As I get older, I have really become to appreciate the originality and hard work that went into creating almost everything from the 1930’s and on. Just take a look at any New York building--art deco still rules. That rule certainly applies to the latest fad in [ladies' shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule). These [retro style pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-c-85-vintage) are on the hot list this season, I am seeing more and more in the Montreal downtown area. Ladies, there’s nothing more sexy than seeing a young woman wearing these pumps. Dancing the Charleston while wearing them only amplifies your sex appeal, guaranteed! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Style Footwear:** Opportunity for brands to leverage the nostalgia trend by designing and offering retro-style pumps. - **Art Deco Influence:** Brands can tap into the art deco aesthetic to create unique and stylish shoe designs. - **Vintage Fashion:** Growing demand for vintage-inspired fashion opens doors for selling retro pumps. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the trend by creating and marketing retro footwear collections. - **Footwear:** Footwear industry can benefit from designing and producing retro-style pumps. - **Retail:** Retailers can stock and sell retro pumps to cater to the demand for vintage and nostalgic fashion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage-Inspired Holiday Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-tassel-pump.md) - [Comfort-Forward Heel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vicki-collection.md) - [Sophisticated Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champagne-era.md) - [Comfort-Forward High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Comfort-Focused Fashion Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-people-x-dr-scholls.md) - [Interchangeable Themed Shoe Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-1.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md)
