TREND FORECASTING ASSESSMENT FALL/WINTER 2012–2013 • Trend Research Overview • This season, menswear will take two different directions: the
tailored, sophisticated man and the casual, well-dressed man. These trends will encompass neutral tones (black and gray) with splashes of bright colors (orange, cobalt blue, red, and yellow) in bold floral prints and stripes.
• The tailored and casual trends will be represented in slim silhouettes, with all the garments conforming to the male body.
• Note to students: This slide is meant to serve as a guide. Your Trend Research Overview should be at least 10–12 sentences in length.
INSPIRATION #1 • Romanticism
• My first inspiration comes from the Romantic Era that took place in Europe in the 18th century. During this era there was a newfound understanding of emotions, science, and the arts. The standard look for men during this era was a tailored three-piece suit and other garments that conformed to the body.

INSPIRATION #2 • The Gold Rush
• My second inspiration comes from the California Gold Rush of 1849. During this time men were eager to move West with hopes of finding gold and striking it rich. These men wore garments that could withstand the rugged, hot environment.
