Inspired by a [1980s streetwear aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse), this menswear line shines a light on loose fitting shapes and exaggerated shoulder silhouettes that are reminiscent of the iconic era. With a mix of [fur-clad statement sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection), [tailored trenches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026) and low crotch trousers, this edgy runway presentation is a fresh take on a classic 80s inspiration.

From all-white ensembles to a secondary palette of muted earth tones, the Ricardo Dourado Fall/Winter 2013 collection marries modern concepts and design details with his signature brand of urban flair and street sophistication. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## 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 - **Oversized Silhouettes:** Designers can explore oversized silhouettes and exaggerated shoulder silhouettes that are reminiscent of the iconic 80s era and transform them to exemplify sleek and understated elegance - **Mixing Textures:** Fashion brands can create disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating mixing textures into their fashion lines to represent modern concepts with urban flair and street sophistication - **All-white Ensembles:** The all-white ensembles trend presents an opportunity for designers to utilize bold and refreshing looks as a representation of a muted earth tones secondary palette ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capture opportunities within the industry by creating a fresh take on a classic 80s inspiration with oversized silhouettes and mixing textures - **Textile:** Textile companies can leverage their products by supplying new and unique materials to designers to create innovative fashion pieces, such as statement sweaters or fur-lined coats - **Retail:** Retail companies can spot disruption by featuring modern fashion concepts in their stores that appeal to consumers looking for sleek and sophisticated takes on classic fashion trends ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Seaside-Influenced Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fort-2.md) - [Sartorial Co-Ed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulland-2.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Oversized Winter Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-symphony.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Futuristic Statement Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md)
