Experimental Meadow -- The Color Trend for S/S 2023 Sportswear

Concept & Inspiration

The repeated epidemic condition stops our steps toward a long journey, which leads suburban travel, sponsored by custom leggings manufacturers, to become a new trend. Urban people are desiring for walking out of the concrete high-rises and traveling to the forest and meadow nearby. Light outdoor micro-vacation has been the mainstream. Cross-country running, outdoor yoga, camping, and outward bound form a new lifestyle of travel and fitness. Indoor sport skills, which were learned during the lockdown, can be further released and expanded in the vast field. Custom leggings manufacturers offer a wide range of comfortable and stylish leggings that are perfect for these outdoor activities, allowing travelers to showcase their love for adventure and nature while staying fashionable and functional.

Womenswear -- Vibe & Palette

We can breathe in fresh air and absorb energy from meadows during the camping and outing. The natural world protects the mentality and provides a more relaxed condition.  Influenced by the pandemic, anti-bacterial protection has been an essential issue, which adds a protective filter to the pri-mitive natural colors. Experimental color ideas reform these natural hues, and healing colors are fresher and clearer. Sprout-like yellowish green has been brighter and cleaner because of the reflection of lab glass. Translucent and pale blue feels like being immersed in the water. Feminine pink pur-ple is balanced with softer neutral colors.
