There are a lot of things to consider when purchasing wholesale tops for your online or brick and mortar store. One of the main things you must keep in mind when purchasing clothes, especially wholesale tops, is the time of year. Season determines what is available for you to purchase as well as what you should be stocking in your store. So as the person responsible for buying wholesale tops, you have to be aware of more than just trends. You must keep the season in mind, and how you will transition between different seasons in mind as well!
Although there are still a few weeks left of summer, but retailers have already begun transitioning stock from lightweight, casual summer clothes to more sophisticated, dressy, professional styles that come with the fall season. This means that as a wholesale fashion buyer you have to start concentrating on finding wholesale tops that are lightweight and easy to layer. This way women will be able to come to your store to find pieces that they don’t have to wait until fall to wear because they are too heavy, hot, and off-season. Being ahead of the game and planning what you purchase and how your store will transition means that you will be a leader in style and customers will continually look to your store for their needs. This will build you new business and keep people coming back to your store again and again.
Sometimes it can be difficult to infuse the thrill of a new season into stores and still give shoppers pieces that they want to purchase and wear immediately. This is made hard because wearing traditional wholesale tops for fall can be a problem when the weather is still warm. What do you thing of when you think of fall clothing? Usually it’s heavy materials, long sleeves, long sweaters, and heavy jackets. These types of items are not exactly suited to the hot, long days of August. So it is important to pay attention to what wholesale tops you are purchasing right now. Look for pieces that are lighter weight, and can be layered with tanks, and lightweight tees. Also stock wholesale tops that can be useful for air conditioned offices and can be layered over another piece that can be worn after work. Also, Keeping the wholesale tops you purchase in a traditional autumn color palette will allow you to transition what you buy not into the full-fledged fall season.
