Fashion is constantly evolving, and promo apparel is always right behind. Make sure you know which retail trends to focus on this year to excite clients and exceed expectations. Vantage Apparel is sharing top trends, product recommendations and popular colors to watch in 2022.
Classically chic and academia-inspired, it’s no surprise why preppy aesthetics are returning to the runways, retail stores and, yes, promo apparel as well. From retro-inspired logos to layering oversized crews, prim and proper pieces with a collegiate influence are top requests for fashion-forward branded apparel. While always a top choice for corporate accounts and employee uniform programs, preppy apparel is also emerging in popularity with everyday consumers, so be sure to include a few styles in your sales presentations.
This contemporary and comfortable vest effortlessly transitions from the desk to the outdoors, allowing your clients to reach a diverse audience.
Combining upscale appeal with performance features, this next generation of preppy dress shirts will provide all-day comfort. Prioritize presenting the trending "Pink Sandhill" shade for of-the-moment style.
With employees logging on from home and work-from-anywhere business models becoming the norm, loungewear has exploded in both retail and promo. However, a lot has changed since the inception of the matching sweatsuit “quarantine uniform.” While consumers still want to be comfortable, they now want to look put-together too, opening the door for elevated pieces that combine a professional appearance with soft-and-cozy comfort.
The next stage in loungewear, the eco-friendly Grace Flow cardigan is comfortable, refined and office approved. Oh, and did we mention it’s made from 45% recycled polyester too?
The classic, cozy fleece jacket just got a modern update. Point out new and trending features like raglan sleeves, rib knit cuffs and slash welt pockets.
Sustainability isn’t just a nice bonus feature anymore. Today’s consumers care about reducing their carbon footprint, particularly younger audiences like Gen Z and millennials. If your clients want to appeal to these groups, earth-friendly apparel is an absolute must. Talk to your suppliers to get sustainable sales information that allows you to tell a story on your sales calls. For example, clients would much rather hear about how each garment they purchase repurposes recycled water bottles than generalized promises you can’t back up with statistics.
As comfortable to wear as it is good for the environment, each of these high-performing polos keeps seven plastic bottles from ending up in landfills and oceans.
The eco-wise choice for outdoor enthusiasts, these moisture-wicking pullovers are made with Repreve premium recycled polyester.
While it’s important to stay on top of rising trends, some things simply never go out of style. Update your apparel presentations by incorporating some of these elevated basics and core offerings from Vantage Apparel. From polos to shirts to jackets, Vantage Apparel has you covered, no matter what garments your clients need.
