Norse Projects 

Going back to our point about Danish utilitarian and workwear inspired designs, nobody is doing it better than Norse Projects. Their staple pieces are a classic 5-panel cap, a string of artist-designed graphic print T-shirts and a large selection of high-quality basics. As well as this they're known for their simple yet functional outerwear collaboration with the next label on our list, which whilst looking great, also performs fantastically in that harsh Scandinavian weather.

Elka 

A true heritage brand; Elka are to the Danes what Barbour are to the British. They are famous for their no-frills waterproof jackets, which can stand up to pretty much whatever is thrown at them. Like Barbour, the past decade or so has seen the brand gain favour in the fashion world, especially since their Norse Projects partnership.

Han Kjøbenhavn 

Han Kjøbenhavn have been making great looking, modestly priced sunglasses since 2008. If you're after a pair of shades for the summer and your looking for a change from the RayBans then you could do a lot worse than a pair of these bad boys. With prices starting from around £70 they won't break the bank and there are some really nice twists one some classic frame designs. As well as eyewear Han Kjøbenhavn have branched out to offer a range of apparel too, so if you fancy a change in your wardrobe then we'd advise you to take a look.
