What To Expect From New Trends
When looking to identify potential new trends in fashion, an effective starting point can often be a look towards the previous or previous few season's collections to identify which items and styles may have the potential to carryover into the next. A common thread can also sometimes be found that links the requirements and tastes of all genders, such as the need for transitional layering pieces leading to the increase in popularity of overshirts throughout a wide variety of brand's collections. Potential candidates we have identified include:
Birkenstock Boston Shearling Sandal
Womens
The Clog
The Birkenstock Boston Sandal had a significant amount of interest through last autumn and winter which we expect to continue this year, with its versatile appearance as a casual slip on shoe and shearling lined model for the coldest periods of the season. This can likewise be said for the Classic Lined Clogs from Crocs. During the pandemic the brand began regaining a momentum and popularity it had long since lost; this has continued to the present day due to their focus on comfort and personality above all else and the lined variation of their classic clog make a great choice for winter.
Mens
The Overshirt
As previously mentioned, the need for transitional layering pieces that can carry you comfortably through the latter period of the summer into the beginning of autumn has led to a dramatic rise in popularity of overshirts through across the past number of seasons. Versatile enough to be used as a lightweight jacket or a simple layering piece, our two new introductions from Fred Perry and HUGO make excellent choices for just that as we head into the colder months of the year.
Womens
The UGG Trend
UGG have seen a huge rise in popularity over recent winters, with both the Ultra Mini boot and Tasman slipper styles receiving the biggest surge over last year. Both feature the brand's signature shearling lining and are designed to maximise comfort in your loungewear collection for the colder period of the year; the two pairs together make a great combination as both an indoor and an outdoor pair.
True Religion Multi Graphic T-Shirt
Mens
The Backprint T-Shirt
A trend we definitely expect to continue on an upward trajectory is that of backprint t-shirts. Having gone from strength to strength over recent years, an increasing number of brands are beginning to offer their own take on the style, such as these new introductions from True Religion, Napapijri and Parlez. Increased brand adoption has led to an increasing amount of interest in the designs.
Barbour Lifestyle Reversible Fleece Jacket
Mens
The Reversible Jacket
Reversible jackets on the other hand have only recently begun to see a significant interest in popularity; heritage brands such as Barbour along with more contemporary names like Moose Knuckles and Emporio Armani can be seen introducing variants of their own outerwear in reversible designs, bringing a level of versatility to outerwear that's not usually seen.
