The [Danish cycling brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-carson) stays committed to its sporty, ['90s-style aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90sinspired-soccer-collection). What is it about the '90s that we just can't let go? The prolific decade continues to be referenced, however minimally, in numerous fashion collections. For the Spring/Summer season, Rascals' offers color-blocked and striped pieces that stay on par with the brand's athleticism. One eye-catching piece is a [satin varsity jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyle-scott1), inspired by Muy Thai, a martial arts combat sport. The jacket is paired with matching shorts for a cohesive ensemble. Overall, the collection is a very strong effort for a brand that is still relatively new to the game. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 37% | 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) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **90s Fashion Revival:** Opportunity for brands to incorporate elements of the '90s into their collections to appeal to nostalgic consumers. - **Athletic-inspired Fashion:** Potential for brands to create collections inspired by sports and martial arts to cater to the active lifestyle trend. - **Color-blocking and Stripes:** Trend for designers to incorporate bold and contrasting patterns into their collections for a fresh and modern look. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Possibility for clothing brands to create collections with a mix of vintage and modern styles to appeal to a wider audience. - **Sports and Fitness:** Opportunity for athletic brands to expand their product lines beyond traditional activewear to include more fashion-forward and versatile pieces. - **Martial Arts and Combat Sports:** Potential for combat sports brands to create stylish and functional clothing that can be worn both in and out of the gym. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Old-School Soccer Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90sinspired-soccer-collection.md) - [Retro Sports Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme.md) - [Long-Distance Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevet.md) - [Bright Timeless Spring Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-spring-2024-collection.md) - [Spring-Ready Technical Danish Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fce-2.md) - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Reinvented Motorcross Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-x-fox-lab.md) - [Collaborative Artistic Bicycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-carson.md) - [Adventure-Ready Durable Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/explore-collection.md)
