# Desert Winter-Inspired Menswear The O.N.S. FW18 Collection Stays Close to Nature By Amy Duong | Published 2018-04-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ons References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/4/ons-fall-winter-2018) & [onsclothing](https://www.onsclothing.com/) Fashion label O.N.S. dropped its newest seasonal collection for Fall/Winter 2018, made suitable for [minimalists and explorers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-core). The inspiration is drawn from the aesthetics of winter in [desert environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection) -- where there are scorched hues during the daytime and nights welcome windswept darkness. The capsule itself is comprised of a widely expansive range of pieces fundamental to the wardrobe of any explorer. The selection in the new O.N.S. Fall/Winter 2018 collection includes [sport-like knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-wardrobing), reversible coach jackets, cable knit sweaters, shearling-collared bomber jackets, flannel-lined trucker jackets, topcoats and more. The color palette remains fairly neutral, staying true to the earthy theme it boasts -- there are hues of beige and white, as well as darker tones like black and dark blue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Desert Winter-inspired Menswear:** Fashion designers can create seasonal collections inspired by contrasting environments to offer unique attire for adventurers all year round. - **Minimalist Explorer Essentials:** Designers can create collections featuring versatile pieces suitable for explorers with a simple and functional aesthetic. - **Neutral Earthy Color Palette:** Designers can create collections with a neutral color palette that stays true to the natural environment it is inspired by. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** Designers can use contrasting environments, such as the desert and winter, to create unique and functional collections for explorers. - **Outdoor Gear Industry:** Outdoor gear companies can invest in creating functional and versatile gear with a minimalist aesthetic for explorers. - **Textile Industry:** The textile industry can produce fabrics with earthy tones suitable for designers creating seasonal collections inspired by natural environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Parisian Sophisticated Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nn07.md) - [Timeless Winter Outwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-and-winter-line.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Technical Winter Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/descente-allterrain-fw25.md) - [Urban Layered Outdoor Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andwander-fw25.md) - [Luxury Earth-Toned Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-doesnt-matter.md)
