# Relaxed Retro Lookbooks The Gutswrench 2013 Spring/Summer Collection is Composed By Katie Pagnotta | Published 2013-01-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gutswrench-2013-springsummer References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2013/1/gutswrench-2013-spring-summer-collection) & [gutswrench](http://www.gutswrench.com/) The Gutswrench 2013 Spring/Summer menswear line is cool, calm and collected. The genteel lookbook from the young Tokyo-based label is retro-inspired and depicts male models in relaxed poses and chill environments. Gutswrench is a newer label and this is its second collection. The debut is full of [layering staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-yoke) and has an old world feel to it. Each piece could literally last you a lifetime. The designer label is staying strong and pumping out some hip retro fashions for men. Highlights from the sharp 2013 collection include [quirky patterned blazers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apresse-2026) with mismatched pocket flaps, clean-lined zip-up jackets, [relaxed-fit suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein), playful hats and classic button-up dress shirts. All the pieces can be mixed and matched to create unifying looks. The Gutswrench 2013 Spring/Summer men's collection is hip, happening and a triumphant sophomore collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Relaxed Retro Menswear:** Designers can tap into the appeal of nostalgia while emphasizing comfort and ease in their men's fashion collections. - **Layered Staples:** Designers can create versatile, long-lasting clothing items for men that promote functional layering and dressing. - **Quirky Patterns:** Designers can add unique flair to their collections by incorporating unconventional patterns into classic menswear pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can integrate retro and relaxed vibes into their men's collections to stay on-trend and appeal to consumers. - **Menswear Retail:** Menswear retailers can capitalize on the demand for vintage-inspired clothing by incorporating relaxed and retro items into their inventory. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce retailers can cater to consumers looking for unique and quirky menswear by curating collections of patterned and layered clothing items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Scrapbook-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform.md) - [Workwear Spring Line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carhartt-wip-springsummer-2026.md) - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Summer-Centric Lifestyle Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-4.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md) - [Utility-Inspired Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khakis.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md)
