Remixing a traditional vacationer wardrobe, the designer brought a refined taste of Europe to the New York Fashion Week stage. Models walked the runway in tropical pineapple trousers, oversized safari jackets and a range of vividly hued garments that were comfortable and beach-ready. This collection brought a touch of sophistication to classic vacationer staples like [cabana garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-wear-collection) and sun-shielding hat accessories. Whether planning a cruise in St. Tropez or a Jungle-themed trip to an African safari, the Michael Bastian Spring/Summer 2014 menswear collection is an elegantly modern translation of traditional travel-wear. Marrying his [impeccable tailoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26) with visually vivid prints, the designer pairs timeless wardrobe essentials with cheeky and personality-filled graphics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 49% | 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Travel-themed Aesthetic:** Opportunities for designers to create travel-inspired collections that blend traditional vacationer staples with modern touches. - **Vividly Hued Garments:** Demand for vibrant, colorful clothing that brings a touch of sophistication to classic vacationer staples. - **Elegantly Modern Translation:** The need for designers to create updated, refined versions of traditional travel-wear for the modern traveler. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore travel-themed collections that combine traditional vacationer wear with modern elements. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can market and promote travel experiences that are inspired by the fashion industry's travel-themed aesthetic. - **Textiles:** The textiles industry can innovate and develop fabrics and materials that are vibrant and comfortable for vacationer garment designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Luxe Whimsical Resort-Style Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-regis-x-vilbrequin.md) - [Luggage-Honoring Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-flight-mode-collection.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Elevated Casual Spring Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-barakett-spring.md) - [Vintage Miami Beachwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-2024-menswear-collection.md) - [Travel-Friendly Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lake-geneva-series.md) - [Men's Summer Swimwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vilebrequin-x-joel-mesler.md) - [Eclectic Preppy Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2.md)
