Stormtroopers are indeed the clotheshorses of Star Wars. This Stormtrooper hoodie lets you show the world that you’re a [Star Wars fan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomspecific-sweater-vests) without having to wear tons of heavy white plastic. Mark Ecko, who sells these hoodies, has a fine range of Star Wars-inspired tops but they don’t come anywhere near the Stormtrooper hoodie. I also found these [Stormtrooper snow globes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-atat-walker) which I just had to share. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Star Wars-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for creating innovative and stylish clothing items inspired by the iconic Star Wars franchise. - **Fan-inspired Apparel:** Potential for designing clothing that appeals to both fans and non-fans of a particular theme or franchise. - **Niche Pop Culture Merchandise:** Opportunity to create unique and targeted merchandise catering to specific fan bases. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion retail industry by offering unique and appealing merchandise inspired by popular franchises. - **Merchandising:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the merchandise industry by creating specialized and exclusive products targeting specific fan communities. - **Pop Culture Licensing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the licensing industry by partnering with popular franchises to create unique and highly sought-after merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Winter-Ready Sci-Fi Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-columbia-collection.md) - [Insulated Sci-Fi Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/columbia-x-star-wars-skywalker-pilot-ski-collection.md) - [Forest Inspired Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endor-collection.md) - [Sci-Fi Forested Moon Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/columbia-endor-collection.md) - [Highly Detailed Sci-Fi Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormtrooper-kit.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Replica Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clone-trooper-phase-ii.md) - [Chrome-Colored Action Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-toys-1.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md)
