FOR HIM Layering is the key to styling this trend. Start with a long-sleeve thermal (camouflage and nautical stripes are good bets this season), add a marled hoodie to get in on the heather trend and finish the look with a great jacket or blazer in an outerwear fabric for a tech-inspired finish.

FOR HER A slightly slouchy oversized layer on top paired with slim- fitting, closed-hem, fleece bottoms get you in on the Sporting Luxury 2.0 look. Glam it up a little with a tee that brings a metallic shimmer to your style.

O N T R E N DFIT FOR LIFEThe Sporting Luxury look continues to grow as the market for comfortable activewear uptrends and staple items like jeans downtrend. Our need to be fit for life plays a part in this movement but the strength behind the trend is the dizzying array of clothing designed for the gym that can also be worn out to dinner with friends.

SOPHISTICATED SPORTYA neutral palette is shifting this popular trend in a slightly more sophisticated direction. Activewear items that used to be mainly bold color statements are now being incorporated more easily into lifestyle looks that can also be worn to the office.

VARSITY STYLINGCollegiate looks continue to gain momentum and are becoming must-have fashion pieces. Whether a

football jersey, an oversized letterman jacket or a baseball jersey, these

key pieces bring a bit of the team spirit to the runway and to

the looks in today’s popular style magazines.

MESH & LACE

Textural surfaces bring visual

interest to fabrics today and

mesh is a key material. Micro

and macro mesh are equally

important as are lace “mesh”

tonal inserts, which lend a

sporty femininity to classic

silhouettes.

SHIMMER

A subtle sparkle adds just

enough glam to turn a

simple tank top into a

fashion statement.

METALLIC ACCENTS

Liquid metal accents elevate

sporty styles to a luxe level, while

metallic foils give graphic tees a

new, bling-worthy intensity.

COLOR-CONTRAST PIPING

A fine detail like contrast piping

makes an impactful statement

as it frames and highlights

key style features.

TONE-ON-TONE BRANDING

Add depth with tone-on-tone decorating. Textural elements

bring attention to the design while adhering to the current

trend toward subtle brand messaging.

For Spring 2015, yellow is bright and energetic. Look for everything from warm buttercup shades to more acidic tones – especially in sports apparel.

Green will mimic tropical foliage in hues reminiscent of emerald, the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year. Military themes also play a role, including everything from olive to rich hunter green.

O N T R E N DPASTELSPastels remain important in 2015. Look for soft, sophisticated, chalky hues even in performance knits. In cottons, a return to pigment dying elevates the pastel color story to significant status.

MARSALA Marsala is a warm terracotta hue that is often interpreted into tones anywhere from rich red-brown to burgundy. It is the 2015 PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR and will hit the scene in a vast range of product categories.

TRENDS IN COLOR this year swing from SOFT PASTEL TONES to HIGHLY SATURATED,

VIBRANT hues. From the RUNWAYS to the sidewalks and from ACTIVEWEAR

This season blue is greatly inspired by the sea and sky. Beautiful shades of blue evoke images of lakes and tropical waters, clear skies and dark, stormy clouds all play a part in this palette.

Purple is an increasingly important color family that will gain market share through the year and into 2016. Lavender, lilac and dark iris will all be at home in retail windows.

Pink and berry continue to be essential colors in women’s activewear. These tones are anything but “girly,” conveying instead a strong, feminine energy with their rich, saturated hue.

The upsurge in urban bike commuting has created a whole new industry of garments and accessories with commute-friendly features such as stretch, wicking, odor resistance and sometimes even reflective qualities for late-night riding.

TECH-SAVVY ACCESSORIES

Apparel and accessories from baseball caps to backpacks are benefiting from performance fabrics and features as we require each item we buy to do more for us. Baseball caps become training caps with low profiles to stay secure as you run or cycle. Backpacks are waterproof and stylish to keep our essential electronics safe while looking appropriate even when worn with a suit.

FOR HIM & HER

As the momentum toward better personal fitness continues to grow, we are finding that great performance layers are paramount to the success of an active lifestyle. Look for base, mid- and outer layers to become even more agile to keep up with the full range of activities that we have on any given day. Combine fashion and sport with cotton hand-feel performance base layers and wind- and water-resistant soft shells in softened neutrals or sophisticated black.

TEXTURE

Grid-like textures in performance fabrics add wicking for fine-tuned moisture control. Look to mesh (both micro and macro) as a continuing direction in the market as it lends cooling properties and satisfies the current trend toward fabrics with subtle surface textures.

MULTI-FUNCTION FABRICS

Simple, timeless silhouettes are taking over in the world of performance apparel even as consumers are requiring more benefits of each garment. Knit

polo shirts in high performance polyester fibers that resist odor and wick moisture to keep you cool still must feel like your softest cotton t-shirt. Today’s cutting-edge materials are multi-functional and prove their worth every time. They keep you stylish and comfortable from your morning commute through dinner with friends.

REFLECTIVE ACCENTS

Night sports continue to gain in popularity and biking to work in urban settings is becoming the commute of choice for many. Because of this, ultra-reflective trims have emerged as a key style element and are taking on a new fashion status. Be safe, be seen and be up on the latest trend.

CLASSICS WITH A TWIST

For a fresh way to wear a wardrobe classic, try a look that is showing up in many magazine editorials – a simple white oxford shirt tucked loosely into a skirt. For the ultimate twist on a classic, check out iconic shirt styles made from performance pique knit fabrics usually reserved for polos. You can wear it with a suit and then hit the golf course without stopping at the locker room.
