While Sygiel may have gotten her start with [high-performance underwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hux) (made from stain-resistant material), her vision has since expanded to [workout wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/align-no-line-highrise-pant) for the modern woman. Sygiel earned far more than her modest $15,000 [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolia-activewear) goal, allowing Dear Kate to launch the pant, which is made out of the company's patent-pending Underlux fabric that provides more coverage than regular undies. The Dear Kate yoga pant means the end of visible panty lines, uncomfortable bunching and riding up! It allows you to work out looking stylish and feeling comfortable, an unbeatable combination. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Panty-free Yoga Pants:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Creating workout wear that eliminates visible panty lines and provides more coverage for women. - **Stain-resistant Underwear:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Designing high-performance underwear made from stain-resistant materials for added comfort and convenience. - **Comfortable Workout Wear:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Developing workout clothing that offers both style and comfort for the modern woman. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Apparel:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Revolutionizing the apparel industry by introducing undergarments and workout wear with innovative features. - **Fashion:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Redefining fashion by creating functional and stylish workout wear for women. - **Textile:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Transforming the textile industry by developing fabrics that provide better coverage and comfort for workout clothing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comfortable Women's Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legging-liners.md) - [Biodegradable Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparepair-underwear.md) - [Flattering Comfortable Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-day-legging.md) - [Seamless Active Legging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/align-no-line-highrise-pant.md) - [Body-Safe Menstrual Panties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intimina.md) - [Seamless Chafe-Prevention Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noosh.md) - [Leakproof Period Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinx.md) - [Ultra-Light Intimates Silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-lace.md) - [Leak-Proof Intimate Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knix-2.md)
