Sparkle for Daytime

07 May 2009

Many designers have added new levels of glitz and glamour to some of their pieces in recent fashion seasons. These days, sparkle isn’t just reserved for a night out on the town. Perhaps you’ve picked up a number of embellished articles of clothing from your B2B women wholesale clothing vendor or vendors of choice. However, these are generally pieces that aren’t intended for the shy wallflower; they’re guaranteed to get the wearer a fair amount of attention. Still, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be worn during the day or to more casual events.

If your customers are wondering how to make these pieces work in their wardrobe, encourage them to pair the sparkle with neutral solids, either staples that they already have in their wardrobe or classic pieces that you have in your stock. If you plan to sell glitzy skirts, for example, keep an eye out for plain tops and jackets wholesale for your customers.

Bar Graph

07 May 2009

Prints are shaping up to be one of the hotter trends this summer, with designers showing a number of different styles, both retro and fresh, that caught our eye. How do you know which wholesale fashion clothing styles are the right ones to pick up to add to your store stock and catch the eyes of both returning and potential customers? One look that was popular on the runway was wide stripes, reminiscent of the colorful bar graphs you might find in an office meeting. However, these looks are much more fun and decidedly less business-like.

When looking for stripes that work for today’s trends from your favorite casual or dress wholesale clothing vendor, keep in mind that both wide and colorful seem to the be the domineering factors. These styles are meant to be bright and bold, perfect for those who want to make a real statement. If some of your customers find these looks too overwhelming, there are accessories that are more approachable.

Summer Trend: Spin Me Round

07 May 2009

When it comes to the spring and summer fashion seasons, we look forward to seeing what fun looks designers will come up with. Whether embracing bold color choices, fun and fanciful patters, or exciting new cuts, there’s almost always something for everyone. One style to keep in mind when you’re browsing the racks of wholesale clothing for women in order to find new selections for your retail fashion business is the charming and youthful dot. That’s right; polka dots are back and bigger than ever. And when we say bigger, we mean that literally.

Many designers are showcasing dresses, tops, skirts, and more that feature dotted prints. The colors tend to be bright and bold, making these already eye-catching prints even more daring. These looks are perfect for customers who want to inject some fun in their summer wardrobe. Keep an eye out for these stylish circles when you’re browsing for clothing wholesale for women to add to your store.

Summer Trend: Mirrored Ball

07 May 2009

Do you have customers who are looking for an easy way to transform their nine-to-five looks into hot happy-hour styles? Are you looking for juniors, ladies, or plus size wholesale styles that are fresh and current for the hottest clubs? This summer, it looks like designers have taken some time to reflect on their designs–literally. Some of the hottest styles for after work drinks and dancing are those that feature a look reminiscent of a shining disco ball. We’re not talking sequins here. Instead, these upscale styles feature crystals and mirrored glass accents for a look that truly shines.

While most women won’t be comfortable wearing a full dress that gleams, there are plenty of beautiful accent possibilities that will work with almost any woman’s sense of style. When shopping for tops wholesale, you might find tanks with mirrored accents that look great under a jacket. Many women love fun handbags–a mirrored clutch is the perfect companion for a night out on the town, one that will catch your customers’ eyes. Bangles and other bold jewelry pieces are also great options.

Summer Trend: Gingham

07 May 2009

There are certain prints that have the ability to convey a whole atmosphere in just a few square inches of fabric. One of these is the classic gingham pattern. Whether in the traditional red and white or another color variation, gingham brings to mind warm summer days, picnics in the park, and wholesome fun with family and friends. When shopping for wholesale clothes to add to your store stock as customers start picking up pieces for the upcoming warmer months, keep an eye out for this fun fabric in crisp, retro styles. Dresses are popular picks, particularly those with full 50s-inspired skirts. Look for charming sleeveless blouses and fun Capri pants as well. Classic styles work the best for this fabric, whether you’re browsing through juniors, ladies, or plus size wholesale clothing. Your customers are sure to enjoy the clean lines and fun retro styling, whether they’re planning to enjoy a picnic outdoors or enjoy the air conditioning inside.

Summer Trend: Paint Your Wagon

07 May 2009

When looking for wholesale dresses and other styles that are perfect to add to your stock of summer styles for new and old customers alike, one look to keep in mind is styles that appear to have been inspired by watching a few reruns of Little House on the Prairie. The look that designers are dabbling in for their summer lines is decidedly homespun and hand-crafted. Perfect for the hottest of summer days, sundresses in textured linen or faded calico prints are a big hit. To keep these dresses looking fresh and modern rather than imply dated, try layering them with pieces in contrasting prints. Blouses, skirts, and belts are all popular choices.

If you’re looking for wholesale fashion accessories to offer to your customers in addition to summer dresses and other clothing pieces, keep in mind that the look should remained crafty. Woven belts and bags, chunky rough jewelry, and wooden slides are all good bets.

