This week, Trendstop reveal three key aspects of our Fall/Winter 2018-19 menswear theme, The Elemental Estate to FashionUnited readers. Fall embraces the elements, taking inspiration from rugged landscapes, winter wildernesses and windswept highlands. Cocooning silhouettes, cosy textures and heritage handcrafting are modernised with subtle sportswear influences and performance qualities to bring the technical and traditional together.

The Elemental Estate - Apparel

Cocooning outerwear protects against the elements with layered, padded textures, plush fabrications and thick knits creating voluminous silhouettes. Intarsia knits in Scandinavian inspired patterns hint at a homespun, handcrafted aesthetic that both compliments and contrasts with the technical coatings and rain-proof technological aspects.

The Elemental Estate - Print & Materials

Cosy borgs, rugged shearlings and towelling textures provide add extra warmth to heavy winter constructions while rubberised treatments and tubular quilting introduce a technical quality to seasonal materials. Print and pattern takes inspiration from nature with landscape motifs seemingly blurred and distorted by harsh winter climates.

The Elemental Estate - Footwear & Accessories

Fall footwear and accessories focus on functionality and durability in the great outdoors. Sports inspired trail runners and sturdy hiker hybrid boots mix traditional constructions and performance components for a sure-footed feel. Cross-body utility packs have a clean, unfussy aesthetic with extreme sports inspired hardware details that compliment their practical hands-free quality.
