# Elaborately Decorative Menswear The Etro Men's Spring Collection Showcases Dramatic Patterning By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2015-06-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etro-mens-spring References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashion-shows/spring-2016-menswear/etro) & [wwd](http://wwd.com/runway/mens-spring-collections-2016/review/etro/) While the entire S/S '16 season has been about volume and relaxed fabrics, the [Etro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etro-birkenstock-1774-collection) Men's Spring '16 Collection boldly stands out with exaggerated jacquard patterns and [slim silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026). Utilizing a vibrant color palette, this collection features narrow trousers, knee-length jackets and a variety of suits in abstract shades and hues. [Robin's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-valentines-day-collection) egg blue and dusty ochre are just a few of the colors used with eccentric patterns such as tribal print, organic shapes and the brand's signature paisley print. Various garments within this collection feature a shimmering surface shine. The shirts glisten with iridescent threads and a slight touch of lame as well as metallic squares. The Etro Men's Spring '16 Collection is clearly for the experimental man unafraid of pose patterning and bright colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 49% | 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Exaggerated Jacquard Patterns:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new fabric printing techniques to create even more intricate and eye-catching patterns. - **Slim Silhouettes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative tailoring techniques to achieve slim silhouettes while maintaining comfort and range of motion. - **Vibrant Color Palette:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and eco-friendly dyeing methods to produce vibrant and long-lasting colors in fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize sustainable materials and production methods to align with the growing demand for eco-fashion. - **Textile Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore advanced digital printing technologies to enable faster and more efficient production of elaborate patterns on fabrics. - **Tailoring:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology and automation to streamline and enhance the tailoring process for customized slim-fit garments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Vibrant Bold Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bruceglen.md) - [Refined Utility Tailoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md)
