Buyer's Guide: Casual Shirts
Casual shirts are a volume driver. Here’s how to source them effectively:
- Design Trends: Keep an eye on seasonal patterns—leopard and floral are perennial favorites. Choose prints that have broad appeal to maximize sales.
- Fit & Sizing: Slim fits are popular, but offer regular fit as an option. Provide clear size charts and consider offering sizes up to XXL.
- Fabric Quality: For casual wear, cotton or cotton-linen blends offer breathability. Check for shrinkage by washing a sample.
- MOQ Flexibility: With MOQs as low as 30, you can test new designs without heavy investment. Plan to reorder bestsellers quickly.
- Price Point: At $25-$28, these shirts allow for healthy margins. Compare with competitors to ensure you're competitive.
Request samples to assess print quality and stitching. Confirm the supplier's return policy for defective items.
