# Science Fiction Swimsuits Set Phasers to Sun with The Star Trek: TNG Swimsuits By Joey Haar | Published 2017-04-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tng-swimsuits References: [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/isoo/) Ever since its inception in the early 1960s, Star Trek has captured droves of fans, many of whom opt to dress up as their favorite characters, and the new Star Trek: TNG Swimsuits from ThinkGeek let true Trekkies bring their fandom with them to the sunny beaches of Risa (or any beach here on Earth, too.) The one-piece swimsuits are designed to resemble the iconic uniforms from the Star Trek franchise, complete with combadge and rank pips. The Star Trek: TNG Swimsuits from ThinkGeek come in three colors: red, blue, and gold. As fans know, these colors correspond to positions on the show (blue for sciences, gold for operations, and red for command.) The pips on the swimsuits are perfectly detailed as well, which each suit ranked differently (red is captain, blue is commander, and gold is lieutenant commander.) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Science Fiction Fashion:** Opportunity to create more science fiction-themed clothing and accessories for passionate fans. - **Fan-inspired Products:** Potential for developing more merchandise that allows fans to express their fandom in unique ways. - **Nostalgia Fashion:** Growing market for nostalgic fashion items that tap into popular culture references. ### Who This Affects Most - **Clothing and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create niche clothing lines that cater to specific fan communities. - **Merchandise and Collectibles:** Opportunity to expand the market of fan-inspired products that resonate with passionate communities. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Innovative fashion brands can tap into the demand for nostalgic-themed clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Storage Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-discovery-flash-drives.md) - [Starship-Inspired Dynamic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magellan-automatic-star-trek-warp-speed.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Virtual Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roddenberry-archive.md) - [Sci-Fi Film-Themed Dart Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starfleet-phaser-blaster.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Yacht Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-trek-inspired-yacht.md) - [Sci-Fi Media Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buildabridge-mini-bridge.md) - [Sci-Fi Film Franchise Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picard-tea-cup-set.md) - [Desert Planet Sci-Fi Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sands-of-tatooine-collection.md) - [Subtly Sci-Fi Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set.md)
