Mega Trend 2

Maximal Techniques – With high functional fabric developments and the need for basic better items fast-tracked due to the global pandemic, demand for high-performing essentials is growing. Sub-trends include:

• Thermoregulation: As activities shift between different environments and needs, consumers seek core items that adapt to changing temperatures. Cooling and warming techniques will play a key role. 

• Move Booster: Consumers will increasingly expect fabric innovations and comfort stretch as a given, not only for performance wear, but also in core items as well. Update core pieces by emphasizing comfort and support. 

• Tough Layers: As more consumers resume their outdoor activity, apparel needs to work harder to withstand all the elements. Lighter, more durable and protective layers will become essential for outdoor apparel.
