INSIGHTS AND RESEARCH Fashion trends come and go, but denim jeans are one item of clothing that will always be a staple in many closets. It’s the particular style of denim that changes year after year, some decades seeing a rise in baggy jeans, others full of tight, low-rise moments. Jeans have been around since the mid-1800s and they’ve undergone a lot of changes. In the 1990s, the most popular trend was big and baggy jeans. In the 2000s, skinny jeans and colourful jeans began gaining popularity which stuck around for a while. Ripped jeans are the fashion trend that has refused to die, but there are signs that 20 years after Kate Moss and a selection of indie rockers first sported skinny jeans, they may finally be losing their allure. This means the public will be waiting for a new denim trend meaning now is the perfect time for inside out denim to start.
My original idea came for seeing a lot of ‘inside out’ clothing. I’ve been seeing a lot of tops – mainly made out of more sheer fabrics, that have had their seams on the outside. I personally love this idea I feel it gives a whole different look/feel to what basically is a simple top. With the amount of love these tops got I though the idea of doing this is a garment that everyone wears daily would have a much bigger effect and have the potential to become the new next trend from Spring/Summer 2021.
TREND PREDICTION
Inside out denim could so be the new trend! Spring/Summer 2021 is literally begging for a new trend and why not a new denim trend? Every pair ofjeans has been a huge trend so lets add another to the mix. There once was once a time where ‘inside out’ tops were in trend – mainly lighter sheer fabrics, but never a thicker fabric like denim. I believe that this could be a massive trend waiting to start. Inside-out denim could so be the new destressed ripped jeans which everyone loved.
UNIQUE AND FORWARD THINKING
I see inside out denim evolving by it being worn/shown on catwalks, this means more companies and brands will be able to see it meaning there’s a bigger chance of it being produces in retail ready for customers to purchases. I feel once you get a few celebrities to wear a piece of inside out denim it will instantly become a massive trend. I feel once you get a few celebrities to wear a piece of inside out denim it will instantly become a massive trend. Denim products have always been in fashion weather that’s jackets, jeans, skirts or accessories. One thing I have never seen though is inside out denim, I’ve never seen jeans where you have the pockets and seams on the outside so they’re visible. This has been a trend before in lighter sheer fabrics so the idea of it being on a garment such as denim, I feel would be trendy and a huge hit.
MARKET RESEARCH Inside out denim isn’t a thing, this is why it would be perfect as the new trend for spring/summer 2021. I have made a survey to get the opinions of the public – mainly young adults, to find out what every one’s opinions on inside out denim is. I posted this on my Instagram as more teenagers and young adults are on there and I feel they would be the ideal target audience. What this survey told me was that no one knows what inside out denim is, which is why it could be a perfect idea. At the end of the survey I asked everyone if they loved the idea of inside out denim over 80% said they loved it.
