K-mart decided [teenage girls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nascar-x-justice) should be able to visibly wear their vow of chastity on their clothes. The **True Love Waits** [fashion line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champion-2) encourages young women (teenagers AND college aged) to remain abstinent until marriage. **Lifeway Christian Resources** created the campaign on an international basis. They are depending on [peer pressure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primark-never-basic-campaign) and clever ass-vertising to help their cheeky cause be a success. The True Love Waits movement got a significant boost in visibility because of the K-mart decision to sell their clothing.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Abstinence Fashion:** Creating fashion lines that promote and celebrate abstinence for teenagers and college-aged individuals.
- **Cheeky Marketing:** Using clever and bold advertising strategies to support and popularize a cause.
- **Faith-based Fashion:** Designing clothing lines that incorporate religious beliefs and values into their style and messaging.

- **Fashion Retail:** Opportunity for fashion retailers to tap into the niche market of abstinence-promoting clothing.
- **Marketing and Advertising:** Chance for marketing and advertising professionals to create unique and attention-grabbing campaigns for causes.
- **Faith-based Organizations:** Potential for faith-based organizations to develop and promote fashion items aligned with religious beliefs and values.
