From tiny tykes to towering teenagers, youth customers make up one of the most influential demographics in the decorated apparel industry. With a wide range of market needs and wants, including practical features for parents, comfortable playwear for kids and the latest looks for teens — all falling under the childrenswear umbrella — serving this niche can be as challenging as it is lucrative.
Today’s suppliers continue to meet market demand with “have-it-all” styles that offer fashion-forward details without sacrificing comfort or function. This year, the selection includes everything from kids’ tees with moisture- and odor-management technology, to looks for tots, teens and tweens with grown-up details, and classic crew necks in trendy colors and patterns.
