The Industry is Evolving
The Gentleman’s Fashion Industry has experienced many changes and developments in recent years.
Whilst the classic Gentleman style and timeless pieces stay relevant and a focus within the industry, there have been significant changes in certain categories:
- Sustainability
- Customization
- Streetwear
- Digitalisation
In this blog post, we want to give you insight on the newest developments within these categories and explain to you, how Gentleman’s Game is approaching the industries trends.
Sustainability
Sustainability has become a major trend in the world, but especially in the fashion industry, with the Gentleman sector being so exception. Many designers are opting for the use of sustainable materials and ethical production practices. This trend is relevant in the accessories sector, as companies start producing eco-friendly leather goods such as wallets, belts and bags. Our product portfolio has not been expanded to this sector just yet. However we are planning to in the future and this aspect is something we have to consider when going forward with this process.
Customisation
The world is becoming increasingly individualistic. People strive to be unique. The same goes in the fashion industry, especially in Gentleman’s fashion industry. Many designers and retailers offer customisation services, allowing customers to tailor their clothing based on their specific preferences. This includes everything from suits and turtlenecks to shoes and accessories. The rise of 3D printing technology has also made it easier for designers to create customised items for their clients. The future of customisation in the Gentleman’s fashion industry has arrived.
Streetwear
Streetwear has grown immensely within the fashion industry in the last 5 years. It has also made its move into the Gentleman’s sector. Designers have started to incorporate streetwear elements into their collections. A recent trend that has developed; suits with sneakers. Wearing a blazer with suit trousers and sneakers is now in fashion and gives a young, sporty but yet sophisticated vibe. Wearing bracelets with suits has also become a trend within the industry. We are currently undergoing a merge of Streetwear and Gentleman’s fashion. In future collections, we may be adding special items that are from the Streetwear segment and combine them with some of our true classics.
Digitalisation
The Covid 19 pandemic has forced many industries to adapt to a more digital approach, including the Gentleman’s fashion industry. Many brick-and-mortar retailers have moved their operations online, offering special features to recreated the retails shop feeling, such as virtual fittings and consultations to their customers. Gentleman’s Game is capitalising on the digitalisation as we are a Gentleman’s fashion brand operating entirely online. By optimising our services and adding new features such as the ones mentioned in the near future, we want to offer our customers an easy way to shop for sophisticated clothing from the comfort of their own homes, without having to visit a store.
The Gentleman’s fashion industry has seen a lot of change in recent years. This means change and challenges, but also creates new life and excitement within the industry. As we move forward, it will be interesting to see how these trends evolve and what new development emerge.
