With Movember on the calendar horizon, if you are not able to effortlessly grow that suave upper lip accessory, then you may want to toss on a pair of Sunstache shades to fit in with the facial hair movement.

The Sunstache sunglasses retail for $8 and are sold at [Urban Outfitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futurewise) as a one-size-fits-all novelty item; a simple chained mustache attached to [wayfarer-type shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-original-wayfarer-change-transitions). The styles range from your basic blunt lip cover to a seriously Yosemite Sam tribute stache -- there's even one that looks fit for a mysteriously mustached private detective.

The faux facial hair Sunstache is perfect for a cold winter season that may leave your bare lips chilly or a hot summer day that requires some mature, sun-shielding material.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Fake Facial Hair Trend:** Opportunity to create and market more innovative and creative faux facial hair products.
- **Novelty Sunglasses:** Potential for designing and selling unique sunglasses with attached accessories or quirky features.
- **Mustache Fashion Movement:** Chance to capitalize on the growing popularity of the mustache as a fashion statement and incorporate it into various products.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion Accessories:** There is an opportunity to create and sell fashion accessories that combine functionality with elements of humor and novelty.
- **Eyewear:** Eyewear companies can explore designing sunglasses with unconventional and playful features to appeal to a younger demographic.
- **Cosmetics and Grooming:** The cosmetics and grooming industry can develop products that help individuals experiment with different facial hair styles without the commitment of actually growing them.
