If you’re a clothing manufacturer who’s been following the news from the Paris, New York, Milan and London fashion houses, you’re probably excited to ship some very colorful and bold things to shops around the nation. One thing we’ve noticed is that everything this year will need to stretch: from boldly-patterned stretch leggings that encase even the shoes to sporty, stretchy fashions that go from the gym to 5th Avenue. Here’s why you need to stock up on spools of sewing elastic now:

Bare Shoulders—This year, we continue a trend that started last year for at least one, if not two shoulders out in the sun. Clearly, this type of fashion statement demands secure, stretchy sewing elastic to hold it in place. Think broad, bold stripes and loud, pink and fuchsia florals. Even bright blue and green iridescent shine is hot for spring. The colors are all bright like candy this season.

Bold Leggings—What started out as a practical fashion item last year is exploding this spring in more colors and lengths than ever. The total one-color-cover of leggings from hip all the way down over the shoes is an exciting new style that clearly requires stretch in all the right places with lots of apparel elastic.

Romantic Florals and Exciting Stripes—Get ready for bright and bold in all shapes and sizes this spring, but be particularly ready to go with stripes and florals. Several fashion houses are still in love with the bright boho patchwork look, in everything from elegant gowns to flouncy skirts of all lengths. Shirt and sheath dresses with extremely bold stripes are definitely in style this season too. Regardless of what type of apparel you’re producing, bulk apparel elastic is going to come in handy.
