The global interest is growing and you can see that there's more and more surf camps and surf schools popping up everywhere. The travel/surf lifestyle is also trending on social media amongst the younger generations. ​ What are you bearish on? Collared dress shirts and ties. People are looking for more comfort and convenience in clothing. As business dress codes are changing for the better, collared dress shirts and ties will remain something that is worn only on special occasions instead of being a 'standard' in the office. ​ What's your favorite Trends Report? 🧳[Digital Nomads](​ I've always been attracted to the nomadic lifestyle and as a passionate surfer coming from a small village with no ocean, it is important for me to be able to work from anywhere to engage in my passion.
