The sophisticated menswear collection boasted the brand's signature, preppy aesthetic and infused it with [sporty accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-barakett-spring) that would appeal to the city dweller on-the-go. So far, New York Fashion Week has been more about practicality and wearable design rather than drama and the latest [Perry Ellis collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perry-ellis1) is no exception. The brand's runway presentation was a revival of 90s yuppy styles that would appeal to American Psycho's Patrick Bateman but also featured unexpected looks that embodied an effortlessly cool aesthetic. In addition to its [causal suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aw24-suiting-collection), the collection featured printed shorts, windbreakers and lightweight knits that were targeted toward the style-conscious urban dweller. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 36% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sporty Preppy Fashion:** The fusion of preppy and sporty is a trend in fashion, offering an opportunity to showcase innovative designs that appeal to city dwellers. - **Effortlessly Cool Aesthetic:** Effortless cool is a trend in fashion, providing an opportunity for designers to create collections that embody a laidback and effortless sense of style. - **90s Yuppy Revival:** The revival of 90s yuppy style in modern fashion presents an opportunity for designers to reinterpret classic styles in contemporary ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of Sporty preppy fashion, effortlessly cool aesthetic and 90s yuppy revival in the upcoming collections. - **Retail Industry:** The Retail industry can benefit from bringing back the 90s yuppy style and updated preppy style clothing. - **Marketing Industry:** The Marketing Industry can capitalize on the trend of sporty preppy fashion, by creating and highlighting products that transform practical fashion into stylish, athletic apparel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Eclectic Preppy Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2.md) - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Elevated Casual Spring Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-barakett-spring.md) - [Palm Beach-Inspired Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-stuff.md) - [Apparel Drop Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/percival-ss25-drop-2.md) - [Stylish Urban Picnic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picnic-collection.md) - [Tailored Apparel Line-Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/west-coast-ivy-collection.md) - [Tailored Americana Summer Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poison-ivy-collection.md)
