The Emel + Aris smart coats are made with a [lightweight and versatile heating technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moritz-walter) designed to keep wearers warm no matter the temperature outdoors. The coats feature three levels of heating -- low, medium and high -- which wearers can regulate to their liking. Similar to wearing a heated blanket, Emel + Aris smart coats generate infrared heat that penetrates the skin and goes into the muscle, which warms the wearer all over. Each coat works on a [rechargeable battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-hand-warmers), which also features a USB so wearers can charge their phone. Though these coats are tech-savvy, they do not ignore current fashion fads and speak to the sleek and sophisticated Emel + Aris aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Smart Apparel:** Opportunity for innovating heating technology for more garments. - **Wearable Tech:** Opportunity for integrating other technological features into fashion apparel. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Opportunity for creating more energy-efficient and eco-friendly heating systems for clothing. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can offer new and innovative clothing options by integrating technology into their designs. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies could explore the market of wearable technology for fashion. - **Home Goods:** Home goods companies could innovate heating technology that can be used in apparel and household items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced Technology Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/idoona-heated-jacket.md) - [On-Demand Heated Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uze-heated.md) - [Thermal Layering Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-heattech.md) - [Ergonomic Battery-Heated Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-heated-jacket-heated-jacket-puffer-heated-jacket.md) - [Pro-Grade Heated Ski Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-ski-jacket.md) - [Infrared Light-Converted Warm Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/downless-down-jacket.md) - [Functionally Durable Outwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ororos-new-workwear-collection.md) - [Holiday-Ready Heated Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-apparel-collection.md) - [Elevated Cashmere Wool Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashmere-wool-coats.md)
