NYFW has two more days of shows, but the top trends are already emerging. Here are six styles to look out for in 2013, plus their promotional equivalents.
1. Boxy Purses
Your clients might say, “Is that a cooler?” But you’ll know the correct response: “Box-shaped bags were all the rage at NYFW. This one just happens to have insulation as well.”
2. Plaid
Marc Jacobs and alice+olivia proved that plaid is not just for flannel. Dress up the outerwear staple with corporate wear like this tie from Wolfmark.
3. Cat Eye Glasses
Bring some retro style to your client’s promotion like Tory Burch did to her runway with the 50s Cat’s Eye Rhinestone Sunglasses from Brainstorm Novelties.
4. Cowl Necks & Exaggerated Collars
Oscar de la Renta, Band of Outsiders and Prabal Gurung showed exaggerated collars on their runways. Add warm and dramatic collars to your promotions with Cowl Turtleneck from Alternative Apparel.
5. Knit Caps
Band of Outsiders showed oversized knit caps. For normal-sized, promotional purposes, use hats like the Adult Knit Cap with Visor from Heritage Sportswear Inc.
6. Zebra Print
The brand alice+olivia showed zebra prints on clothing and accessories. Try this Zebra Print Sequin Bag from Tiffany Leonard & Co. for your animal print-loving clients.
