Every school, athletic team and business group should keep the following custom apparel trends in mind as we approach 2021!

2020 has certainly been a pretty rough year for everybody, so let’s start looking ahead to 2021 and the many different custom apparel trends that ARES Sportswear will be keeping in mind for many of our client orders!

Custom clothing has definitely developed a ton during 2020, and in many ways it’s never been more important to show team/school spirit and say we’re here for each other through what we wear! There’s absolutely no denying that custom masks and face coverings are going to continue to grow in popularity in 2021, but there are also many different apparel options that are trending that we’ll discuss in detail below!

1. Bold T-Shirt Designs and Logos

The ARES Sportswear team has always been a leading provider of custom tees for many years, and 2020 saw a lot more people wearing t-shirts on a more regular basis. This is partly because more adults are working from home and more kids are taking classes remotely, but nevertheless t-shirt sales are ubiquitously up and designs/logos are becoming bolder than ever before!

A lot of schools, businesses and charity organizations are embracing vibrant colors and bigger logo designs, and the ARES team is confident that this aesthetic, eye-catching trend is going to continue into 2021.

2. Casual Work/School Attire  

2020 embraced casual work/school attire probably more than we had hoped for, but it’s safe to say that people everywhere have gotten used to wearing more comfortable apparel on a daily basis.

Custom polo shirts come with a whole array of benefits for businesses and school groups, because they provide a professional, timeless look. And these days custom polos are becoming just as practical in the workplace as suits and ties are!

We’re absolutely confident that casual work apparel will continue to grow in popularity throughout 2021, and that the 2020 Holiday Season is a great time for business leaders to consider these types of orders as employee gifts.

3. ¼ Zips Will Continue To Rise In Popularity

¼ zips were popular during the colder months at the beginning of 2020, and now that the weather is starting to cool down again they’re picking back up. ¼ zips provide a really great combination of both comfort and style that’s great for athletic teams, businesses and school groups of all types.

So it’s pretty safe to say that ¼ zips have been a trendy custom apparel option for awhile now, and this is partly because all types of athleisure wear have been growing in popularity in recent years.

And when it comes to 2021 trends, ¼ zips will be right up there as one of the hottest apparel items throughout the country!

4. Throwback Hoodies

Throwback or retro hoodie designs are undoubtedly a part of the fall 2020 custom hoodie trends, and these 80s/90s design themes will continue to grow in popularity throughout 2021.

We’re now currently seeing a lot of growth in throwback prints, pastel colors, and neon logo designs that are great for school groups and businesses that are looking to add a little fun to their professional team apparel.

What’s great about throwback hoodies is that both younger and older demographics love the designs, so it’s safe to say that A LOT of people will be making these types of style adjustments to their orders!
