Designed by Chacko T. Kalacherry, the 'Collar Fan' works by being clipped onto the wearers collar (hence the name) where it uses a discreet fan to blow air onto the person's skin, beneath the clothing. The conceptual 'Collar Fan' would work via a built-in battery that could be recharged after use. Created with two distinct function settings, the clip-on fan would either be able to be placed on manual mode or auto mode. The auto mode would continuously keep track of the [wearers temperature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycelsius-cooling-bracelet) and turn on or off accordingly for optimal comfort. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Clip-on Wearable Technology:** Developing clip-on devices that enhance personal comfort and convenience in various environments. - **Sub-tropical Climate Solutions:** Creating innovative products that address the unique challenges of sub-tropical climates. - **Discreet Personal Cooling:** Designing inconspicuous cooling solutions that can be integrated into everyday attire. ### Who This Affects Most - **Wearable Technology:** Exploring the potential for integrating functional technologies into clothing and accessories. - **Climate Control:** Developing technologies and solutions for managing temperature and comfort in extreme climates. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Incorporating innovative and functional features into clothing and accessories for enhanced comfort. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Targeted Cooling Relief Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neckband-fan-vision.md) - [High-Power Cooling Neckbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neck-cooler.md) - [Wearable Air Conditioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolify-air.md) - [360-Degree Neck Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-bladeless-neck-fan.md) - [Cooling Outdoor Neckbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolify-2s.md) - [Wearable App-Connected AC Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gloture-wearcool.md) - [Personal Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-cicada.md) - [Wearable Temperature Control Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-reon-pocket-5.md) - [Wearable Air Conditioning Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkle-tornado.md)
