Invented by William A. Jones, a retired father of five and grandfather of seven who lives in Washington, patent-pending Winkers are hand-painted [pants (or jeans)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snugfit-denim) with eyes on the [butt cheeks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-butt) effectively positioned to give the impression that the wearer’s rear is winking as they walk. With the goal of making people-perving more entertaining, Mr Jones created other amusing designs including ducks whose bills appears to quack, an owl that blinks, a lion in an elaborate jungle scene, as well as a pair of movie clapboards that spell “action, action” as the wearer walks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hand-painted Apparel:** Opportunity for artists and fashion designers to create unique and eye-catching designs on various clothing items, disrupting the traditional fashion industry. - **Personalized Fashion:** Growing demand for custom-made clothing and accessories that reflect individuality and personal style, opening opportunities for designers to offer unique options like winking butts. - **Novelty Fashion:** Rising popularity of quirky and playful fashion items that bring entertainment and humor to everyday attire, presenting opportunities for designers to innovate with fun and unexpected designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can embrace the trend of hand-painted apparel and personalized fashion to create unique collections that cater to the growing demand for individualistic clothing options. - **E-commerce:** The rise of personalized and novelty fashion opens avenues for online retailers to offer a wide range of unique and whimsical clothing items, capturing the interest of niche markets. - **Social Media Marketing:** Social media platforms can seize the trend by collaborating with fashion influencers and content creators to promote and showcase the latest hand-painted and novelty fashion designs, leveraging the viral potential of entertaining and eye-catching clothing items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheeky Golf Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheater-pants.md) - [Protective Snacking Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreida-totprotecting-pants.md) - [Dirty-Resembling Luxe Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-willy-underwear.md) - [Tongue-in-Cheek Underwear Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debute-x-stripe-stare.md) - [Purposefully Stained Luxe Trousers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pee-stain-denim.md) - [Mature Fashion-Forward Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wit-and-wisdom.md) - [Witty Plushie Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-are-punny-collectibles.md) - [Cheese-Inspired Fashion Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-pocket-jeans.md) - [Magnetic Hand-Holding Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handholding-socks.md)
