Polo Shirts & Bow Ties

The J Lindeberg Spring 2011 Collection Mixes Business Casual & Formal

— July 23, 2010 — Fashion
Polo shirts are standard staples for business casual dress, but the J. Lindeberg Spring 2011 collection gives these pieces a formal twist by topping them with bow ties. The rest of the menswear line similarly fuses casual and dressy, from preppy sweaters paired with camouflage shorts to crisp blazers atop white denim pants.

According to The Fashionisto, the J. Lindeberg Spring 2011 collection was inspired by the urban cyclist.

Implications - J.Lindeberg’s Artistic Director Pierangelo D’Agostin says that the pieces in the collection are all about putting together an outfit that perfectly suits you. Many of the colors in the collection are basics such as black and white, but bright pops of color such as orange can be seen on items like polo shirts.
Trend Themes
1. Formal Twist - Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate formal elements into casual clothing, such as adding bow ties to polo shirts.
2. Casual-dressy Fusion - Trend of blending casual and dressy pieces in menswear, such as pairing preppy sweaters with camouflage shorts or blazers with white denim pants.
3. Urban Cyclist Inspiration - Inspiration taken from urban cycling culture to create fashion collections that reflect this lifestyle.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands can explore the opportunity to create clothing lines that combine business casual and formal elements for a unique style.
2. Menswear - Menswear brands can leverage the trend of blending casual and dressy pieces to offer versatile and stylish options for their customers.
3. Sports and Outdoor - Sports and outdoor brands can tap into the urban cyclist trend to develop fashion collections that cater to this target audience.
