Style, an oversized button-up and ballerina shoes. I thought the cornflower blue was a whimsical, Copenhagen-esque touch, but the button-up is a special kind of business casual.

Marie Clary's office follows a corporate casual dress code, so this combination could be worn back home. Still, instead of ballerina shoes, she might switch to sturdy loafers because her luggage was too heavy.

By the third day of Copenhagen Fashion Week, or any work trip for that matter, I am feeling down. The hours are long. Deadlines are tight. I need a one-and-done item that will inspire me like a triple espresso and put me back into power dress mode. One such item is my favorite work dress. This mix print from Rixo takes the neutral colors I love and rely on somewhere new.

I paired my pointed-toe mules with 80s gold jewelry to the circuit for Baum und Pferdgarten's Olympic-themed show. The outfit and the runway's rousing soundtrack energized me enough to run the 100-meter dash. Luckily, all I had to do was sit in my assigned seat and admire the outfits.

After four seasons of attending Copenhagen Fashion Week, I have found that chunky sneakers can be paired with just about anything. Mid-week, with six shows in a row and several appointments before and after, I decided to follow the quintessential Scandi girl style. I interpreted it my way by pairing a drop-waist dress I picked up on sale at Revolve with Nike's V2 Max, a favorite of Kaia Gerber and Jennifer Lawrence. This is a favorite style of Kaia Gerber and Jennifer Lawrence. I layered a t-shirt underneath for modesty (again, this was a work trip), but at home I typically wear nothing but sandals.

When I needed to dress up for my weekly late night show and dinner with my editors afterwards, I used the outfit I always wear at home, a little black top and white skirt. It takes two seconds to put on, but the contrast gives the outfit a sophisticated look. A fashion friend once told me that this combination looked like the ghost of Caroline Bessette Kennedy.

A small cardigan thrown over the shoulders adds another tone to the neutral-on-neutral palette while protecting against the chill of Copenhagen's post-sunset chill. Though not visible here, the finishing touch was a pair of Manolo Blahnik mules. All of this outfit can be mixed and matched with casual shorts, an oversized button-down, and sneakers, which I prepared for work at the hotel the following week.

This summer, I evolved from a staunch anti-jeut activist to one of the biggest proponents of the revival of the jeut trend. (I blame it on my daily exposure to Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid's styling while working on fashion news for Marie Claire magazine.) On my last working day in Denmark, I put my collection of work dresses and skirts to rest and styled my customary Agolde pair with an oversized black blazer and peony button-down. Mesh flats and a straw bag slung over my shoulder gave me a business-casual-meets-beach vibe. [At Copenhagen Fashion Week, no trend is too controversial for street style.
