TRENDS / FORECAST

This season we’re looking to the new wave of ‘lower layering’ seen across both womenswear and menswear collections for Spring/Summer.

A progression of the grunge layering of seasons’ past, this new lower-half silhouette shows a more tailored, luxe evolution of the trend. Menswear comes with a minimalist edge at Damir Domar and Lanvin, moving towards a sports-inspired aesthetic at Phillip Lim. Leggings are layered beneath shorts or skirt shapes to add a new block of colour or texture to an outfit.

The ACNE SS12 show saw layering experiment with colour, with purple trousers offsetting orange and blue tones. At J. JS Lee, texture and opacity adds a softer edge to the trend, with a sheer skirt overlaying tailored trousers, whilst The Row’s collection uses tassel detailing to break up lines of tonal colour. Tone on tone layering is also explored at Richard Chai Love, with geometric patterned stripes and pleats adding depth.
