# Retro-Infused Fashion Stylings CMMN SWDN's New Collection Boasts a Classic 70s Cool By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-05-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/70s-cool References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/4/017-cmmn-swdn-spring-summer-2018-editorial) & [017shop](https://017shop.ca/collections/mens-cmmn-swdn) Contemporary menswear fashion label CMMN SWDN exclusively focuses on the classic 70s cool aesthetic for its upcoming Spring/Summer 2018 collection. The line-up boasts patterned designs, silky smooth short sleeve button-ups, shin-high socks with slip-on flip-flops, checkered pants and more. The incredibly retro aspect of the men's collection, which carries the name 'Tropical Deco' — perhaps a clever reference to the art deco movement as a potential form of inspiration for CMMN SWDN's Spring/Summer 2018 designs, is commemorated in a chic and well-styled editorial by Canadian retailer /017. The photographs successfully communicate the aforementioned 70s cool aspect of the collection in a variance of styles. From the representations that highlight the exceedingly warm color palette of the [summer-ready silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1) to those that undertake an edgier ambiance with sleek black and white imagery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **70s Fashion Revival:** Fashion designers can explore retro-inspired styles from the 70s to create collections to cater to the current fashion taste. - **Art Deco Influence:** Incorporating the iconic art deco style in fashion designs, such as patterns and prints, can create a unique style fusion while still retaining a classic taste. - **Warm Color Palette:** Designers can experiment with warmer color palettes for summer collections, embracing bright and exciting hues to create a summer look and feel. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can use this trend to create retro-inspired collections for their customers. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore vintage aesthetics in their work, creating editorials that feel like they came from a different era. - **Marketing:** Brands can focus on marketing themes that emphasize old-school and vintage aesthetics by creating visually stunning ad campaigns for their potential clients and fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Eclectic Preppy Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2.md) - [Bold Playful Summer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvin-design-co.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Vintage Miami Beachwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-2024-menswear-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md)
