# Laziness-Promoting Shirts The Sloth Running Team Top Encourages Napping By Nicole Ballantyne-Choo | Published 2013-08-30 | Updated 2013-09-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sloth-running-team References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/419312522114370727/Sloth-Running-Team) & [lookhuman](http://www.lookhuman.com/design/15655-sloth-running-team) The sloth running team shirt is perfect for the [lazy people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-bear) in your group of friends. This cute tank from [American Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-sensitive-series) is ideal for people who don’t understand why people would run when they could be way more productive and [napping instead](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabeau). The grey top features a huggable-looking sloth that would definitely convince people that laziness is way more fun. This shirt is ironic, as people will wonder why a running team would call themselves sloths, known as the laziest animal ever. A closer look at the shirt reveals the hilarious phrase “let’s nap instead” in a smaller font under the sloth. While running is definitely a great way to stay healthy and active, sometimes you just need those days where staying in bed is the best option. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Laziness-promoting Fashion:** Opportunity for clothing brands to create ironic and humorous designs that celebrate laziness and promote relaxation. - **Lifestyle Acceptance of Laziness:** Increasing acceptance of laziness as a valid lifestyle choice, leading to the creation of products that encourage rest and relaxation. - **Humor and Irony in Apparel:** Growing demand for clothing that combines humor and irony, providing an opportunity for brands to create unique and playful designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion/clothing Industry:** Fashion brands can tap into the trend of laziness-promoting fashion by creating clothing items that embrace humor and promote relaxation. - **Wellness and Self-care Industry:** Opportunity for wellness and self-care brands to create products that validate and celebrate restfulness and taking time for oneself. - **Entertainment and Gift Industry:** Brands in the entertainment and gift industry can capitalize on the trend by offering humorous merchandise, such as lazy-themed shirts, as fun and relatable gift options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Comfort-Forward Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-daze-collection.md) - [Cheeky Self-Care Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/do-not-disturb-decor.md) - [Rest-Supportive Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-concept.md) - [Wellness-Forward Running Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-wins.md) - [Bladder-Equipped Hydration Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vessel-althetics.md) - [Sneaker-Stealing Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rob-it-to-get-it.md) - [Slow-Paced Survival Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slowpaced-survival.md) - [Coffee-Focused Lifestyle Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-oaf-3.md) - [Inclusive-Forward Cheeky Pajamas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homebody-sleepwear-collection.md)
