[Long coats, boots, hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-autumn-winter-2025) and beards seem to be every man's perfect and most stylish method of protection against this year's potentially frigid weather. The looks may have men wishing to skip summer and head straight for falling leaves so they can get their hands on some of the sleek jackets and elegantly eye-grabbing casual outfits that were presented during the show. From [waistcoats to plaid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nn07), the pieces from the collection littered the runway with outfits that presumed high-class European etiquette. Fashion trend spotters can expect to see tributes to the past with a Holmey swagger -- perhaps even a few received pronunciation techniques to match language with appearance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Sherlock Holmes Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to create modern, sleek jackets and elegantly eye-grabbing casual outfits inspired by Sherlock Holmes. - **High-class European Etiquette:** Opportunity for fashion trend spotters to observe and incorporate high-class European etiquette into their fashion choices. - **Tributes to the Past with a Holmey Swagger:** Opportunity for fashion designers to pay homage to the past by incorporating Holmes-inspired elements with a modern twist. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion designers to create modern, sleek jackets and elegantly eye-grabbing casual outfits inspired by Sherlock Holmes. - **Fashion Trend Spotting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion trend spotters to observe and incorporate high-class European etiquette into their fashion choices. - **Fashion Performance & Showcasing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion designers to create shows that pay homage to the past by incorporating Holmes-inspired elements with a modern twist. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Timeless Sophisticated Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fallwinter-2025.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Seasonal Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siegelman-stable-1.md) - [Heritage Winter Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-winter.md) - [Fall-Centric Layered Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw24.md) - [Parisian Sophisticated Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nn07.md) - [Outerwear-Centric Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bene-culture-3.md)
