pre-clashed adjective
/ˈpriːˌklæʃt/
(of a single piece of clothing) featuring different patterns, such as spots and stripes
Fashion is having an ambivalent moment and, with shoppers apparently unwilling or unable to choose between two distinct designs, the trend for “pre-clashed clothes” is growing. At high street retailer Zara, there are dresses with ditsy prints alongside big swirling florals, as well as wrap dresses in contrasting colour blocks, usually with a vertical split.
