Necklaces? Whatever they are, they are cool and different. They remind me of the 80’s and RUN DMC, or a mix of Viktor & Rolf and [baby toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-ice-cream)! Definitely a must-have piece for spring that would like great worn with a very [simple white t-shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear). If that attracts more attention than you want, then you can just place it on top of your coffee table as an incredible piece of art! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 85% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Oversized Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion companies to create and market larger accessories like scarves and necklaces as a statement piece. - **Handmade Fashion:** Opportunity for small businesses and individual designers to create unique handmade fashion accessories. - **Nostalgic Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion companies to create products that incorporate 80's and retro fashion elements. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion companies to create bold and unique accessories that can become a sought-after fashion trend. - **Art:** Opportunity for art institutions or individuals to showcase wearable art pieces as an artistic expression. - **Handmade Goods:** Opportunity for small businesses to create and market handmade fashion accessories as a unique selling point. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Luxury Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-necklace.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Collegiate-Style Winter Scarfs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acne-studios-6.md) - [Artist-Designed Playable Sensory Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-play-silk.md) - [Cheese Pull Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf.md) - [Chunky Knitted Quilted Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitty-chair.md) - [Dynamic Bold Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu.md) - [Y2K Beaded Phone Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/string-ting.md) - [Cozy Scarf Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat.md)
