Apparel products are one of the most popular branded items and one that requires distributors to say on top of trends in order to be a great consultant to clients. In addition to extensive shopping (!) we are always checking fashion blogs, our favorite Instagram stars and watching pop culture icons to stay on the forefront. Here is what we predict - look for retro styles to make a comeback strong as well as an emphasis on patterns and textures and new spins on old favorites.
DAD HATS: just in time for Father's day next month - dad hats is an unstructured cotton or canvas baseball cap that has a slightly curved bill and a strap back. Guess who is wearing them now? Counter culture hipsters, college kids, skateboarders, major celebrities are donning the formerly un-hip hats.
HEATHERED GARMENTS: Heather is a movie and it also refers to interwoven yards of mixed colors that produce flecks of alternating color. We have been seeing lots of heathered fabric apparel pieces including polo shirts, t-shirts and fleece. It had interest to apparel but in a subtle way that won't compete with your logo.
DENIM AND FLANNEL WOVEN SHIRTS: Cotton based denim and flannel woven shirts are important components of many retail collections headed into 2017. Denim and flannel woven shirts are available in short and long sleeve and in lighter weight, sleeker styles are great if your brand wants to project a youthful image or court a millennial generation audience
CAMO ACCENTS: Camouflage - pattered apparel is a trend that is likely to stay strong into 2018. Camo conveys an outdoorsy image with country-cool appeal. Caps with mesh back and camouflage fronts and camo accents in ladies apparel will hit the target! (What's a blog post without at least one pun?)
