Summer Trend: The Brave & The Bold

21 May 2009

We’re not sure exactly what it was that made so many designers interested in creating pieces that really stand out this season. Maybe it’s a reaction to the dark and dour outlook on the economy. It might just be a natural progression away from the pale colors and neutral tones of recent seasons. Whatever the reason, fashion retailers like yourself have likely been combing the racks of wholesale plus size, ladies, and juniors clothing to find saturated color and eye-catching patterns that tie into the styles that have been shown on the runways and in the hottest fashion magazines.

In addition to keeping an eye on bold and beautiful dressy and urban clothes wholesale selection at your favorite vendor, remember to see what accessories you can find that are breaking the mold. The runways showed us quite a few heavily adorned models, particularly the show-stopping Louis Vuitton spring show. From decadently designed footwear to extra-wide leather belts to eye-catching earrings, there’s no such thing as over accessorizing.

Summer Trend: Knock on Wood

21 May 2009

We’ve seen that big prints and bold colors are one of the hottest trends that designers are currently showing. As a fashion retailer who likes to stay “in the know, in the now”, there’s a good chance that you’re already keeping an eye out for these styles when you’re shopping for wholesale womens apparel to add to your store stock. However, just because the designers are saying yes doesn’t mean that your customer base will feel the same way. Even fashionistas don’t always feel comfortable attempting to pull off the latest trends.

However, not all of the hottest styles are voraciously vibrant. For those shoppers who like things more neutral and natural, keep an eye out for clothing off size that will let them go Into the Woods. And when we say wood, we mean it literally — clothing and accessories with wooden accents are burning up the runways (not literally, luckily). For customers that might not have a lot of money to burn themselves, keeping a great selection of wood-based accessories is a great way to take advantage of this trend.

Summer Trends: Extra Long Fringe

07 May 2009

While we’ve seen fringe as an accent embraced by a variety of designers in recent seasons, it appears that the old styles weren’t just cutting it for the upcoming summer. The runways and fashion magazines have shown us that fringe is reaching new heights — and lengths. When you’re shopping for new styles of wholesale women clothing, ladies clothing, and juniors clothing to add to your selection of retail styles, be sure to keep an eye out for fringe: the longer the better.

While dresses and skirts with feet of fringe might not be the most practical selections for the everyday woman, you’re still likely to find some options when browsing the selection of casual or urban wholesale clothing available from your favorite vendor. Accessories give your customers a quick and easy way to indulge in a trend without having to buy a whole new wardrobe. Fringed necklaces, belts, bags and more are good options.

Spring Trend: Embellishment

02 Apr 2009

In addition to knowing what styles of clothing wholesale women are shopping for, it’s good to keep in mind what accessories are popular at the moment. Often, spicing up an old outfit with a trendy dash of color or sparkle is a much more affordable way to refresh an aging wardrobe than buying new tops and bottoms. And in a struggling economy, many shoppers will appreciate the option.

The accessories and embellishments that designers showed in their spring collections were perhaps a reflection of current economic affairs. The look was shattered and scattered: broken sequins and irregular beadwork. Fresh, funky, and fun, these accessories are a great way for your customers to shine without having to make too bold of a statement. Pair a shimmering belt with black or other neutral wholesale pants to give shoppers an idea of how these pieces will work with basics they can use or that they already have.

Spring Trend: Double Denim

02 Apr 2009

If you and your customers are fans of denim, you’ll be pleased to know that double denim, a trend that was popular in the 1980’s, is once again being seen on the runways and on the backs of celebrities like actress Christina Ricci. What exactly is double denim? This look pairs jeans with a matching denim jacket or shirt. Don’t choose just any denim jackets and pants wholesale to carry in your retail store. While some fashionistas choose to use different washes for top and bottom, the prevailing trend is that they match.

Keep an eye out for wholesale jackets that have the same wash as jeans from your favorite designer to carry. If you can find denim sets that feature embellishments, be sure to grab them. Sets intended to go together are particularly hot, and those with decorative details have the visual interest needed to keep the look from being too boring.

