# Simplified Sportswear Staples 'Très Bien' Revitalized Classic Menswear for a More Modern Aesthetic By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-09-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-menswear References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/9/tres-bien-2016-fw-campaign) & [tres-bien](http://tres-bien.com/shop) 'Très Bien,' a fashion label that's based in Stockholm, Sweden, released its 2016 Fall/Winter loobook -- which touts [retro athletic clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wintry-athletic-apparel) and classic menswear styles. What's different about the brand's offerings is its adamant strive towards simplicity, which works to infuse the clothing with a more mature and versatile feel. It does this by including little to no accessories -- allowing the solid structures and [monochromatic colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit) to speak volumes instead. Although many of the classic menswear styles that Très Bien includes are unmarked by patterns or vibrant tones, the brand is sure to include a few standout pieces that contrast this and therefore diversify its range. One piece that especially does this is a bright ocean blue sweater -- a rather surprising inclusion for the lookbook that's otherwise almost entirely neutral. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Simplified Sportswear:** Opportunity for fashion brands to focus on pared-down and versatile designs that offer a more mature and modern aesthetic. - **Monochromatic Colorways:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create statement pieces using solid colors and simple designs. - **Contrast Pieces:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create standout pieces that contrast with an otherwise neutral collection. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to capitalize on the trend towards simple, versatile designs with stylish yet understated offerings. - **Athletic Apparel:** Opportunity for athletic apparel brands to simplify their designs and utilize monochromatic colorways to create versatile yet stylish options for consumers. - **Menswear:** Opportunity for menswear brands to embrace minimalism and focus on creating simple, well-tailored designs to appeal to modern fashion-conscious men. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Wardrobe Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-core.md) - [Modern Sport-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-wardrobing.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Refined Utility Tailoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Understated Luxury Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coofandy.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Versatile Sportswear Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reigning-champ-fw24-collection.md)
