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.

## 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.
