6 Spring/Summer 2023 Fashion Trends to Wear and Sell

Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to embrace new fashion trends and refresh your wardrobe. Ready to refresh your personal wardrobe and sell the most on-trend products to your loyal clients? From relaxed denim to acid green to ballet-inspired wear, we’ve got six of-the-moment fashion cues to take now. 

Finally, that form-fitting denim and skinny jean trend is taking a hiatus. If you watch designers like Bottega Veneta and Tibi, you’ll see a pendulum swing toward looser, more relaxed fits for both denim jackets and bottoms.

Our Favorite Product Recommendations: We love the relaxed fit Threadfast Apparel Unisex Sherpa-Lined Denim Jacket for everyone, and it comes in Light Denim and Black Denim shades. Also from Threadfast, check out the Unisex Denim Jacket, which comes in Classic Denim, Light Denim and Black Denim, and offers a closer-to-the-body fit.

Decoration Inspiration: There are lots of great ways to embellish a denim jacket. Patches are a popular way to display a company logo, team mascot, band name, funny quote and more. Embroidering names, initials or a logo is a classic, long-lasting decoration option. Another unique way to personalize or customize a jean jacket is by creating lapel pins to match your personal style or client’s needs.

We’re hearing that the spring-into-summer forecast calls for lots of leather. Up the ante with moto-inspired jackets that really turn heads. You’ll find all types of leather pieces trending this season, including blazers, dresses and skirts.

Our Favorite Product Recommendations: The Threadfast Apparel Unisex Bomber Jacket, made from vegan leather, caught our eye; plus, it comes in Black, Army Green, Black Vegan Leather and Brown Vegan Leather. The J America Adult Natural Cap has a brushed, leather-like surface and comes in Royal, Red and Navy.

Decoration Inspiration: For a faux or real leather jacket, we’re looking at some upscale imprinting ideas. Embroidered patches for logos, mascots or names offer an elevated look. Leather applique, a form of a patch, is another option. You can even have the applique cut into a certain shape, letter or number. Finally, if you have the capability or can outsource the work, laser etching is a modern, premium option for putting a detailed image, pattern or words onto the jacket.

Acid green is making lots of waves as one of this season’s go-to hue. Fendi and Miu Miu popped in this energetic shade on the catwalks. 

Our Favorite Product Recommendation: If you want to inject some personality into your wardrobe, look no further than Gildan’s Adult Heavy Cotton T-Shirt in lively Safety Green.

Decoration Inspiration: For a stand-out look, try using black text in a bold font to create a high-contrast look that’s easy to read. To appeal to people or brands who love the Great Outdoors, this color t-shirt or hoodie is great for a nature-inspired motif, including vines, leaves, flowers, mountains or water, that evokes feelings of life, energy and growth. 

An alternative to notice-me green, red-gold hues showed up as head-to-toe looks at Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta and Alaïa. This saffron shade appeared in tops, leggings, suits and even fringe, showing how versatile it is for men and women.

Our Favorite Product Recommendation: We’re liking the Next Level Apparel Ladies' Ideal V in Antique Gold or the Gildan Adult Heavy Cotton T-Shirt Tennessee Orange or Old Gold. For a head-topper in a saffron shade, try on Champion Classic Washed Twill Cap in Carolina Gold.

Decoration Inspiration: Add metallic print or embroidered text or graphic elements to create a modern, sleek look. A saffron-colored tee or hoodie is also a great canvas for an animal motif, like a lion, tiger or eagle. A bold, stylized monogram is another way to personalize a reddish-gold hat or garment. Finally, a sports team mascot or logo looks great on this shirt shade for team members and fans.

Bright whites are again on trend as the weather gets warmer. You’ll find crisp whites in almost every type of apparel and accessory, from hats to t-shirts, to tanks and bottoms, to summer cropped hoodies to round out your look.

Our Favorite Product Recommendations: A few to look at—the Adams Vibe Cap, Next Level Apparel Unisex Cotton T-Shirt, Gildan Ladies' Heavy Cotton T-Shirt, Bella + Canvas Ladies' Flowy Racerback Tank, Jerzees Adult Nublend Jogger and TriDri Ladies' Yoga Fitted Jogger, all in White, of course.

Decoration Inspiration: A white t-shirt truly is a large, limitless blank canvas. If you have a large, one- or two-color design, a white t-shirt is perfect for high-volume screen-printed orders. Custom heat transfers, applied with either a heat press or iron, are an economical option for full-color, high-resolution designs.

Late ’90s nostalgia is in full force this season, with all things ballet (and ballet flats) taking center stage. Designers like Thom Browne, Tod’s and Simone Rocha are bringing back dance-inspired shoes and wear in both sweet pastels and trendy metallics.

Our Favorite Product Recommendations: We like pairing the Bella + Canvas Ladies' Flowy Long-Sleeve Off Shoulder T-Shirt with the TriDri Ladies’ Mesh Pocket Danica Leggings for an easy-breezy ballet-inspired look.

Decoration Inspiration: While you may not be personalizing or customizing these garments for dancers or a dance studio, you can take inspiration from the ballet world with your embellishments. Add more delicate embroidered script or design elements like stars or flowers to tap into the aesthetic. Sequins, beads and other bling can add sparkle and shine to shirts and leggings. Applique incorporating lace elements is another option that can appeal to schools, dance teams and sororities.

With our affordable collection of stylish t-shirts, hoodies, hats and bottoms in different colors, fabrics and fits, you can add a lot of personality to your wardrobe or the pieces you’re decorating to sell. Shop Threadsy’s t-shirt styles, hoodies and headwear for men, women and youth. They’re great for decorating with graphic or text-based designs and wearing everywhere.
