Leaning into the moto aesthetic, leather jackets are the must-have item for consumers’ wardrobes this fall and winter. We are seeing an increased interest in brown leather jackets as worn leather looks are a TikTok favorite trend. Up +28% to last year, brown leather jackets have 13K average weekly searches and growing with +40% market adoption to last year.  Expect to see these jackets resonate throughout the next year.

Faux fur coats are the perfect statement for the colder months. Whether it's faux fur trim or all fur coats, this emerging trend has an extreme search volume up +861% to last year -- thanks to its appearance in the TV show Daisy Jones and the Six. Market adoption is up +25% in the last 30 days as retailers like Urban Outfitters, Michael Kors and Revolve hop on this trend and play with texture within their assortments.

As seen on the FW23 and SS24 runways, red is making a comeback as a top color trend for the next year.
