These shirts have—you guessed it—9 pockets on them. They’re an excellent way of striking up a conversation with someone. It’s like wearing a cape on the front of your shirt (a cape you can hold stuff in). The brand was created by Brooke DaSilva as a conversation starter. "I get anxiety thinking about how there are so many missed connections in the world where great things could have come out of just simply striking up a conversation with someone. I'd like to bring people together in quirky ways," says DaSilva. 9 Pocket shirts are bound to create conversation no matter where you go. Whether you're a wallflower or the life of the party, you'll be able to strike up conversations in unique and unconventional ways while wearing a 9 Pocket shirt. You can hold stuff in each of the pockets too. Join 9 Pockets on a mission to create conversation and increase your holding power by rocking one of the [unique shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ten-thousand-versatile-shirt-20). The 9 Pocket Kickstarter launched July 15 and will raise money to manufacture its latest line of styles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Conversation-starting Clothing:** The trend of conversation-starting clothing offers disruptive innovation opportunities for brands to create unique and unconventional ways for individuals to connect. - **Multi-pocket Fashion:** The trend of multi-pocket fashion presents disruptive innovation opportunities for designers and clothing brands to create functional and stylish garments that allow individuals to carry and access their belongings easily. - **Crowdfunding for Fashion:** The trend of crowdfunding for fashion provides disruptive innovation opportunities for fashion startups to raise funds and manufacture their latest lines of styles while engaging with their target audience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage the conversation-starting clothing trend to create unique designs that spark conversations and bring people together in quirky ways. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can capitalize on the multi-pocket fashion trend by creating innovative bags and wallets that offer convenience and functionality. - **Crowdfunding:** The crowdfunding industry can support and disrupt the fashion industry by providing a platform for fashion startups to raise funds and connect with potential customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Backpack-Inspired Storage Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomade-58.md) - [Storage-Packed Travel Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caligo-pants.md) - [Connection-Driven Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-to-connect-1.md) - [Tactical Inclement Weather Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storm-jacket.md) - [Knitted Phone Pockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-pocket.md) - [Cheese-Inspired Fashion Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-pocket-jeans.md) - [Conversation Starting Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinner-table-conversation-starter-napkins.md) - [Cargo Pocket-Adorned Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-research-parasite-bag.md) - [Cheeky Holiday Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conversation-stoppers.md)
