Get Back-to-School Ready with Custom Spiritwear
What’s hot for summer is cool for fall.
Back to school season is right around the corner and Hype Promo is your go-to for the latest trends in spiritwear. Whether you are fundraising for the PTO, Booster Club or athletic teams, we've got you covered.
Athleisure is very popular among kids, depending on your school's dress code, but there's been a shift in focus to a more streetwear look. We offer both polos and button-down options for schools that require uniforms as well as t-shirts and hoodies decorated with your school's logo. When it comes to apparel trends, athleisure certainly scores an A+. Performance wear-inspired pieces have stepped out of the gym and are now the go-to staple for running errands, visiting friends, heading to class or studying up at the library. For High school and Collegiate markets, you’ll want to prioritize heavier-weight garments with quality construction like Next Level Apparel's 2050, 2021 and 2022 for a gym-ready look that’s up for anything students get into.
Reminiscent of an 80’s punk revival, color still remains popular, Color is and has always been EVERYTHING in the kid’s industry. For back-to-school], there are two distinctive color directions to look for—80’s punk/grunge (pink hues, acid yellow + greens, flaming orange) and heritage classics (rich crimson reds, grapey-purples, grass-greens) .
With throwback and classically cool appeal, raglans and ringers are a top choice for the education market. These varsity-inspired shirts also fit right in with collegiate markets or K-12 school districts, thanks to their mass appeal for all ages. Retro-cool fashions are also all the rage in retail, making raglans and ringers a sure shot for education sales success. Look for styles that are made with 100% cotton as these can be printed with almost any decoration method. Or, opt for breathable tri-blends for super soft comfort.
No student’s wardrobe would be complete without fleece. What was already an essential in spiritwear and leisurewear has only become more popular with the advent of the “quarantine uniform” (aka matching sweatsuits). We offer a wide assortment of fleece hoodies in both pullover and zip-up options. The best part? You can choose from many different colors to match school colors with ease without expensive color-matching fees. Pro tip: Consider using a different color for the inner lining and drawstrings to represent multiple school spirit colors on the same garment.
Speaking of fashion trends, be sure to check out the Tie-Dye collection from ColorTone. These pieces come in a gazillion different colorways popular with the K-12 kids and especially with the college market. Sororities, fraternities, sports teams and clubs appreciate the fashion-forward vibe and love rocking their school mascot or Greek Letters around campus.
