Deliciously Dainty: Feminine-Forward Designs
Pink and bow themed apparel/accessories aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They've been lingering since spring, and have only seemed to gain momentum with the drop of trendier, summer-forward fashion product.
This summer trend is about embracing all things fun and girly. Simplicity is best. Stick to a few common details like bows (of course) cute fruits like cherries and classic graphics like hearts, stars or butterflies.
Freedom for expression is there, too. We love the idea of adding simple slogans, like, "self care, self love" or, "in my dainty era".

Go Bold With Your Design Statements
From dainty and cute, to big and bold. And who doesn’t love a good oversized graphic in their wardrobe rotation? They're the new staple in fashion and perfect summer design. They look best on bigger accessories like tote bags and oversized apparel in the form of tees and sweatshirts.
No limit on inspo, either. You can make general designs that are all about love, happiness and positivity (we could always use more of that). Or decide to niche down with it.
Whether your audience is full of gamers, artists or hikers, you can easy turn niche into profitable merch. Take iconic imagery and insider quotes or phrases and blow them up on custom products of your choosing.
