Hey there, fellow fashion enthusiasts and savvy business owners! Fall is just around the corner, and if you’re in the apparel game, now is the time to start thinking about your new product lineup for the season. Trust us, you don’t want to wait until the last minute to get your hands on the latest apparel trends. So, let’s dive into some new fresh products for this fall and how you can make sure your collection is ready to wow your customers.
Planning Ahead
It may seem like we’re getting ahead of ourselves talking about the fall, but fall is a prime time for new fashion, and the competition is fierce! You may still be wondering, “but why is it so crucial to start planning your fall collection now?” First things first: product stock! With tons of new styles and garments hitting the market, it’s vital that you order while they're hot and in stock. The earlier you get your products in line, the better your chances of beating the rush and securing those top-selling items. Plus, having your inventory ready in advance means you can focus on marketing and sales strategies, rather than scrambling to stock your shelves.
What's Hot for Fall 2024?
This fall, it’s all about combining comfort with style. Now more than ever, people are craving versatile pieces that they can wear for a variety of occasions and temperatures. Here are the top product categories you should explore for your fall collection:
T-Shirts
T-shirts are a year-round staple, but fall calls for a bit more flair. Think mid-heavy-weight fabrics, long-sleeve tees and layered looks that offer both warmth and style. Original favorites like crewnecks, and long-sleeves are always going to be in demand, but that doesn’t mean you have to shy away from experimenting with new styles! What’s new for the upcoming season?
Brand Recommendations
When it comes to quality, you can’t go wrong with brands like Bella+Canvas, Soft Shirts and Next Level. These brands offer a ton of great mid-weight options that are perfect for the cooler weather!
Ideas for Customization
Consider adding vibrant graphics or your brand’s logo to make these tees pop. Depending on the fabric type you choose, our Threadbird specialists will advise you on the best ink type to create your designs. If you’re interested in trying unique decoration, we also have speciality inks and printing methods to embellish tshirts with your designs. T-shirts are also an easy item to accessorize with branded hem tags, by adding them to the sleeve hem or bottom hem of the shirt.
Pullovers & Hoodies
Fall weather can be unpredictable, so versatile pullovers are a must. Mid-weight zip-ups, heavy-weight crewnecks and hoodies, are all the rage this year. From oversized fits to unique fabrics, there’s a hoodie style for everyone!
