Your customers might be asking you for a bunch of t-shirts, but you know deep down that they want to look good and feel good when they wear them. Even in something as basic as a t-shirt, little adjustments for fit and fabrication can make a big difference in whether the final product gets worn or hidden away in a drawer, never to be seen again.
In other words, we’re not just talking about basic tees. We’re talking about fashion.
Basic t-shirts become fashion tees when they begin to follow trends seen in retail, such as shirts with a contoured fit or made from lightweight, soft fabrics.
While fashion tees can be found in many varieties, there are some brands which stand out. Choosing a shirt from any of these brands is a guarantee of something that looks good and feels good to wear.
- District® has made a mission of creating fashion basics for every body. From the soft and versatile cotton/polyester blend in the Very Important TeeTM to the 100% recycled fabric Re-Tee®, these are shirts made to be worn over and over.
- Allmade® tees are both responsibly made and super-soft. Whether it’s their trademark tri-blend or organic cotton fabric, Allmade makes shirts that feel good to wear in every way.
- Bella+Canvas® is a promotional industry favorite for its retail-inspired fit and styling, heathered colors and luxuriously soft tees and tanks. If you have a favorite concert shirt you love to wear, chances are good that it’s a Bella tee.
- Next LevelTM is one of the most recent brand additions to the SanMar catalog, and we’re excited that they’re here. Shirts from Next Level fit comfortably, look fantastic and feel good to wear with plenty of variety to fit any customer.
When you want to get beyond the basics, keeping these brands in mind is a great way to get started. Next time your customer is looking for a t-shirt that looks and feels like something straight out of a retail shop, showcase any of these and your storefront instantly becomes a fashion tee shop.
