For its spring/summer '16 collection, the Topman Design brand has tapped into previous rocker styles and [retro aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet). Presented to the London fashion crowd on June 12th 2015, this collection features looks that appeal to [punk fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms) as well as the English Northern Soul dance scene. The Topman Design team shamelessly created looks that maximized its versatile theme with embroidered leather vests, badge-heavy denim, wide-leg trousers and 80s-influenced sportswear. While other [spring/summer collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5) have showed its 70s style through a bohemian beauty, the Topman Design Spring collection offers high-waist trousers in colors from pale pink to cool blue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North 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 - **Exaggerated Punk Collections:** Fashion brands can explore the opportunity to tap into previous rocker styles and retro aesthetics while offering versatile themes in their collections. - **Retro Aesthetics in Menswear:** Fashion brands can incorporate nostalgic styles, such as those from the English Northern Soul dance scene, in their menswear collections. - **80s-influenced Sportswear:** Fashion brands can maximize on the trend of 80s influences by offering sportswear inspired by that era. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion brands can incorporate nostalgic trends to expand their collections. - **Textile Industry:** Textile manufacturers can develop materials that emulate retro aesthetics and punk fashion for use in clothing production. - **Active Wear Industry:** Active wear companies can incorporate 80s influences in their designs to appeal to consumers who enjoy an aesthetic from that era. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Refreshed Expressive Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-relaunch.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Punk History Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md) - [Summer-Inspired Vibrant Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-rebel.md) - [Fabric-Centric Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-nation-5.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambush-5.md)
