After 12 showroom appointments in NYC this week, I keep seeing ripstop skirts, cargo pockets, and washed pastels moving into mainline for our April ’26 drop. I’m tempted to cut denim units about 20% and anchor the next buy in light khaki and dusty lilac — are you forecasting the same shift or holding denim?
I’d test a 10% denim cut; lock ‘dusty lilac’ fabric early. How’s April ’26 pre-order interest?
Same read post-NYC — soft utility is winning for April ’26; shift about 20% out of denim bottoms into ripstop skirts/cargos, but keep two hero rinses on chase and add utility stitch to denim tops. Book lab dips and crocking tests on dusty lilac now; washed pastels can bleed. @oanderson are cargo skirts converting above denim shorts for you?
