# Leg Slimming Socks The Slimwalk Overnight Socks are Designed to Shape a Wearer's Legs By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2015-08-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overnight-socks References: [pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/571746115170270603/) & [japantrendshop](http://www.japantrendshop.com/slimwalk-overnight-slimming-socks-p-2875.html) Slimwalk overnight socks are a popular footwear accessory in Japan. While the vibrant socks are seen as stylish, these socks also act as a bizarre beauty tool. The Slimwalk overnight socks are offered in a variety of sizes and are made in Japan. While they look like traditional thigh high socks, the hosiery accessories are embedded with pressure-adding technology. The Slimwalk overnight socks are designed to effectively add varied pressure to a wearer's legs during their sleep cycle and ultimately help to tone the shape of their legs. The pressure ranges from 10-21 hPa though the wearer does not feel any discomfort. These overnight socks also produce a soothing massage effect on the soles of the wearer's feet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pressure-adding Technology:** Opportunity for incorporating pressure-adding technology into various products for beauty and health benefits. - **Functional Apparel:** Opportunity for creating apparel that serves a functional purpose beyond traditional use. - **Sleep-based Beauty Routines:** Opportunity for developing products that aid in beauty routines during sleep. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Apparel:** Opportunity for incorporating functional properties into apparel, specifically with pressure-adding technology. - **Beauty:** Opportunity for creating products that aid in beauty routines during sleep, such as sleep masks or skincare specifically designed for overnight use. - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for developing products that aid in overall health and wellness, such as sleepwear or recovery wear infused with pressure-adding technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Micro-Weighted Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microload-gtights.md) - [Lymphatic Drainage Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loriginal-full-leggings.md) - [Nerve-Stimulating Diabetic Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynerva-leia-sock.md) - [Advanced Ionized Silver Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allday-silver-socks.md) - [Ultra-Soft Moisturizing Aloe Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloe-socks.md) - [Magnetic Couples Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-couples-socks.md) - [Performance Functional Leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tighties.md) - [Romance-Inspired Functional Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-romance1.md) - [Magnetic Hand-Holding Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handholding-socks.md)
