# Obscure Pattern-Lined Streetwear The New 'uniform experiment' Line Features a Range of Patterns By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-01-31 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-uniform-experiment References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2017/1/uniform-experiment-2017-spring-summer-collection-317) & [soph.net](http://www.soph.net/blog/2017/01/27/2017_ss_collection_4.html) The new uniform experiment collection boasts a variety of different patterns, which are often paired together to create a highly original look. For example, one jacket includes a classic leopard print on the exterior, but the interior features a combination of light green and dark purple hues, which create a unique design that contrasts with the leopard print in a complementary fashion. Another jacket does this similarly, however its [exterior is camouflage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grottoflage) while its interior is marked by a more simple leopard pattern than what was used for the previously mentioned jacket. This pattern is included on the upper half of the back of the jacket as well -- making for a clean contrast that's not usually seen. In addition to these pieces, the new uniform experiment collection includes [pants with stripes down the legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climber-easy-pants), fishing vests, crewnecks, hats and even phone cases. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## 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 - **Pattern-mixing Fashion:** Opportunity for clothing designers to experiment with unconventional combinations of patterns in their pieces - **Customizable Interiors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to offer customizable interior patterns in clothes - **Patterned Phone Cases:** Opportunity for designers to expand their product offerings to phone accessories and incorporate unique patterns ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** New collection presents opportunity to explore ways to incorporate unconventional pattern pairings and customization options in apparel lines - **Accessories Industry:** Opportunity for designers to expand product lines to accessories, including phone cases, featuring unique and bold patterns - **Design Industry:** Opportunity for graphic designers to collaborate with clothing designers to create custom patterns for interiors of clothing ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Utility Tokyo Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-winter.md) - [Modular Daily Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-uniform-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Outerwear-Centric Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bene-culture-3.md) - [Utility Street Fashion Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood.md) - [Street Utility Rugged Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-violet-collection.md) - [Layered Utility Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-yoke.md) - [Urban Utility Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-x-beams.md)
