# Drapey Neutral Layering Outerwear Trove Drops a Range of Outerwear inspired by Japanese Tradition By Amy Duong | Published 2018-05-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trove References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2018/5/trove-fall-winter-2018-collection) & [trove.shop-pro.jp](https://trove.shop-pro.jp/) Japanese label Trove follows its relaxed Spring/Summer 2018 range with a drop of [drapey outerwear pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transhabit-collection) inspired by traditional Japanese apparel. The latest collection continues the label's streak of earthy hues, while broadening its palette subtly with plaid prints and colder neutral hues. There is a range of collarless coat pieces and gowns that take on lengthy silhouettes created perfectly for [layering underneath parkas, capes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-seainspired-fallwinter-2025-line), and trimmed fur jackets. The new collection also delivers a wide fitted trouser to balance out the heavy uppers, drawing inspiration directly from the [Japanese jinbei and hakama pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-mason-japanese-twill-collection). There are also selections of scarves and knits to warm up for the colder weathers, and button-up boots as well. The Trove collection will be available online later this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Drapey Neutral Layering Outerwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop lightweight and versatile outerwear that can be easily layered for added style and functionality. - **Japanese-inspired Apparel:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create a collection that combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern designs and materials, appealing to a wide range of consumers. - **Expansion of Earthy Hues:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Introduce new color palettes and prints that incorporate earthy tones, allowing for unique and trendy outerwear options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Launch an online platform that curates and sells a variety of drapey neutral layering outerwear, catering to the growing demand for versatile and fashionable clothing items. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop new fabrics and techniques that mimic the drapey and comfortable qualities of Japanese outerwear, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials. - **Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Design and produce a line of scarves and boots that complement drapey neutral layering outerwear, offering a cohesive and stylish ensemble for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Winter Apparel Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyone-tokyo-fallwinter-2025.md) - [Layered Utility Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-yoke.md) - [Minimally Elegant Fall-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-1.md) - [Utility Layering Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jjjjound-x-descente.md) - [Luxury Earth-Toned Workwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-doesnt-matter.md) - [Future-Forward Layering Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-seainspired-fallwinter-2025-line.md) - [Fall-Centric Layered Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw24.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Minimalist Wardrobe Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-core.md)
