If you’re looking for custom apparel that feels good, looks good, and can hold up to frequent use, you might be in store for athleisure wear. The clothing trend has been growing in popularity in recent years as people have caught on to just how versatile athleisure wear outfits can be. Plus, as we head into the New Year, you’ll probably find that your clients are looking for anything to help promote a healthy, active lifestyle so they can meet their resolutions – so you can’t go wrong with custom apparel made with fitness in mind.
Athleisure wear is a blend of athletic clothing and leisure apparel. Think, clothes you can exercise in and clothes you can lounge in. Our custom Athleisure Wear Collection includes both long-sleeve and short-sleeve t-shirts, polo shirts, and jackets. The best athleisure wear styles have performance features designed to keep you feeling comfortable while you move, so you can imagine just how comfortable these clothes are when you’re just hanging out. Typically, athleisure clothing is made with moisture-wicking fabrics that move perspiration away from the skin to keep you dry, or features vents for added airflow.
While athleisure wear lends itself to any brand, it’s especially ideal for companies in the fitness or wellness space. And if your brand is hosting a sporting event or field day any time soon, you can instantly pep up your employees with custom athleisure wear t-shirts.
There’s a lot to consider when shopping for custom athleisure wear – and we’re not just talking about performance features or style choices. The brand you pick can make an impact on the quality of your athleisure clothing, as many of these brands offer unique fabrics, cuts, and technical features that play a role in the fit and feel of your athleisure wear outfits.
These are some of the most popular athleisure wear brands:
Just like with any type of promotional apparel, the most important element of custom athleisure wear is your logo. You’re picking these styles to show off your brand, so you want to make sure that it does exactly that. Keep in mind what you’re using the athleisure style for. If you’re looking for comfortable clothing to lounge or travel in, any print method will do the trick. On the other hand, if you think your custom athleisure wear will be worn when hitting the gym or out jogging, you’ll want to pick a print method that can withstand a challenge.
Our top choices for durable imprint methods are embroidery and heat transfer printing. Embroidery uses a sewn thread to apply your logo to a garment, which results in a long-lasting, premium quality design with a slightly raised effect. This imprint method is exceptionally durable. Heat transfer printing is another great choice because the final design looks sharp and colorful, down to the small details. This print method allows your logo to remain highly visible – even when the garment it’s printed on is on the move.
