Specifically influenced by the laid-back vibe of the [reggae culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade), it is rife with "easy silhouettes, like apron-style frocks and tops, [that] were cut in madras plaids traditional to the Caribbean," Style.com points out. The palette itself is inspired by the colors of the Jamaican flag. Yet the M Missoni Resort 2015 collection maintains its signature intricate patterns as well. By finding a balance between the two, the collection is made perfect for modern women. Whether a professional looking for something fun for the office or a traveller heading to an exotic destination, the M Missoni Resort 2015 collection has them covered. There are versatile skirts, shirts and even the odd jumpsuit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reggae-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate reggae-inspired elements into their designs. - **Caribbean-inspired Patterns:** Potential for designers to create patterns influenced by traditional Caribbean textiles. - **Versatile Resort Wear:** Demand for versatile clothing options for women who want to look stylish while traveling or working in the office. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore incorporating reggae-inspired elements into their collections. - **Textile:** Opportunity for textile manufacturers to create fabrics with patterns inspired by Caribbean textiles. - **Travel:** Travel and tourism industry can cater to the demand for versatile and stylish resort wear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jamaican Folklore-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anansi-rhythm.md) - [Resort-Ready Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Modern Vacation Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-wear-collection.md) - [Culturally Backed Fashion Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brigade.md) - [Romantic Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kallmeyer-resort-2026-collection.md) - [Island Print Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spice-island.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md)
