Spring Trend: Safari

02 Apr 2009

If you’re looking for trendy pieces amongst the massive selection of wholesale women clothing at your favorite B2B vendor, it’s time to take a look at the ethnic and the exotic. The popular safari look is once again back in style, with popular pieces embracing the looks of the wilds of Africa and the wealth of colonial India. However, designers are drawing inspiration from these locals rather than actually using the fashions of these eras and locations as a blueprint for their designs. The result is a fresh and interesting take on the safari tour look.

In order to bring these urban clothing wholesale pieces really up to date, display them with strong wooden accessories, open shoes, and accents such as delicate scarves with block or animal prints. Earth tones are especially a popular choice for both the jackets themselves and the pants or skirts that you pair them with. And nothing says a tour through the wild like a tan, although your customers will have to supply that themselves.

Spring Trend: Casual Anorak

02 Apr 2009

Many women find that they like having the right jacket on hand for any occasion. Outerwear can both dress up and dress down an outfit, making it an important piece for setting the tone of a wardrobe. Having a good selection of jackets and outerwear can be as important as finding the right pieces in your favorite vendor’s selection of wholesale skirts, tops, dresses and pants. A jacket is a piece that many buyers will get a lot of wear out of and may therefore be willing to splurge a bit on.

One popular look for the spring that will also work for summer is the lightweight anorak. When browsing through the selection of fashion clothing wholesale at your B2B vendor of choice, look for a lightweight jacket in a pale neutral color. A jacket like that is an excellent transition piece and can even be worn into the summer on cooler nights. There are even some jackets out there from manufacturers that feature zip-off sleeves, giving the buyer even more options.

Spring Trend: The Not-Blazer

02 Apr 2009

One of the fun things about fashion is seeing designers turn a classic style on its head. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t; you’ve probably seen some questionable looks browsing through the urban wholesale clothes at your B2B fashion dealer of choice. Putting a fresh and exciting spin on a tried-and-true style means giving shoppers new looks and new options, something that can keep them coming back again and again to update their wardrobe.

One look that we’ve seen stretched and reshaped for the spring is the classic blazer. Many plays on this standard look were shown on the runways, resulting in some not-so-standard jackets. Whether it was playing with bright colors or alternating between waistcoat and tailcoat lengths, these styles were anything but business boring. While browsing the wholesale hip hop clothing section for these styles might be a stretch, they’re definitely a new twist on an old look. Search for strong shoulders and lapels if you want to carry this style.

The Formal Trench

04 Mar 2009

As most fashionistas know, a great jacket can be the perfect way to pull an outfit together or set the tone of an ensemble. Why should you keep this in mind when shopping for wholesale urban clothes and dress fashions? It is also a great way for shoppers on a budget to be able to invest in a trend without breaking the bank — a jacket is a piece that they will be able to get a lot of wear of rather than only being paired with one or two other items of clothing. When adding wholesale juniors clothing, ladies fashions, or plus size pieces to your retail stock, keep outerwear in mind, particularly the latest hot looks that are being paraded down the runway and featured in fashion magazine spreads.

One coat style that designers were showing for spring that caught our attention was the formal trench coat. A far cry from the tan styles thrown over casual clothes, this trench is designed to impress at the next black tie function. When browsing through the stock at your favorite clothing wholesale vendor, keep an eye out for trenches that feature a tailored cut, a longer length than usual, and are constructed out of a luxury material such as satin. This is a style for your customers to pair with their favorite evening look rather than shield off the rain.

Sleeveless Jackets

12 Feb 2009

Spring is right around the corner, even if Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow this year. That means that a whole new fashion season is quickly approaching. If you’re a fashion retailer, whether you operate a traditional brick-and-mortar shop or sell clothing over the World Wide Web, this means it’s time to browse your favorite B2B vendor for first-quality clothing wholesale in hip hop, urban, casual, and other styles. It also means that it’s time to take a look at the latest collections to hit the runways and the styles that are getting the spreads in the most popular fashion magazines. If you want to purchase wholesale apparel for women that your customers will see as fresh and current, it’s essential to keep yourself up-to-date and informed of the trends.

One look that we’re seeing for spring is the sleeveless jacket. While some people might not really see how that’s any different than a vest, the difference lies in the details. A sleeveless jacket has the kind of tailoring that you would expect to see in a jacket with sleeves. This is a structured look that pairs perfectly with the layered and suited styles that we’re seeing for this spring. Encourage your customers to try wearing it over a pair of pleated pants or under a slim belt for a look that’s truly of-the-moment. Keep an eye out for these styles when browsing through fashion clothing wholesale.

Winter Trends: Seamed Waist Coats

06 Jan 2009

Coats are more than just a way to stay warm as the days and nights grow colder at the end of one year and the start of another. For many women, this wardrobe staple is a great way to make a serious fashion statement. If you’re a clothing retailer, adding coats to your stock that reflect the latest fashion trends is an excellent way to appeal to customers both old and new. A coat is an important investment piece that many women are willing to spend a little extra money on, so giving customers a range of options to choose from is a smart way to go.

