mfpen
Based in Copenhagen, mfpen deconstructs the codes of tailoring and workwear to create a looser, more contemporary and deliberately understated wardrobe.
AURA EDIT — SCANDINAVIA
Scandinavian menswear, understated and material-led
Scandinavian menswear is about more than minimalism. In Copenhagen and Stockholm, a new generation of brands is working with precise cuts, carefully chosen fabrics and clothes designed to last beyond a single season.
At AURA, our selection brings together Another Aspect, mfpen, Vous Décidez and SOCKSSS: four labels, each offering its own perspective on Scandinavian menswear, from relaxed tailoring and contemporary essentials to responsible materials and everyday accessories.
AURA SELECTED
Four perspectives on Scandinavian menswear
Copenhagen and Stockholm are home to some of the most interesting names in independent menswear today. We have selected four brands, each with its own approach to cut, fabric and function.
Another Aspect
Founded in Copenhagen, Another Aspect revisits the fundamentals of menswear through enduring cuts, responsible materials and an approach designed for everyday life.
Vous Décidez
Based in Copenhagen, Vous Décidez builds a wardrobe around core pieces that evolve from one collection to the next, using recycled fabrics, deadstock and a constant search for balance.
SOCKSSS
Born in Stockholm, SOCKSSS turns an often-overlooked essential into a genuine part of the wardrobe, with organic cotton socks made in Portugal, Italy or Japan.

Why Scandinavian menswear goes beyond minimalism
Scandinavian design is often reduced to a few words: restraint, simplicity, minimalism. Yet the contemporary wardrobe coming out of the Nordics is far richer than that.
At Another Aspect, it comes down to balanced proportions, fabrics chosen to last and a desire to build a coherent wardrobe rather than a succession of trends.
mfpen starts from the codes of tailoring and utility clothing, then loosens them, shifts the proportions and creates more natural silhouettes.
Vous Décidez works around core pieces that return and evolve from one collection to the next, while SOCKSSS treats accessories as a space for exploring fabric, colour and detail.
What connects these brands is not a shared aesthetic uniform, but a certain way of thinking about clothes: little done purely for effect, real attention to fabric and cut, and to the way a piece fits into everyday life.
