BRIGHTS ARE BACK! Colors such as lime, orange, neon yellow and fuchsia are going to be the dominant color palette for 2008.
Expect to see these flashy shades in T-shirts, tank tops and girls’ fashion tops that will be glitzed up with metallic and glitter inks, rhinestones and studs.
While bright colors are leading the way in the fashion arena, earth tones are still holding ground in other markets — especially urban, hip-hop, environmental and military.
Chocolate, sand, asphalt, moss, military green and black have increased in popularity in the past year, and suppliers are adding a wider range for customers to choose from. Tone-on-tone printing and embroidery also are popular in this category.
Tip 1: Easy care for no wrinkles! Take the [bo] shirts out of the dryer before they are fully dry and hang them or lay them flat. Gravity and the heat from the dryer make the fabric look good, without wrinkles. This also prevents the fabric from becoming too brittle from too much heat. [Cotton starts to become more brittle when it is dry and has a temperature of more than 77°F (25°C).]
Tip 2: Keep fabric soft and absorbent! If you want to keep the softness and absorbancy of our t-shirts, do not use fabric softener. It puts a coating on the cotton that presses down the fibers and prevents them from absorbing moisture (i.e. sweat).
Tip 3: Keep fabric soft and irritant-free! When washing cotton knit fabrics, be careful about which detergent is used, how much is used, and complete rinsing. Some detergents have fragrance and chemicals that can be irritating to skin. If you use it, make sure that it gets completely rinsed out of the fabric. People with sensitive skin should use an appropriate biodegradable detergent that is non-irritating. If too much detergent is used, it is harsh to the fabric and it is hard to rinse out completely. The extra chemicals and soap cause the fabric to be less soft and more irritating.
Tip 4: Wash sweaty shirts immediately! When a shirt is wet, it starts to grow mold. The mold is damaging to the cotton fibers and can cause spots. Depending on the temperature, mold damage could start in 8 to 12 hours.
