# Fruit-Themed Rain Gear INU INU's Watermelon Poncho Makes Staying Dry More Fun By Jana Pijak | Published 2016-07-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-poncho References: [inuinu](http://inuinu.com/collections/new/products/watermelon-poncho?variant=24954552967) INU INU's watermelon poncho makes staying dry during rainy days less of a hassle thanks to a fun design that is fruit-themed. Known for its childlike apparel and accessories for adults, the e-retailer is a favorite among daring fashion fans and is synonymous with Kidcore -- the fashion industry's most recent aesthetic obsession. Featuring a pink, green and black print, this watermelon poncho is both playful and practical, featuring a roomy silhouette and waterproof material. The rain accessory fits comfortable over one's head and is even accented with a laced neck detail, making it easy to adjust for those seeking either a tight or loose fit. This fruit-themed outerwear accessory is a fun novelty gift that can double as a costume come Halloween but is also surprisingly functional during rainy days. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fruit-themed Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate fruit-themed designs into their collections, adding a playful and whimsical element to their offerings. - **Functional Novelty Accessories:** Potential for the creation of more functional novelty accessories that serve a specific purpose while still maintaining a fun and playful aesthetic. - **Kidcore Aesthetic:** Opportunity for fashion brands to tap into the growing trend of Kidcore aesthetic, creating clothing and accessories with childlike elements that appeal to daring fashion fans. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore incorporating fruit-themed designs and Kidcore aesthetic into their collections, offering unique and playful options to consumers. - **Costume and Party Supplies:** Costume and party supply companies can leverage the popularity of functional novelty accessories like the fruit-themed poncho to create fun and practical options for customers, especially during Halloween. - **E-commerce:** E-retailers can take advantage of the demand for playful and functional accessories, offering a wide range of unique and whimsical rainy day essentials to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Poncho-Style Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onetigris-tentsformer.md) - [Livery Resort-Inspired Umbrella Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trina-turk.md) - [Hybrid Poncho-Transformed Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nrg-metamorph-poncho.md) - [Breathable Festival Fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobis.md) - [Weather-Ready Festival Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beavertown-brewery-collection.md) - [Beer-Proof Ponchos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pint-cho.md) - [Designer-Approved Vibrant Weather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-weather-accessories.md) - [Functional Rainproof-Style Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainproofstyle-sneakers.md) - [Rainwater Multifunctional Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raindrop-1.md)
