Alo Awarded Best Product Design

ASI's Counselor readers have cast their votes and selected Alo's womens lightweight jacket (W4005) as the best! What were they looking for? To put it in their words: "the best looking, most functional and classically designed products in the ad specialty industry." Looks like they found us!

Like all of the styles in the Alo line, the lightweight jacket was designed with functionality, style and fit in mind and is constructed from high quality performance fabrics. This style features CoolFit™ dry-wicking, Antimicrobial and StretchFlex™ technologies to keep the wearer comfortable and allow for freedom of movement. See all of Alo's men's and women's styles at www.alosport.com.

Over one thousand votes were cast, with Alo receiving the majority. Companies with products submitted include Charles River Apparel, Cutter & Buck, Dunbrooke and Rhode Royce Inc., among others. Read more about why the Alo jacket was the chosen winner (ASI password needed)

It's Tee Time

Organic tees, longer length styles and soft earth tones are highlighted in this informative "all-Tee" review by EMB's Rock Neely. Tee shirt trends have definitely seen their fair share of changes, but it seems that a few of the current ones might just be sticking around for a while. Organic garments, for example, have seen immense growth in the past few years, but industry insiders agree that while customers and manufacturers become more environmentally aware, the organic market will continue to flourish. Find out what tees you should definitely add to your collection by reading the article.

Women Want Women's Wear

We've known it for a while, but some were hesitant to admit the necessity for women's apparel in the wearables market. This month's Wearables Business issue is dedicated to women's wear of all types, from casual & sporty to business & uniform styles. Gabrielle Rhode's commentary in the issue puts it simply: Give women what they want and they'll buy it. What do women want?

"Retail styles, a great fit that flatters their figures, easy care, and fashionable colors!"

Lucky for us (and you!), Bella offers all of the above! "Now that suppliers are offering all of the above, it's time for distributors to awaken the sleeping giant – female buying power." Read the article.

Fashion Trends

Casual apparel and athletic wear have become so common in the workplace it's no wonder so many brands from retail to wholesale are building in these fashionably functional styles. Now, with so many variations on the basics, you can "dress up" almost anything and wear it into the workplace.

Some Bella favorites to try: The 1003 has an elegant, feminine neckline that pairs great with a nice pant or suit; the 8780 works great under a sweater or button down; and the 8705 is adorable with a floral Springtime skirt.
