About the Cool Guys

The colour black persists. It is the essence of the men in Copenhagen. At least that's how it feels when you are trying to capture the ordinary Copenhagener. Why do so many Danes wear black? As simple as it is - it keeps you warm! Especially in winter, when sunlight is sparse and temperatures dip. Black absorbs heat, and so wearing more black is a practical method of thermal isolation. 

You can feel the desire to maintain an understated image within Copenhageners, which essentially appears to be the accepted norm, people living in Copenhagen play it safe (together with the infrastructure that is made out of the best practice paying attention to its user) by donning neutral-colored apparel within the city that gives understated feeling in minimalist architecture and interior, hardly any huge advertisements... However, individuals can still stand out through details when you know where to look, like the trimmings of a coat, the silhouette of sneakers, or a flash of a piercing.

The All Blacks, Part II

It is hard not to notice that in Copenhagen black is always top pick when it comes to the clothes. Obviously, we had to write about this... Here are 4 photos from our recent photo mission where we spotted black in all its glory!

While waiting for the green light.
This girls brings lot of black tones into her outfit. Looking cool and edgy. Her bike is the brightest accessory in her over all look, and still it is light grey... Not so far from our favorite - black!

All black, everything.
Even headphones, for sure her bicycle and baskets. Real Copenhagener - chic, comfy and all black.

You need to add little something from time to time.

Carry it with You, People!

Regarding to our previous blog post, here is a sequel with people carrying stuff. More casual, more understandable.
For example, this lady above. Fitting her bag perfectly into her black basket. We all know how important and handy it is to have a every day bag that fits your basket!!!

Young generation, always ready for exciting adventures that their day might bring...
Her basket might not fit perfectly to her pink dotted bag, but it doesn't steal away attention from the sleekness of her bike. Moreover, she puts on backpack and crossover bag and still look flawless while rolling through the streets of Copenhagen. Red lips, blushed cheeks - look that kills!!!!

Can you feel how the modern, urban transportation blends together in this picture? And still bicycle is the best choice for getting from A to B in our cities, because you can feel the human scale, you can feel the connectivity from person to person. Look at this guy. Music, your city, active lifestyle, backpack and box on the front rack. Everything is under control here!

This lady is definitely used to carrying a lot of stuff with here... Why? Because she is already secured herself with two baskets just in case shopping went little bit out of control!

Kid in school, time for party...
Heading into the city with flowers and bag in the basket. Want to create a cozy look for your bike and still carry everything with you like she does? Braided basket is your choice.

Happy Cycling!
