Stubbly Womens Stockings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Hairy Stockings are Meant to Ward Off Unwanted Advances

— June 20, 2013 — Fashion
Designed for young Chinese girls by Sina Weibo, these quirky hairy stockings were created as a preventative measure to help girls ward off unwanted advances from suitors.

These hairy stockings were created to look like women's legs that have gone days -- maybe even months -- unshaven. Designed like leggings, these stubbly tights start at the hips and stop at the ankle. When these tights made from synthetic hair and nude tights are worn, they really do make your legs look hairy. These hairy stockings are made to look very unappealing when worn with shorts, skirts or dresses.

Tapping into the stigma that some men are weirded out by women with unshaved legs, young girls who wear these protective hairy stockings shouldn't have any fear of unwanted men approaching them.
Trend Themes
1. Protective Clothing - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating unique garments designed to deter unwanted advances and ensure personal safety.
2. Gender Empowerment - Potential for disruptive innovation in products that empower individuals to take control of their personal boundaries and challenge societal norms.
3. Tech-infused Fashion - Disruptive innovation opportunities in combining technology with fashion to create innovative and protective clothing solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Opportunity for the fashion industry to explore unconventional designs and materials for protective clothing with a focus on personal safety.
2. Technology - Potential for technology companies to collaborate with fashion brands in developing smart textiles and wearables that enhance personal safety.
3. Safety and Security - Opportunity for the safety and security industry to expand their offerings to include unique personal protection products that address societal concerns.
