# Avant-Garde Preppy Ensembles The Band of Outsiders 2012 Spring Line Boasts Luxury Tracksuits By Jaime Neely | Published 2011-06-19 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/band-of-outsiders-2012 References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2011/06/band-of-outsiders-2012-springsummer-collection-presentation/) & [bandofoutsiders](http://www.bandofoutsiders.com/) The Band of Outsiders 2012 Spring/Summer collection recently hit the runways in an original [theatrical performance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection). As models danced, sang and strutted their way across the stage, guests caught a glimpse of the fabulous fashion in store for men next year. The Band of Outsiders 2012 Spring/Summer collection features pieces that combine [sporty, preppy and avant-garde looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brucolic) all into one ravish line of warm-weather fashion. From the casual tracksuit jackets to the [snug-fitting blazers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2) and the vibrant boat shoes, the collection contains something for every style. My favorite outfit is a simple pair of pink pastel shorts paired with a casual red hoodie. A noted feature from the images is the makeup worn by the male models. Each model strutted his stuff with what appears to be white or silver lipstick on his mouth. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Avant-garde Preppy Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a fashion line that combines sporty, preppy, and avant-garde elements to appeal to a diverse range of style preferences. - **Luxury Tracksuits:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create high-end tracksuits with innovative materials and design features to cater to the growing demand for both comfort and luxury fashion. - **Male Makeup Trend:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Launch a range of men's makeup products that cater to the changing societal norms and embrace self-expression and individuality in men's grooming. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology into fashion design and production processes to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and customization options. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leverage sustainable and eco-friendly materials to create high-end fashion products that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Cosmetics Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop gender-neutral makeup lines that challenge traditional beauty standards and cater to a diverse range of identities and expressions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expansive Performance Running Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandit-fall-2024.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Eclectic Preppy Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambush-5.md) - [Performance-Driven Footwear Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandit-x-asics-capsule.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md) - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md)