Spring Trend: Wide Belts

02 Apr 2009

Accessories are an important part of any woman’s wardrobe. They can pull an outfit together, give the wearer a more polished look, and even dress a style up or down. When purchasing clothing wholesale for juniors, ladies, and plus size store stock, don’t overlook the accessories that your vendor of choice has available for you to select from. Your customers will appreciate it.

When shoppers are looking for belts this season and want to know which looks are the most popular, point them in the direction of the widest belts you have in stock. Whether made of leather or fabric, these belts almost qualify as sashes. Even smaller belts are being doubled up by fashionistas as a strong accent to outfits. Display these stylish accessories with dresses and skirts wholesale — you’re certain to catch the eye of discerning shoppers. Encourage them to try out a splash of color or even a fun patchwork pattern.

Spring Trend: Yellow

02 Apr 2009

When shopping for plus size, ladies, and juniors wholesale clothing to add to your store stock, don’t forget to keep an eye out for hot accessories that your customers will love. A great way to spruce up an old outfit or indulge in a new trend without breaking the bank, accessories are always popular with shoppers. In the current economic crisis, many shoppers will also be pleased to have a more affordable option on hand.

One popular trend in both designer and hip hop wholesale clothing for the spring and summer is the color yellow. However, many consumers aren’t brave enough to where this bright and bold hue in a major piece in their wardrobe. This is where accessories work perfectly; a color like yellow is far easier to pull off as an accent than as the focus. Keep an eye out for handbags, belts, shoes, and other accessories that feature this canary hue.

Colored Tights

12 Feb 2009

The economy isn’t doing too well these days. Even those who haven’t been personally affected by the financial crisis would be hard-pressed to have missed all the news stories about it. For many people, their disposable income just isn’t what it used to be. Even those who are still employed and doing fine might choose to save their money rather than spend it. If you’re a clothing retailer, this might make you far more selective about the wholesale skirts, tops, pants, dresses, and other clothing pieces you purchase to add to your store stock. Many shoppers may choose to work with what they have rather than go out and purchase new outfits to wear. Luckily, if you keep this in mind when browsing through the wholesale clothing for women at your B2B dealer of choice, you’ll find ways to help shoppers expand the possibilities inherent in their current wardrobe.

While spring is almost upon us, there is still plenty of cold weather to face before the flowers start to unfurl. One look that has been popular since the fall is wearing spring or summer sandals in cooler weather along with tights. This is particularly true of black tights paired with black sandals. It’s very possible that this trend will extend into the spring season, so colored tights are a good thing to keep an eye out for. When paired with the wholesale dresses that you’re selling or simply added to a shopper’s existing wardrobe, they open up a whole new realm of style choices.

Belts Belts Belts

12 Feb 2009

The changing of the fashion season isn’t just about what new clothing pieces are hip and hot. When you’re shopping for tops, pants, jackets, dresses, and skirts wholesale to add to your retail fashion stock, don’t forget about the crowning jewel of any ensemble: the accessories. Aside from being the perfect touch to pull an outfit together, accessories are an affordable way for shoppers to update their look and fit in with the latest styles. In this time of economic turmoil, many people have found that their finances just can’t support the type of splurging they’d like. This means less disposable income for things like fashion trends. Accessories are a great compromise for those who want to give their style a facelift but might not be able to swing purchasing a complete outfit from your stock of clothing wholesale for juniors, ladies or plus sizes.

One popular look of the season is the belt, always a wardrobe staple. What’s so different about the belts that we’re seeing these days? The fact of the matter is that they’re being worn with just about everything except pants. A skinny belt looks fantastic over a tailored jacket or blouse, while a wider belt — perhaps one with some corset-type styling — completely changes the look of a dress. These belts are more fashion than function, but they do serve to make clothing look more fitted, providing the wearer with the silhouette they want.

Spring Trends: Bangles

04 Feb 2009

When you’re out shopping for classic and urban clothes wholesale to add to your retail stock for the coming fashion season, don’t forget to stock up on the accessories as well. In times like the current economic crisis where many consumers are feeling a real crunch in their wallets, many shoppers can’t afford to update their wardrobe to the extent that they would like. Along the same vein, while there are many hot trends they might wish to participate in, chances are their budget won’t allow for extensive splurging at the current time. This is why accessories are a great choice along with the wholesale clothes you normally purchase–they are an affordable way for customers to transform their favorite outfits for a new look.

