The new JohnUNDERCOVER collection for Fall/Winter 2018 takes a vibrant approach to fashion with unconventional ways of layering. Designer Jun Takahashi explores contemporary menswear with unique layering pieces. The capsule offers a range of pieces that start from outerwear, knits and tops to trousers for the colder weather.
Some standout items from the new JohnUNDERCOVER Fall/Winter 2018 collection include the shearling denim long coat, cropped varsity jackets with gilt threading and two-toned pocketing on a light blue parka. There are also embroidered letter details on sweatshirts, turtleneck sweaters, color-blocked scarves, unique zip details on flannels, trousers with contrasting stripes around the ankles and hunting caps crafted in neon colors. The entire collection is available on JohnUNDERCOVER's website.

JohnUNDERCOVER's New Fall/Winter Line Explores Layering Styles
Trend Themes
1. Layering Fashion - Design and create new pieces of clothing that allow for unique layering to create a look that is more than just practical but is a fashion statement.
2. Unique Zip Details - Incorporate designs with unique zip details such as wraps and metal accents to add more interest to pieces of clothing that may seem simple.
3. Two-toned Pocketing on Jackets - Implement two-toned pocketing on jackets to add more interest to what may be considered a subtle part of the garment.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Innovate layering techniques or add something to simplistic pieces to make them stand out on their own, rather than as an addition to an outfit.
2. Textile Manufacturing - Collaborate with fashion brands and designers to create fabrics that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, making it easier for designers to create new styles with unique features.
3. Marketing and Advertising - Develop new ways to market clothing pieces, such as highlighting the unique features or the versatility of a layered look to attract consumers who are looking for originality in their clothing choices.
