Younger people in Germany dress mostly very similar to younger ones in Scandinavia. And people are generally more fashionable dressed in autumn and winter.
Then we have been to completely different Copenhagen's. In my experience 30-years old women in Copenhagen dress exactly what I would expect from women that walk and shop around. The main difference to a major city in Germany: A significant higher percentage of the women in Copenhagen is more fashionable dressed, whereas in Germany you will find a higher percentage of more casual or chavvy dressed women.
I would never describe the women in Copenhagen to be dressed like someone who wants to hike in a forest. In Germany you would find many 40-60 years old women, that would fit into this description.
OK, let's have a look here, ( since I am not all that familiar with the city) ( Germans - I have pretty good idea what they dress like, including the clothing catalogs that I've looked at.)
You believe there is a significant difference in woman's attire between Hamburg and Copenhagen? But not between Copenhagen and Barcelona?
Hamburg and Copenhagen, while obviously different countries, are very similar in terms of geography, climate, history, and even culture. If you're in the Frisian islands you can't even tell which country you're in (could be Germany, Denmark or Netherlands). Not sure why you think that there are radical differences in attire between these general areas.
Most people in this part of Europe are tall, fair-haired, serious, historically Protestant, and, yes, practical dressers, for the most part. They are not known for dressing like they're going to a club in Ibiza. Of course these are generalities and there are many exceptions.
I have never said that there are significant differences in the style of clothing between Hamburg and Copenhagen. But the percentage of more fashionable dressed people in Copenhagen or Stockholm is higher than in Hamburg or in Germany in general. All people I know say that people in Sweden are normally very well dressed.
Of course there are huge differences to the way people in Barcelona are dressed. But it's in my opinion not less fashionable.
Maybe we have just different beliefs what fashionable means?

I think the term "Nordic" look used by NOLA is a little bit misleading. I would say most Germans would associate the term with "outdoor-look":
This is quite typical look for the US too ( at least around where I live in MidWest.)
But overall - yes, there is such thing as "Nordic style of fashion."

When you mean with "Nordic style of fashion" the "Scandinavian style", then I would say your first video is a good example of "Scandinavian style". That is exactly what we in Germany understand about "Scandinavian fashion".

Yes. That's how I perceive it too.
But to many Eastern European men ( Nola including) it comes across as "poor styling," or absence of style - that's what I think))))
No, that they have their own ( and quite distinct) sense of fashion.
Whether one likes it or not is a matter of taste.
I like it. But I wouldn't call it quite distinct. Because you find similar dressed people in Germany for example. But you also find much more badly dressed people in Germany. It seems way easier to find good examples for how Danish people are dressed, than it would be for Germans. The differences in German clothing styles seems to be much larger. It often depends on the educational background. It's often easy to conclude from the fashion style to the type of school the wearer has attended.
