APPAREL TREND WATCH
 
Color Trends:  This year we're seeing bright oranges, lime, brown, and some softer hues and earth tones.  The hot new neutral color is eucalyptus... a little bit of green meets a touch of gray, and just a hint of khaki.  This color evokes the eco-friendly movement with its earthy, leafy tones and excels in practicality as a neutral that can be paired with any other shade for a corporate or casual look.
 
Fashion:  More and more promotional users are following retail trends.  Apparel with non-traditional decoration locations, retail hang tags selling the back story, designs/themes with drop in logos , and impressive sleek designs.  Retail brands are strong.

Don't hate "The Pink Hats"
Pink HatHere in Boston the term "Pink Hat" is a not-so-nice term used to describe a clueless bandwagon fan who has just latched on to the recent success of the Red Sox. We'll leave the hating to the long suffering Red Sox fans who coined that term and I'll instead expound the virtues of this perfectly fine piece of headwear.
 
The exciting news about this Port Authority brand, garment-dyed hat is that it is available in SEPARATE men's and ladies' cuts.  Both are made from soft, 100% cotton twill and have a nice unstructured profile- but the ladies' is lower in the front for a better fit but still leaves plenty of room to embroider your logo.  It is available in over a dozen colors in both the men's and ladies' styles...including two shades of pink!  In the $8.00 range embroidered with your logo.

 Give Them Their New Favorite Shirt
 Polo ShirtBranding a piece of apparel that employees or clients will wear time and time again takes some thought beyond slapping your logo onto the least expensive polo shirt available.  Regardless of your budget, I can help you find a piece of apparel that your recipient will be proud to wear and in turn provide you with lasting marketing exposure. I can also make suggestions on decorating techniques that can make your logo pop but not make the wearer feel like a walking billboard.  For instance, this Silk Touch zoom sport shirt is a poly/cotton pique blend with double-needle stitching, 2-button contrast placket, metal buttons, hemmed sleeves and side vents. With its unique colorblocking detail on the left chest and great retro appeal it has a high perceived value, so you may be surprised to find that the price is under $20.00 including embroidery.
Neet Feet!
 Flip FlopsSummer promotions just aren't complete without branded flip flops for strutting your stuff.  These custom logo flip-flops feature customized three-layer anatomically recessed rubber soles available in a myriad of color combinations, built in arch support and imprinted straps.  A die-cut logo on the bottom of the sandals leaves an imprint in the sand!  Because these custom flip-flops are high quality, durable as well as comfortable and offer several places for branding, they are the perfect warm weather apparel choice!  From company picnics to premium sports events, from trade show giveaways to corporate travel gifts these are the perfect choice.  In the $15.00 range in smaller quantities. 
Let's get together soon to chat about your apparel needs for trade show staffing, human resource needs, or corporate gifts.  Also, feel free to contact me if you need a 2010 Imprinted Apparel catalog- I'd be happy to send one out to you.
Call me today if you need a sample, quote or a fresh idea!
