# Chic Crayon-Inspired Apparel UNIF's Oversized Knit Sweater Boasts Primary Colored Stripes By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-09-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oversized-knit-sweater References: [unifclothing](http://unifclothing.com/womens/crayola-sweater-5050) & [unifclothing](http://unifclothing.com/) This oversized knit sweater from UNIF is inspired by the primary colors of a Crayola crayon box. The label even named this garment the Crayola sweater thanks to its vivid design that boasts blue, green, yellow and red stripes. Channeling the nostalgic styles of one's childhood, this oversized knit sweater is a definite statement piece for the cooler months ahead. The bright garment is a nod to the 90s and is a bright piece that will turn heads. If you're going for a casual look, pair this garment with skinny jeans and sneakers or combine with a pleated mini skirt for a look that is more collegiate and appropriate for the Back to School season. However you wear it, this vintage-inspired top is bound to garner attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Oversized Knit Sweaters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore sustainable materials and manufacturing methods to create oversized knit sweaters with unique designs. - **Nostalgic Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of nostalgic fashion items inspired by childhood themes and trends from different eras. - **Colorful Statement Pieces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop vibrant and eye-catching fashion items that serve as bold and expressive statement pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology into fashion designs, such as incorporating smart fabrics or 3D-printed elements. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement sustainable practices in textile manufacturing, like using recycled fibers or optimizing water and energy consumption. - **Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore experiential retail concepts that offer unique shopping experiences and engage customers through interactive elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soufflé Yarn Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-souffl-yarn.md) - [Cozy Versatile Sweater Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brunette-the-label-2.md) - [80s Sweater Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollneck-sweater.md) - [Understated Festive Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christina-fair-isle-cardigan.md) - [Sustainable Cable Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eloise-wool-sweater.md) - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [Versatile Layering Cardigans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-bandits-phoebe-cardigan.md) - [Ornate Cashmere Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embroidered-cashmere-sweater.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md)
