# Dark Seafarer Fashions The Nicholas K Fall 2014 Collection Has Nautical Detailing By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-02-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicholas-k-fall-2014 References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2014RTW-NICHOLASK) & [nicholask](http://nicholask.com/) The Nicholas K Fall 2014 collection was one of the first shows to kick off Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week in New York City, showing off a chic collection of garments for men and women. Considering that it’s anticipated that the forecast for this year’s NYFW will bring snow, rain and more snow, attendees of the Nicholas K show were probably a little jealous of the cozy ensembles on the models. The collection takes inspiration from book and movie titles like ‘Men at Sea’ and ‘Deadliest Catch.’ It’s always a little chillier by the water and it’s no secret that [fishermen know how to stay warm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-x-uniqlo). Some of the [nautical influences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanamica-springsummer-2026) can be seen in the knits, rope detailing and the practical Honeywell boots. Although there are a few midriff-baring styles in the Fall 2014 collection, there are plenty of [knits, jackets and wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerisma-knits) to cover them up with. While the trousers for both men and women are more form-fitting, tops are draped in a much more loose, relaxed manner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nautical-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create stylish garments with nautical detailing. - **Weather-adaptive Fashion:** Potential for creating cozy and practical ensembles for extreme weather conditions. - **Gender-fluid Fashion:** Scope to design garments that cater to both men and women with loose, relaxed draping. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in creating nautical-inspired garments. - **Footwear Manufacturing:** Potential for producing practical boots like the Honeywell boots showcased in the collection. - **Knitwear Production:** Opportunity to produce knits, jackets, and wraps to cater to the demand for cozy ensembles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Parisian Sophisticated Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nn07.md) - [Earth-Honoring Fall-Ready Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanamica-4.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Comfortable Sophisticated Knit Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerisma-knits.md) - [Minimal Tailored Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea.md) - [Classic Fisherman-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seafarer-cotton-sweaters.md)
