I wish I could pull off #13. Ah, to be 20-something again.

I love the playfulness and exuberance in these pictures! I wonder if dressing so fearlessly is more common in Finland than it is here in the US.
Thanks for sharing this, Janet!

My favorite parts, all the flat (and therefore walking friendly) shoes, and lots of fun layering and colors! No shortage of colors here!

All these are from http://hel-looks.com/ if you want to see more wacky styles.
As someone from a neighbouring country, I really want to know if many Finnish people actually dress like that!
People seem to dress more lagom and conservative way in Scandinavia on the whole.

I noticed lots of fun street style in Reykjavik both times I was there, and that's the closest I've been! Would love to spend more time in Scandinavia. Only flew through Oslo and Tromso on my way to Svalbard once.

These are so much fun! Thanks for sharing. I see a bunch of (potentially) handknits. I also love the fun hair colors.

Fun to look at. I was in Finland (visiting relatives) 20 years ago and I recall a more muted palette but some pattern mixing that I assumed was just coincidental to having small wardrobes (some of my relatives wore nearly same items daily but I was more in suburban and country areas with them. Helsinki would not surprise me having a more international flair. Of course marimekko to me is color and pattern so it makes sense.

They all look like they enjoy being who they are and showing it off.

Love the drama and the secondhand and handmade leanings. Especially on the guys! Where are the cargo shorts??

They are so gorgeous & (mostly) young. I could totally see you in your version of #13 Janet - in fact you would make it way more chic yet still fun.
