# Uniform Beige Collections Daks' Ready-to-Wear Fall Collection Reinvents the Trenchcoat By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-wear-fall-collection References: [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2014RTW-DAKSS/) & [style](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/designerdirectory/DAKSS/seasons/) The 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection from Daks celebrates its 120th anniversary with [simple camel colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-doesnt-matter), a few statement hats and the brand's signature check pattern. The silhouettes in the collection embody the [sophisticated ease](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025) that the brand is so well known for, although there were a few hints of looking ahead to the future such as with retro-futuristic gloves. Since the [classic trenchcoat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-trenchcoat) is commonly made in that familiar neutral brown coloring, it was interesting to see this shape reinvented as more of a dress. Some of the reinterpretations of the trench included turning its shape into strapless dresses and bustles, which made for a form that was familiar, yet also quite unusual at the same time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Neutral-toned Clothing:** Opportunity for brands to innovate by offering clothing collections in neutral beige colors. - **Retro-futuristic Fashion:** Disruptive innovation potential lies in creating fashion pieces that blend retro design elements with futuristic touches. - **Reinventing Classic Silhouettes:** Brands can explore new ways to reinvent traditional clothing shapes, such as turning trenchcoats into strapless dresses and bustles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore the trend of creating clothing collections in neutral beige colors. - **Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory brands to create retro-futuristic gloves and other fashion items. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can adapt to the demand for unconventional clothing shapes by offering production services for strapless trenchcoat dresses and bustles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fall Technical Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atom-collection.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Timeless Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-classics.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Desert-Inspired Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection.md) - [Luxe Leather Trenchcoats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-trenchcoat.md) - [Fall-Centric Layered Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw24.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md)
