For its Fall/Winter 2016 line, it draws most prominently from [retro styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme) -- bringing back classic cuts while supplying its own twist. This includes a number of varsity, leather and simple zippered jackets. All of these make use of minimal color palettes to complement the well-structured styles. One piece that especially stands out in the new NEEDS&WANTS collection is a two-toned lilac jacket that's made from premium suede. In addition to this unique design, NEEDS&WANTS includes a jacket in a similar cut that's marked by a deep mustard yellow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Sportswear:** Exploring the revival of classic cuts and designs in sportswear for a nostalgic yet modern appeal. - **Minimalist Aesthetics:** Embracing simplicity and clean lines in clothing designs to create versatile and timeless pieces. - **Luxury Streetwear:** Blending high-end materials and craftsmanship with urban fashion elements to create premium sportswear. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Opportunities for brands to reimagine retro styles and create modern sportswear collections. - **Apparel:** Incorporating minimalist aesthetics and luxurious materials into clothing designs for a high-end market. - **Streetwear:** Creating high-quality and stylish streetwear pieces that bridge the gap between luxury fashion and casual wear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Revived Counterculture Trackwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-fw5-track-suit.md) - [Minimalist Wardrobe Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-core.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Timeless Winter Outwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-and-winter-line.md) - [Modern Sport-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-wardrobing.md) - [Versatile Sportswear Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reigning-champ-fw24-collection.md) - [Seasonal Co-Ord Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-release.md) - [Leopard Tracksuit Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-for-nepenthes.md)
