2020 has been quite the year! From an increase in remote work to major advancements in the sustainable fashion industry, standout trends have developed as a result. No matter what aesthetic your brand portrays, trying out these new trends can give your custom swag a fun refresh!

Trending: Biz-Leisure & Elevated Activewear

Styles that move like activewear but are classic like business wear have become the staples of 2020. Staying comfortable while looking professional has become a necessity in the eyes of modern professionals. The increase of remote work culture and athleisure trends has resulted in a hybrid style that will stick around for seasons to come.

Trending: Revamped Workwear

Durable fabrics and reputable workwear brands have found themselves in unexpected ensembles in 2020. Workwear styles provide effortless trans-seasonal pieces. Classic styles from brands such as Carhartt and Dickies can now be found in your every day wardrobe.

We're loving styles that have a "well loved" look. Hoodies that have a washed fade and accessories with a slight distressing bring a trendy touch to any wardrobe. Incorporate this trend by choosing heathered fabrics and faded colors.

 Color blocking is a fun way to bring excitement and contrast into your swag. You can color block with muted earth tones, or color block with vibrant, bold colors. Either way, use this trend to bring an unexpected twist to your merch.

Utilizing textures as prints is a great way to stay on trend and modernize your accessories. Influenced by the rawness and natural patterns in nature, wood prints are a refreshing yet chic theme.