Summer Trend: Modern Maharaja

07 May 2009

One of the hottest clothing trends for the upcoming summer months that we’ve seen on the runways are those inspired by the rich heritage of the country of India. Designers have taken the beautiful traditional styles of this culture and have added their own modern twist in order to create must-have looks that will make many a woman feel like royalty.

Popular fabric choices for these styles include light gauzy cottons (perfect for keeping cool over hot summer months), satins, and brocades. When browsing wholesale dress, top, skirt, and pant possibilities that fit in with this trend, keep in mind that embellishment is the key. From rich embroidery to stunning beadwork, it’s the details that add the finishing touch to these hot designs. Tell your customers that these pieces can be paired with rich accessories such as glittering jewelry or a beautiful metallic shoe. They’ll be feeling like a modern maharaja in no time!

Spring Trend: Soft Pants

02 Apr 2009

When shopping for clothing wholesale in hip hop, urban, and casual styles for your retail business stock, jeans are usually a safe bet. While cuts and washes change, denim is generally always a hit with shoppers, especially those looking for more comfortable pants. However, recent jean styles have been tighter and more tailored than many women feel comfortable with. Luckily, for those who are tired of suffering through “muffin tops” and pants that pinch, designers have embraced a softer pant for spring.

Looser and slouchier than most jeans we’ve seen in recent years, these softer pants are designed to sit below a woman’s waist when worn. When looking for tops in the wholesale fashion clothes racks to pair with these pants, keep in mind that too simple or basic a top will make a rather uninspiring outfit — with a little tailoring on top and the right shoe, these pants are actually perfectly appropriate for the office, even if they feel like something shoppers would wear when lunging around the house.

Spring Trend: Printed Blouses

Posted in: wholesale tops
02 Apr 2009

When it comes to choosing from the extensive collection of wholesale sweaters, blouses, and other tops available from your local B2B vendor, it can sometimes be difficult figuring out what styles contemporary women are looking for to top off their look. Styles come and go so quickly; are more structured looks the hot choice for the season, or are designers and fashionistas more interested in tops that are flowier?

This spring, the latter seems to be the prevailing trend, a striking contrast to the exceptionally tailored pieces we saw in the fall. When browsing through off price clothing racks, keep in mind that the styles that were seen were predominantly printed blouses. These loose but still feminine pieces gather inspiration from the classic peasant blouse and look fantastic with a pair of slim jeans. They have also been shown paired with tailored jackets and skirts, giving a new twist to business wear. Encourage your customers to avoid looser pants and skirts with these blouses.

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: Hourglass Shaping

02 Apr 2009

When browsing the clothing off size selection at your favorite B2B vendor, keep in mind some of the hot looks that were seen on the runways this spring. With a fresh and current selection of styles, you’re certain to draw in the business of both returning and new customers. One popular look that the designers were showing is an intriguing take on the concept of the hourglass figure. An exaggeration that likely sprung from the popularity of the 60’s style shown on Mad Men, this powerful look takes the hourglass to literal extremes and beyond, creating a powerful silhouette that really embraces the concept of womanly curves.

Although it’s certainly eye-catching, this is a look that not every woman is daring enough to wear. When browsing wholesale plus size clothing, ladies clothing, or juniors clothing, you might do a little better keeping an eye out for less dramatic hourglass shapes, a flattering look that works well on a wide range of women.

Spring Trend: Texture

02 Apr 2009

If you’re looking for wholesale womens apparel that fits in with the latest trends that have been seen on the runways, texture is an important thing to keep in mind. Designers were showing dresses and other pieces on the spring runways that featured sculpted fabric. Demonstrating new innovations in fabric manipulation, these styles embrace classic silhouettes, but utilize draping and folding as a form of ornamentation, creating an eye-catching interplay of light and shadow.

When searching through wholesale plus size, ladies, or juniors clothing for pieces that tie into this theme, keep in mind that the layering itself is all the decoration that these articles of clothing need. Styles vary from romantic to freshly-laundered, but the craftsmanship is the key. If your customers would like advice on how to wear these beautiful pieces, encourage them to keep accessories to a minimum, as they will only serve as a distraction from the delicate sculpting.

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: Silky Styles

02 Apr 2009

What styles should you be on the lookout for when you’re browsing through your favorite clothing wholesale dealer’s selection of pieces? Trend reports for the spring are in and one of the hottest looks seems to be silky pieces that leave behind the complicated details that have been a bit hit in recent fashion seasons, instead embracing the art of simplicity. Forget about pleats and tailoring and all the other structured shapes that were your big sellers this past fall. Browse clothes wholesale racks for more minimalistic pieces. A good word to describe this style that designers have embraced is “airy”.

Why do these looks appeal to shoppers looking for more than just the hottest seasonal trends? The soft solid palettes used for these pieces means they’re both pretty and easy to wear. Soft and flowing, they also offer the comfort of pajamas or loungewear while still looking perfectly attractive. Keep in mind that monochrome is the look here. Whether you’re browsing clothing wholesale for plus size, ladies, or junior shoppers, avoid patterns when purchasing these free-flowing pieces.

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.
