# Preppy Lecturer Fashions The GANT By Michael Bastian Fall 2013 Menswear Collection is Conservative By Katie Pagnotta | Published 2013-01-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gant-by-michael-bastian References: [selectism](http://www.selectism.com/2013/01/30/gant-by-michael-bastian-stockbridge-fall-winter-2013-menswear/) & [gant](http://www.gant.com/men) The GANT by Michael Bastian Fall 2013 menswear collection is layered, luxe and a prepster's dream. The 2013 menswear collection was shot set in a wooded lecture hall. The looks are sophisticated and styled to perfection. Accessories play a key role in this conservative collection. They add playful splashes to the ensembles and lighten up the mood of the looks. For instance, a green scarf and folded belt bring a stuffy purple striped pullover to life and a hooked belt makes a tucked in shirt appear hip. Must-have pieces from the [preppy men's collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2) include tapered red trousers, a stunning cobalt blue plaid shirt and a [large paneled square tweed blazer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026). The GANT by Michael Bastian Fall 2013 menswear collection is polished and put together. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Layered Luxe:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could include creating new fabrics and techniques for layered and luxurious menswear collections. - **Playful Accessories:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in the accessories industry by introducing unique and whimsical designs that can elevate conservative looks. - **Preppy Chic:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation exist in creating modern and stylish interpretations of preppy fashion for the menswear industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore new ways to incorporate layered and luxurious elements into menswear collections. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can focus on creating playful and unique designs that complement conservative fashion trends. - **Menswear:** Innovation opportunities exist within the menswear industry to create modern and fashionable interpretations of preppy styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Tailored Apparel Line-Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/west-coast-ivy-collection.md) - [Heritage Winter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Bold Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-fw25.md) - [Timeless Sophisticated Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Collegiate Outdoor Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-ivy.md) - [Eclectic Preppy Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md)
