Despite its close association with [tennis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feel-the-heat1), I actually think these [plastic and vibrant hued face protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection) are slightly fashionable for those who dare to sport one. Model Ashley Smith pairs hers with [flashy bathing suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta), athletic gear and a slicked-back ponytail. Shot by photographer Richard Bush, it looks like we will be going a little retro on the sands this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Visor Hats:** Opportunity for designers to create modern and stylish variations of classic visor hats. - **Plastic Fashion Accessories:** Chance for brands to innovate and explore the use of plastic materials in fashion accessories. - **Athleisure Trend:** Potential for combining athletic gear with fashionable accessories like visor hats. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Industry professionals can explore new designs and materials for retro visor hats. - **Plastic Manufacturing:** Opportunity for plastic manufacturers to cater to the demand for fashionable plastic accessories. - **Sports and Fashion Retail:** Chance for retailers to tap into the athleisure trend by offering stylish visor hats as part of their product lineup. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [70s-Style Sport Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunski-strada.md) - [Classic Sporty Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vallon-daytrippers.md) - [Unique Elevated Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdive.md) - [Sustainable Bucket Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-bucket-hat-collection.md) - [Stylish Sun-Protective Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upf-collection.md) - [Stylistic Lightweight Beach Shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-swim-shady.md) - [Sporty 70s Era Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakley-muzm-eyeshade.md) - [Laidback Fashion Brand Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-sunglasses.md)
