Instead of opting for overly radiant colors for Spring/Summer, Lacoste keeps it chic with these vintage-inspired fashions reworked for a more modern feel. The collection includes a series of buttonless blazers, color-blocked collared shirts and matching pants and all-over-white ensembles. The colors are mainly in pastels: light pinks, blues, beiges, off-whites and the like. Lacoste sticks to a traditional 1970s feel, with some relaxed fits, and slim-fit pants. The Lacoste’s Spring/Summer 2014 Menswear Collection provides a classic feel while tailoring some of the fits to a more modern style. This collection is not to be missed and will be available come early 2014. Stay on the lookout for more pieces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, 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's Driving This Trend - **Minimalist Menswear:** The use of minimalist design and color is a growing trend in men's fashion. - **Vintage-inspired Fashion:** Vintage-inspired fashion is becoming more popular in men's clothing lines, offering nostalgic styles with a modern twist. - **Color-blocking:** The use of color-blocking is a popular trend in fashion, allowing for bold and unique color combinations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion/apparel:** The fashion/apparel industry can further explore minimalist design and vintage-inspired fashion with a modern feel for men's clothing lines. - **Textile/manufacturing:** The textile/manufacturing industry may benefit from the growing trend of color-blocking by offering customizable fabric options for designers. - **Retail:** Retailers can leverage the popularity of minimalist and vintage-inspired fashion by promoting and offering these styles in their stores. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elegant Sporty Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-swimwear-collection.md) - [Modern Sport-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-wardrobing.md) - [Neutral Collaborative Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-and-highsnobiety.md) - [Dynamic Spring-Ready Preppy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l003-2k24-sneaker.md) - [Porcelain-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacoste-x-clot.md) - [Heritage Tennis Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-tennis-runways.md) - [Performance-Ready Stylish Tennis Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineshot.md) - [Colorful Fall Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-fleur-and-lacoste.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md)
