Introduction
One season, two major themes
When talking about boyÕs clothing in terms of trends, it can be challenging to
really pinpoint and seismic shifts. Pants may get tighter or looser, but for the
most part, come fall, there will be flannel shirts, cargo pants, and denim. Yet,
this season, there are two clear cut thematic trends pushing the design
direction. The first trend is the 1970Õs. Plush corduroy textiles in earth tones,
spice colored twills, and retro printed shirts all come back to us through a
nostalgic, sepia-toned lens. The other theme pushing the seasonÕs narrative
is one that is comprised of three related partsÑutility, function, and the great
outdoors. This theme plays out through the return to relaxed cut cargo pants,
modular heavyweight flannels and overshirts, and patchwork construction.
