In the world of fashion, trickle-down describes a situation where particular trends are first accepted by people in the top social class. Then, over time, those fashion trends become gradually accepted by those in the lower classes.

The trickle-up pattern of fashion is the opposite of the trickle-down movement. That is, specific fashion trends and looks start from lower-income groups, or the "streets," and then work their way up through the hierarchy of society.

Think Carhartt jackets, raw denim, Dickies, jumpsuits. It's a trend that's taking over the fashion world — but, it didn't start in fashion houses and trickle down to the masses. 

I think this is not just a rapidly spreading phenomenon, but also a process of people pursuing authenticity, truly enjoying pragmatism, even if it is women's clothing, and extracting the essence from fashion such as workwear.
