Who is behind Skagen Clothing?
Owners: Thomas Melgaard og Marcus Dahl
When we were 18 years old and dreamed of the perfect light-coloured linen trousers for the warm Danish summer days, we worked our way to creating the ultimate product - a product that has now been perfected to such an extent that we dare to claim to have the absolute best linen trousers on the market.
The boyhood dream has evolved into a real business, which thanks to a lot of drive, know-how, ambition and more than one finger on the pulse, has created the established brand Skagen Clothing, which originates from the energetic atmosphere of North Jutland, but is based in Aarhus.
The idea came to us when we were finishing high school, and since then we have pursued our dream of creating a universe of classic, stylish and comfortable summer outfits that are inspired by the area, the light and the mood of North Jutland.
Some people carry the feeling of summer all year round, and we are two of them. This is clearly reflected in our styles, where we combine the permanent summer feeling with a simple, down-to-earth expression in a creative, bright universe that we want to share with others.
The largest clothing brand in the Nordics and a world leader in linen. Ambitious, yes. But not unlikely.
Scandinavia is known for its simple, functional design, balanced color palettes and good quality. Minimalism has crept in everywhere - in architecture, the furniture industry, technology and not least in clothing. Simple living, at its finest. Maybe it has something to do with Scandinavia's changeable weather, which is rarely predictable? It makes us yearn for something visually static, with fewer twists and turns.
The minimalist aesthetic of Skagen Clothing is paramount, and it appeals to a lot of people around the world. The material itself is just as popular, but it's hard to make linen styles that aren't see-through, affordable and fit well. Linen is a natural fiber that is durable, breathable and possible to grow with minimal environmental impact. If we spice it up with a nice, simple design, wearable colors and a solid use of social media, this is nothing less than a recipe for success, if we do say so ourselves.

Skagen has always been one of the most unique places in Denmark. With its many hours of sunshine that bathe the summer countryside in joy, warmth and not least the very special light. For hundreds of years, Skagen's light has attracted artists and visitors from all over the world. A warmth and a light that demands the right, comfortable clothing. Clothing that we at Skagen Clothing have made it our vision to create. Lightweight, stylish styles that can be worn all year round, at Skagen Clothing we pay attention to the details. And as at the top of Denmark, where the two seas meet, our own collaboration - two creative entrepreneurs - has resulted in Danish design, natural materials and over 120,000 satisfied customers to date. Our focus is on inviting natural colors that are easy to match with clothes already hanging in your wardrobe. Just like in Skagen, Skagen Clothing's color palette ranges from white and sandy to green shades inspired by heather and deep ocean blue, reflecting the beautiful nature in Skagen.
