If you loved mood rings as a child in the 1990s, then you will likely be a fan of these emotive design examples.

The third place Mood Sweater by Sensory is embedded with sensors that tell people how you're feeling using a colorful [emotive display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memoreel). Ideal for those with the winter blues, Jana's second favorite emotive design idea takes the form of Seasonal Affective Disorder-ameliorating [light therapy glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emteq-labs-sense). The top instance is a luxury version of the classic mood ring by Lake & Stars lingerie designer Maayan Zilberman. Despite featuring a futuristic esthetic, the rings also blend in a nostalgic feel.
