TRENDS

We’ve moved on to our FDC’s third Active & Outdoor sub-trend, Leisurely Movement!

Leisurely Movement: affective outdoor wear for daily hiking life

Outdoor products for hiking focusing on design and atmosphere, not just functionality, are becoming popular this SS27 season. Soft mood and bright toned items help to make hiking a bit easier and more enjoyable in the nature. With the on- going athleisure trend, these functional garments designed for hiking can also be worn as lifestyle pieces, perfect for heading out on the town at any time.