When browsing through wholesale dress and casual options at your B2B apparel vendor of choice, keep an eye out for coats that feature a seamed waist. This style of coat is strongly influenced by military pea coats, as well as the mini wool coats that were quite popular during the “mod era” of the late 1960s. This is a fantastic style for fans of retro looks or styles that help them feel young (or young at heart.) However, they have enough classic appeal to work as an everyday coat for years to come, something your customers are certain to appreciate. When searching for these coats amongst your chosen dealer of wholesale clothing for women, keep an eye out for both below-the-knee and above-the-knee styles.

Winter Trends: Leather Biker Jackets

06 Jan 2009

Some classic styles come in and out of season as years and fashions pass. Styles like these may change a bit over the years, undergoing updates that make them more stylish and modern to appeal to newer fashionistas. When shopping for tops, dresses, jackets, and skirts wholesale, it’s a good idea to know what the latest trends are and what previous looks are once again on everyone’s hotlist. But more than that, it’s a good idea to keep in mind what updates have revitalized these looks for a new decade or generation of shoppers. Make sure that the stock that you purchase from your favorite B2B dress, casual, or hip hop clothes wholesale dealer of choice reflect the styles of today, not of yesterday.

One classic look that is hot hot hot at the moment is the leather biker jacket. This style ties in with several other popular looks of the season, including asymmetrical tops and rocker chic, both styles that have been seen repeatedly on the runway. However, this is one classic that stands on its own. Shoppers are choosing from sleek leather biker jackets in a number of classic colors. There are also options that step away from tradition and offer something new, such as biker jackets done in fur instead of leather. Keep an eye out when buying wholesale clothing for your store and see what new twists on this old favorite you can find.

Spring Trends: Lace Outerwear

06 Jan 2009

Trends in outwear are a must for fashion retailers to keep up with as the seasons change. For many fashionistas on a limited budget (which many are in these current days of economic crisis), picking up a jacket is a simple way to revitalize a wardrobe or take advantage of a trend without investing a lot of money in clothes. When purchasing clothing wholesale for juniors, ladies, and plus-size women, be sure to keep in mind that many shoppers are looking for affordable ways to enjoy the latest styles.

For shoppers who are looking for coats and jackets that add a more feminine touch to their wardrobe, lace is the go-to look this season. While it may seem like a fabric that should be reserved for formal wear only, lace is appearing in outerwear that is meant for career and even casual wear. So what type of lace outerwear should you keep an eye out for when shopping for wholesale juniors clothing? The key is in the structure and tailoring of the jackets. Neutral colors are a safe bet for those who want to indulge in this style while playing it safe. If you’re looking to add some of these outerwear pieces to your stock, look for lengths from cropped jackets to 3/4 length coats. Lace is also a popular look elsewhere, so keep an eye out for applicable wholesale skirts and more.

Spring Trends: Classic Coats

06 Jan 2009

If you frequently purchase junior, ladies, and plus size wholesale clothing for your retail apparel business, you know that keeping up with the seasonal changes in clothing is only part of what you need to do to attract customers to your store. Whether you sell online or you own a brick and mortar business, appealing to fashion-forward shoppers who are interested in the latest trends is an important thing to keep in mind. After all, why would you want to buy wholesale women clothing that shoppers have no interest in purchasing from you?

As the weather grows colder and people begin to bundle up, many women find that they are in need of a new coat to stand up to the chill winds that are starting to blow. If you’re looking to stock some winter coats that will interest your shoppers who are looking for the latest styles that they’ve seen in their favorite fashion magazines, think classic. Traditional materials such as wool and patterns like hound’s-tooth and tweed are popular choices, particularly when used in the tailored silhouettes of today’s fitted and flattering coats. When shopping for outerwear at your usual B2B vendor along with other clothing wholesale for plus size women, ladies, and juniors, keep the concept of classic meets modern in mind. Your shoppers are sure to be pleased with your selection.

Spring Trends: Denim Jackets

06 Jan 2009

Denim jackets are a fashion staple that has ebbed and waned in popularity over the years. We are happy to report that for the coming spring season, this classic look is once again “in” in the fashion world. However, purchasing any old denim outerwear from your favorite first-quality clothing wholesale dealer isn’t a guaranteed way to attract fashion-savvy shoppers. You’ll need to buy smart if you’re looking to take advantage of this fashion trend and attract customers to your retail shop.

The styles shown in New York weren’t anywhere near the same looks that someone might think of from the classic jackets that were worn by nearly everyone in the 80’s and 90’s — those are notable for being casual and boxy. Instead, denim that is currently making an appearance in the fashion world is proving to everyone that it can be very sophisticated as well. This is the key to remember when you’re shopping for wholesale womens clothing. If you want to appeal to shoppers looking for casual comfort that has been disguised as smart business wear, look for denim cut into the form of sleek jackets and feminine blazers. Your shoppers are sure to love these stylish and flattering pieces.

While dark denim has been the rule for more formal looks for a while, lighter denim is in once more. Advise your shoppers that the cut and tailoring is more important than the color for today’s looks. This is a good rule to keep in mind for yourself when shopping for any denim juniors, ladies, and plus size wholesale clothing.
