Trend Prediction Package “Aquatic Utility” S/S 2024

By Arlo Fenn

“Aquatic Utility” Out of the ashes of Gorpcore, like a burning Pheonix, rises “Aquatic Utility”. On the back of hiking culture, brands are now taking things under the sea and taking inspiration from the viberant life on the ocean floor. We can expect to see bright punchy colour such a oranges, purples, blues and greens. Coral is the colour of the season and the reef is the all the rage.

In a post quarantine society people are wanting to be outside more than ever before. With Gorpcore being such a huge fashion trend and the leading brand in the trend, Arcteryx’s annual revenue sky rocketing to 774 million dollars in 2022, which is 39% more than the previous year, is almost inevetable that it will beat that again this year. With trendy outdoor clothing set on being the most sort after thing this fall, Spring/Summer of 2024 is looking like colourful footwear that is perfect for long coastal walk and windy beach days.
