The designs certainly aren’t made for wallflowers, but are perfect for those who like strong prints. At the very least, they look super comfortable and would make for great conversation (particularly the berry hats). **Implications** - Thanks to the prevalence of street style blogs and social media outlets where people post personal pictures, there has been an increased value placed on fashion-related originality. A company can appeal to originality obsessed consumers by investing in products that are fashionable and feature avant-garde designs. By creating products that are immediately distinguishable, the company attracts attention from style-conscious consumers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 16% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Originality-driven Fashion:** Creating fashionable products with avant-garde designs appeals to originality obsessed consumers. - **Street Style Influence:** The prevalence of street style blogs and social media outlets has increased the value placed on fashion-related originality. - **Conversation Starters:** Products like these quirky sweaters and fruit hats are great conversation starters. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can explore creating avant-garde designs to appeal to originality obsessed consumers. - **Social Media Marketing:** Incorporating street style influence into marketing strategies can attract style-conscious consumers. - **Retail Fashion:** Retailers can offer conversation-starting fashion items like quirky sweaters and fruit hats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Youth-Focused Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youthfocused-fashion-brand.md) - [Bold Playful Summer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duvin-design-co.md) - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Nature-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fruit-stand-1.md) - [Adorable Monster-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-monsters.md) - [Quirky Eco-Friendly Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f5-global.md) - [Soda-Branded Sweatsuit Merch Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-sweatsuit.md) - [Retro Cartoon Back-to-school Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unisex-styles.md) - [Candy-Inspired Tonal Streetwear Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-drop.md)
