The Seattle-based [Manic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/semipermanent-hair-color) skateboarding company has released their new Wood Sunglasses, which bring an all-natural look to the Wayfarer-style sunnies. The unique manic Wood Sunglasses are available at Stless. Just as a friendly warning to all of you looking to buy a pair of these unique sunglasses, I wouldn't wear them around tree-huggers. **Implications** - Unless of course these shades are made from recycled wood, in which case, they are environmentally awesome and will definitely be a hit in the green marketplace. Wood has never looked so cool, and has never kept you so cool before. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **All-natural Sunglasses:** Opportunity for developing sustainable and eco-friendly eyewear solutions using natural materials. - **Wooden Fashion Accessories:** Potential to create a range of wooden products in the fashion industry, such as watches, jewelry, and handbags. - **Green Marketplace:** Growing demand for environmentally-friendly products, providing opportunities for businesses to cater to conscious consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Eyewear:** Innovative companies can explore the use of natural materials in designing and manufacturing sunglasses and eyeglasses. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate wooden elements into their accessories line, tapping into the rising trend of sustainable fashion. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Companies can develop and market a wide range of eco-friendly products to meet the growing demands of conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage-Inspired Wooden Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delray-se-sunglasses.md) - [Textured Wood-Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issey-miyake-eyes.md) - [70s-Style Sport Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunski-strada.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Spring Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodys-ss24-collection.md) - [Transparent Crystal Sunglasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20.md) - [Recycled Cyclist Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vallon-watchtowers-cycling-sunglasses.md) - [Skateboarding-Inspired Wood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-green-works.md) - [Organic Collaboration Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armedangels.md) - [Color-Changing Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-original-wayfarer-change-transitions.md)
