Trend Forecast: Darcie

Androgyny has been a key trend in men's and women's wear for the last few seasons.  As work wear and casual wear define the times - through the economic and political climate - we'll see a return of gender roles in fashion.  Specifically menswear will become more masculine.

Silhouettes will become boxier, wider and more relaxed.  Pants and suits will be less fitted, overcoats and layering will define the looks.  Accessories will be key in identifying individual style and an emphasis on local manufacturing, hand-made products and quality materials will be most prevalent.
