Cozy Reworked Classic Boots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

sacai Gave UGG's Classic Boot Silhouette a Sock-Infused Makeover

— November 5, 2018 — Fashion
sacai joined forces with footwear label UGG on giving the signature Classic Boot silhouette a new makeover for the Fall/Winter 2018 season. The new capsule is comprised of boots for both men and women, along with a selection of complementary apparel.

The collection made its first debut earlier this year at Paris Fashion Week, where designer Chitose Abe incorporated a striped sock-like knit to the signature boot model. This is constructed in three colorway options and two height selections of either a short- or a mid-cut style.

The apparel available with the new seasonal range includes a denim jacket with details drawn from a military coat and another hybrid piece that fuses a denim shirt and a floral dress.
Trend Themes
1. Reworked Classic Boots - The trend of reworking classic boot silhouettes with unique design elements, such as striped sock-like knits, presents an opportunity for footwear brands to offer innovative and stylish options to consumers.
2. Sock-infused Makeover - The use of sock-like knits in boot design introduces a disruptive innovation opportunity for the fashion industry, allowing for the creation of comfortable and versatile footwear that blurs the lines between shoes and socks.
3. Hybrid Apparel - The combination of different clothing styles, such as a denim jacket with military coat details or a denim shirt fused with a floral dress, represents a trend in hybrid fashion that opens up possibilities for designers to experiment with new and unexpected combinations.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear - The reworked classic boots trend offers opportunities for footwear brands to differentiate themselves in the market by incorporating unique and unconventional design elements into their products.
2. Fashion - The combination of sock-like knits and classic boot silhouettes presents an opportunity for fashion brands to create innovative and comfortable footwear that appeals to consumers looking for both style and functionality.
3. Apparel - The trend of hybrid apparel, blending different clothing styles into one garment, allows for the creation of unique and versatile pieces that cater to consumers seeking novel and fashion-forward options.
