TROPICAL BREEZE IN THE NEW SEASON: MANGO SORBET

In this period where consumers need to feel safe and return to their grounds is more important than anything, colors will play a big role in relaxing, revitalizing and nurturing us. While bright tones continue to take place in the Spring-Summer 22 period, it will create an optimistic atmosphere by combining with more measured tones.

One of the 5 main colors of the Spring Summer '22 season, Mango Sorbet is a tropical shade that combines the popularity of orange with the brightness of yellow. This color, which can be used to add an energetic atmosphere to seasonal palettes and to strengthen feelings of well-being and health, can also be added as a digital touch to color palettes with its hypernatural and highly vivid saturated tone.

Mango Sorbet, which is predicted to be used frequently in swimwear, sports, and outdoor clothing, will be surprisingly effective in creating a contemporary silhouette in women's clothing. At the same time, it seems that it will be preferred by being a tone that will change the atmosphere of the place in home furnishings and interiors.

PHYSICAL STORES VS. ONLINE SHOPPING

Life looks and feels very different right now than at the beginning of 2020. The use of technology by individuals and businesses has taken a huge leap forward. People spend more time online than ever and use Google to discover and research their purchases both online and in the real world.With physical stores going through tough times, retailers of all sizes have realized that maximizing their online presence can also help them reach potential customers who want to buy in person.Buying behavior has changed significantly over the past six months and many of these behaviors appear to be permanent. People plan their store visits more carefully, care more about the availability of products, and do more research on store opening times and delivery conditions. People need some assurance whether they can physically find what they are looking for, especially before leaving the house.Searches for "working hours today" in Germany have doubled and searches for "in stock" have increased by 700% compared to last year. At the same time, as local shopping became more important, searches containing the phrase "near me" increased 2 times.

New Google research shows that the pandemic makes people more flexible to buy online or offline. Compared to the 65% before the global health crisis, 73% now define themselves as channel independent. As the pandemic accelerates digital adoption and online sales are increasing, Euromonitor's new research revealed that 78% of purchases are expected to be made in stores by 2024.

5 BACK-TO-SCHOOL EFFECTS IN CLOTHING

This year's back-to-school season offers an inner relaxation with relaxed, elevated basics and escapes themes while unfolding in uncertainty. Despite increasing uncertainty, the pandemic is likely to drive families' back-to-school spending to record levels as they prepare for home learning, as traditional back-to-school items have already been replaced by digital products and technology spending.

WGSN, the world's leading trend forecasting company, summarizes the back-to-school effects in boy’s and girl’s clothing under 5 headings:

1- The New Normal: Retailers are insisting on a 'ready for anything' communication strategy while focusing on #elevatedbasics this season. Comfort continues to prove its non-negotiable side as ever.

2- A #newprep Attitude: Primary colors, color blocking - use of contrasting colors, school uniform style raglan sleeves underline the importance of old-fashioned classical clothing.

3- Go Retro: While the golden yellow inspired by the 70's forms the basic palette of this period, the sunset tones of dark yellow give an old-fashioned, nostalgic warmth to the foundations of autumn. The grandmother's house style and the presence of repeating corduroy complement the warm, vintage-inspired purchasing choices.

4- Top-Half Emphasis: While retailers are preparing for students who adhere to the online curriculum, top half distinctions are emphasized.

5- Escapism Themes Abound: From gamer graphics and space racing to the great outdoors, playtime and adventure stories complete the escape mood that's understandable for this season's prints and graphics. At the same time, the sense of outdoor adventure highlights this season's escape theme.
