# Preppy Collegiate Menswear The Drake's Fall/Winter 2018 Capsule Boasts Preppy Style Sensibilities By Amy Duong | Published 2018-09-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drakes-fallwinter References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/drakes-fw18) & [drakes](https://www.drakes.com/usa/) The latest Drake's Fall/Winter 2018 collection is full of intricately crafted menswear options prepared for the colder seasons to come. The London-based fashion label was inspired by inspiration of [collegiate aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-ivy) and to correlate to that theme, the lookbook was shot at the [University of Oxford](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-campus-collection). The setting matches well with its neoclassic architecture and gothic design to evoke an old-school collegiate touch. The latest seasonal collection is comprised of a selection of footwear, apparel and [smart outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025), featuring blazers and knitted sweaters in bold colorways and high-quality fabric materials. Some standout pieces include the desert boots with crepe soles and the check blanket jacket. The entire Drake's Fall/Winter 2018 collection is available to shop online. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Collegiate Aesthetics:** Fashion brands can incorporate collegiate aesthetics in their clothing lines to attract younger audiences. - **Intricately Crafted Menswear:** Luxury brands can differentiate themselves by focusing on intricately crafted menswear with high-quality fabric materials and bold colorways. - **Neoclassic Architecture-inspired Design:** Designers can draw inspiration from neoclassic architecture and gothic design to create unique pieces that evoke an old-school collegiate touch. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate collegiate aesthetics in their clothing lines to attract younger audiences. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brands can differentiate themselves by focusing on intricately crafted menswear with high-quality fabric materials and bold colorways. - **Architecture and Design:** Designers can draw inspiration from neoclassic architecture and gothic design to create unique pieces that evoke an old-school collegiate touch. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Elevated Collegiate Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-campus-collection.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Cozy Fall-Centric Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-mountain.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Homecoming-Enthused Collegiate Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homecoming-styles.md) - [Scrapbook-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform.md) - [Collegiate Outdoor Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-ivy.md) - [Outerwear-Centric Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bene-culture-3.md)
