Trendwerk

Gate-side fashion fix near Terminal 1 departures

Right in Terminal 1 at Cologne Bonn Airport, Trendwerk is the quick stop for clothing and accessories when you realize your jeans, shirt or jacket won’t cut it for the trip. It sits in the main shopping stretch airside, so you can walk over after security without factoring in extra checks or detours to another terminal.

Trendwerk leans into everyday fashion: think casual tops, travel-friendly trousers, light outerwear and seasonal items you can actually fly in. Prices run in the mid-range compared to other German airport shops, so expect higher than city high street but well below luxury labels in downtown Cologne. It’s the spot to swap a hoodie for a button-down before a meeting or grab a warmer layer before an evening arrival.

The shop also carries accessories that save a flight: belts, simple scarves, caps, basic jewelry and bags that fit overhead bin limits on airlines at Terminal 1. You’ll usually find at least a few discounted racks with last-season pieces, which can soften the airport markup a bit. Sizing is more EU-focused, so if you usually wear US sizes, plan to try things on and check the tags carefully.

Figure 10–15 minutes to browse Trendwerk and still make it back to most Terminal 1 gates on time. One tip: snap a photo of the receipt before boarding so you can return or swap items on your next pass through CGN if something doesn’t fit as expected.
