It gives you a visual warning - malignant looking moles appear all over the fabric of the bikini. Some people just use [sunscreen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uv-protective), but maybe this is what some [sun worshippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burn-lines) need to remind them of the dangers of excessive sun. **Implications** - The Malignant Mole Bikini starts off looking like an ordinary plain piece of [swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle) but slowly begins to grow mole-like spots all over as it is exposed to UV light. The changing design serves as a an indicator of how long you've been out in the sun, prompting you to head back under the protection of shaded areas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Swimwear:** The Malignant Mole Bikini is an example of smart swimwear that uses changing designs to indicate sun exposure. - **UV Monitoring:** The Malignant Mole Bikini demonstrates the potential for using UV monitoring technology in wearable fashion. - **Health-conscious Fashion:** The Malignant Mole Bikini highlights the growing trend of integrating health and wellness features into fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry has an opportunity to explore the integration of health monitoring features in clothing and accessories. - **Health and Wellness:** The Malignant Mole Bikini presents an opportunity for the health and wellness industry to develop innovative solutions for sun protection. - **Technology:** The use of UV monitoring technology in the Malignant Mole Bikini showcases the potential for technology companies to enter the fashion industry with wearable innovations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Skin Protection Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-uv-detector.md) - [Printed Sunscreen Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-safety-poster.md) - [Stylish Sun-Protective Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upf-collection.md) - [Melanoma Signs-Inspired Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diagnosticookies1.md) - [Heroic Sunscreens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evil-ray.md) - [AI Sun Care Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burnable-billboard.md) - [Kid-Friendly UV Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnypatch.md) - [Playful Sun-Safe Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunsafe-garments.md) - [Life-Saving Nail Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-spotters.md)
