Live action role-playing has always been associated with many things, but fashion isn't normally on top of that list. The medieval knight hoodies by designer Catherine Kim are [stylish hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimono-hoodie) that infuse the old world design of [medieval armor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms) with modern day fabric aesthetics. Unlike most hoodies, the hoods from Kim's jacket are designed like a knight's helmet, which makes the hoodies stand out from the many conventional hoodie designs people sport on the streets. The hoodies are also outfitted with patches that resemble a [knight's breastplate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket). The garments are also all handmade and are made with polapolis. The medieval knight hoodies add another layer of protection that not many hoodies offer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Medieval-inspired Fashion:** There is an opportunity for designers to create more fashion-forward clothing that incorporates elements from historical time periods. - **Combining Aesthetics:** The blending of traditional and modern design elements can lead to unique and eye-catching fashion garments. - **Protective Clothing:** The incorporation of protective elements, such as armor, into everyday clothing is a trend that is gaining popularity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** There is an opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate historical elements into their clothing lines. - **Sports and Recreation:** The trend towards protective casual wear could expand into sports equipment for activities such as paintball or airsoft. - **Crafts:** Handmade clothing items, like these knitted hoodies, appeal to a growing trend of consumers seeking unique, artisanal products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Film-Inspired Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection.md) - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [Advanced Armor-Like Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-indestructible-hoodie.md) - [Understated V-Neck Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimono-hoodie.md) - [Ultra-Dense Fabric Diver Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-deep-sea-diver-hoodie.md) - [Performance Fleece Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-sea-diver.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md) - [Bold Anime-Inspired Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md)