Since a lot of the looks on the spring runway were very sleek and uncomplicated, some designers chose to liven things up by stacking on the bangle bracelets. Reminiscent of Jazz heiress Nancy Cunard, who was well-known for wearing armfuls of bracelets from Africa, the bangles seen on the runway served to give the clothing an exotic edge. Louis Vuitton showed bangles in animal prints, while the Phillip Lim collection used pierced glass bangles to add to the Mideast influence in their collection. These bracelets are perfect with a wide range of wholesale clothing for juniors, ladies, and women and are sure to appeal to customers looking for a simple way to make a big impact.

Fall Trend: Purple

10 Dec 2008

You’ll find a wide range of first-quality wholesale clothes for retail sale when you shop for stock at your favorite B2B fashion vendor. Some items may come from the current fashion season, while others might be left over from seasons past. However, as a store owner looking to carry stock that appeals to customers, it’s essential to make wise buying decisions. After all, you want to buy wholesale clothing for women, ladies, and juniors that will sell. Keeping the current trends in mind might just translate to better business for your shop or online store.

One of the hottest shades of the fall fashion season is the color purple. Long considered to be the color of royalty, purple is back in a big way. The shades seen on the runway are dark and rich — think of the shades of the most valuable of amethysts. While shopping for wholesale jackets and pants in these shades might be a bit over-the-top, purple accessories are certain to be a big hit with fashion-forward consumers this fall. Shoppers will love a purple shoe to add color and style to an otherwise simple outfit. A purple handbag will look great with the gray menswear styles that are also a big hit this fall season. And eye-catching jewelry in shades of violet is also sure to be a big seller. Don’t forget other accessories such as scarves and belts.

Fall Trend: Heavy Metal Accessories

10 Dec 2008

As a fashion retailer, it’s important to keep up-to-date with the trends that shoppers are most interested in. Even if you purchase your stock from wholesale fashion vendors where the selection is a mixture of items from current and past seasons, it’s a good idea to be familiar with what your customers will be looking for so that you can plan your purchases accordingly. If you purchase the tops, pants, skirts, dresses, and jackets wholesale that shoppers will actually want to buy, you’re that much more likely to do that kind of business you need to do in order to call your shop a success.

While many of the clothing pieces that are in style this fall reflect a feminine feel and silhouette, one of the popular choices for accessories is items that have more of an edgy or punk feel. This provides a nice balance to the more feminine styles that you may be purchasing from your favorite first-quality clothing or wholesale women fashion vendor. One of the most common elements found on a wide range of accessories is the zipper. No longer just limited to functional, zippers are appearing in abundance as decorative trim everywhere we look. From purses that have more zippers than compartments to shoes and jewelry that feature sculpted zipper roses, this eye-catching and intriguing trend is one that shoppers love.

Fall Trends: Modern Boho

One of the trends that has been featured on the runway as of late is a modern take on bohemian style. Rather than embracing the whole hippie look, these pieces are meant to be paired with more classy and tailored looks to create a whole new style. When browsing wholesale dresses and other items at your B2B vendor, here are some items that you might want to keep an eye out for.

In addition to wholesale clothes with a bohemian flavor, accessories are very hot. Scarves that feature ethnic prints and fringe are in. Chunky cuff bracelets and bold necklaces with naturalistic designs are a bold and exciting statement. These simple accessories are very versatile and are a big hit with shoppers who want to add a little touch of trend to their outfit without having to splurge on a whole new outfit. Shoes are also another very popular way for shoppers to update their wardrobe without breaking the bank. Boots with a retro flavor such as stacked heels and pierced leather are incredibly popular at the moment.

Remember, when shopping for tops, skirts, dresses, and pants wholesale from your favorite B2B vendor, accessories shouldn’t be overlooked, particularly in tougher economic times like this. Accessories are often how people choose to update their wardrobe when they’re on a limited budget.
