Timing: The trend will hit in the year 2015 and will survive for about 5 years until the year 2020.

Scope: The trend will be big within working adults and will trickle down with extra spunk to the stylish youth. The trend will be successful because I predict that the year 2015 will call for a recuperated economy in the U.S. This will lead to more jobs which calls for apparel that will not only look professional but make one stand out from the other job seekers. This trend can easily be transitioned from day to night as well as from serious and sophisticated to sexy and cool.
