By Malene Birger

By Malene Birger is Scandinavian fashion the way I like it: clear, but not cold. And it is one of the few premium labels we carry that starts at under €50.

Why By Malene Birger is at ABOUT.ALEXA

The Danish label manages something rare: it looks tidy without becoming generic. The colors are muted, the cuts are clear—yet every piece has a detail that sets it apart from mass-produced items.

For me, the brand is often the answer to a very specific question: What do I wear when I want to look good without it looking like I tried too hard? That is exactly what these blouses and tops are made for.

And they combine effortlessly. I think in terms of styles, not individual pieces—By Malene Birger works with almost everything else we have hanging in our shop.

The selection at ABOUT.ALEXA

About 38 pieces, with an unusually wide price range from €42 to €520:

• Blouses from €133 to €190 – the heart of the brand for us, including the Derris and the Luisa.
• Tops from €42 – the most affordable entry point we carry.
• Trousers from €132 to €250.
• Accessories – belts, scarves, and shoes that I love using to add contour to a quiet look.

How I style By Malene Birger

The blouses are the piece I start with. A well-cut blouse is what determines whether a look seems inconspicuous or special—worn with jeans it’s casual, worn with suit trousers it’s instantly business-appropriate.

What many underestimate: the belts. A good belt over a loose blouse or dress changes the entire silhouette and costs a fraction of a new outfit. For me, that is one of the most efficient styling tricks of all.

We would be happy to show you these combinations in person—come by our Dortmund store or book a personal styling appointment.
