# Color-Saturated Menswear The Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2012 Collection is Bright By John Ibbitson | Published 2012-01-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-fall-winter-2012 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/marc-jacobs-fallwinter-2012/) & [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es) As always, the [Marc Jacobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection) Fall/Winter 2012 collection offers up bold uses of uncommonly seen colors for his new line of [casual menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026). An Elmo-inspired, red fur hat, along with hues of yellow, green, brown and orange, that most associate with the sixties, make up the dominant color selections that can be seen in the garments of this lookbook. The clothing is modernly tailored, offering slim silhouettes and subtle details. My personal favorite is a pair of black and blue, [color-blocked track pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-wardrobing) that are separated with a line of red piping and are paired here with a matching bag. For those of you who have come to love the designer’s signature style of sportier, casual pieces, the new Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2012 collection does not disappoint. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 79% | 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 - **Color-saturated Menswear:** Opportunity to explore bold and unconventional color choices in menswear. - **Uncommon Color Selections:** Opportunity to incorporate unique and unexpected colors in fashion designs. - **Modern Tailoring:** Opportunity to create sleek and slim-fitting garments with subtle details. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in creating vibrant and unconventional menswear collections. - **Textile Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in developing fabrics and dyes that can produce bold and uncommon colors. - **Retail Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in offering sportier and more casual pieces for men in line with changing fashion trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Fall-Ready Bejewelled Denim Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacob-cohn.md) - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Playful Spring-Forward Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-charm-collection.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Art-Driven Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-artist-capsule.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Outdoor-Ready Luxurious Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-3.md)
