With Winter fast retreating and Spring just around the corner (at least in some parts of the northern hemisphere, sorry if you're still snowed in), it's time to think about what outdoor clothing your customers will be buying in Spring 2024, and what outdoor clothing manufacturer will be supplying you. Right now, people are beginning to venture outside more, and as many of them plan their Spring hiking and camping trips they will also be looking to refresh their wardrobes.

In this article, we look at how you can take advantage of their rekindled enthusiasm for the great outdoors with some of the Spring outdoor fashion trends that will be influencing what they buy.

 

As an outdoor clothing wholesaler, one thing we have noticed is that concern for the climate is still high on the agenda for many consumers across different retail sectors, not least fashion. The industry has gained a reputation for being too disposable, so it can really help to be able to show buyers that the companies in your supply chain embrace ethical manufacturing practices.

One of the benefits of partnering with an outdoor clothing manufacturer like Lotogarment is the fact that you can point them towards our certificates.

Lotogarment has been certified with the Global Recycled Standard since 2004 and with the Recycled Down Standard since 2004. 40% of our products are made from recycled fabrics and trims, and we can provide tracking certificates for all of them, so you can be sure that we only cooperate with other outdoor clothing companies that also work to high ethical standards.

As you browse through our current range of outerwear, you will see that some product descriptions include the option to have them made from recycled materials. If that's what you want, just ask!

Lightweight and packable clothing items are becoming more popular and it's easy to see why. People value convenience more than ever, which is why and outdoor clothing manufacturer like Lotogarment is always coming up with new lightweight designs. For example, we now offer this lightweight women's jacket.

It's made from 100% recycled polyester, so it ticks the box for sustainability, as well as for style and practicality. The waterproofing has been tested to 8000mm and it can even manage 10,000 mm, which means that it can repel heavy rain without breaking a sweat. The fabric is breathable too (it's rated to 3000mm), so the person wearing it can break a sweat without getting clammy.

With an elasticated hood and stud-adjusted sleeve-end, it's the kind of pretty but practical jacket that image-conscious walkers will appreciate, and it doesn't take up much room in a backpack when it's folded away.

For this Spring, many premium brands are designing clothing that allows freedom of movement, breathability, and versatility. We anticipated this trend by creating comfortable pants and jackets that allow hikers to climb over obstacles and walk across uneven terrain without restriction or discomfort.

For instance, we designed these mountaineering pants to have a slim, tapered, athletic fit for maximum versatility and minimum restriction.

They are made from more than 90% polyamide for lightweight strength, and around 7% elastane. This gives the pants their stretchiness for ease of movement, and as they don't have a lining, they will suit warmer weather excursions into the hills without causing the wearer to overheat. The lack of an inner seam also means that they are smooth against the skin.

Spring may come with a fanfare of colors, but Spring fashion doesn't have to compete. This trend moves away from the high-visibility, performance-focused styles of the past in favor of a more understated, versatile aesthetic. It's a response to the rise of "gorpcore," where extreme sports influenced everyday fashions. Instead, this look signals a renewed focus on healthier, more nature-oriented lifestyles, with understated aesthetics, muted colors, and minimalist designs. Some fashion commentators see this as a desire to step away from the sometimes-garish colors and attention-grabbing designs you see with winter sports gear.

This is what we had in mind when we created this Ladies Windbreaker. It brings all the comfort and protection that your customers would expect from a 100% polyester softshell coat. It's waterproof enough to keep them dry in challenging conditions – like 8000mm of rain in 24 hours – but it still has the breathability to allow perspiration to pass through the shell, keeping the wearer comfortable and cool.

As you can see, the color and styling of this jacket can turn heads without shouting.

With many economies around the world facing uncertainty, customers are looking for a mixture of style, quality, and value. That's why Lotogarment is an outdoor clothing wholesaler that produces quality garments that perform well in a variety of outdoor conditions, but we don't charge designer prices. With 20 years (and counting) of manufacturing experience, we know what it takes to keep the trust of our international clients: hiring expert designers and fabricators, exercising rigid quality control, and shipping worldwide on time at competitive prices. Our values place you the customer first.

This women's waterproof parka is one of our great value products. It features a technical look, shoulder patch, contrasting coloured zipper at the front, diagonal chest pocket, and waterproof fabric, and it shields the wearer from rain and gusting winds.

It's made from sturdy 100% ripstop polyester, is waterproof to 8000mm and achieves a breathability of 3000mm.

The fixed hood comes has a rain shield and a special elasticated drawstring to shut out the elements.

As a quality outdoor clothing wholesaler we can offer it in European sizes (36-52) each piece is shipped in a polybag with 20 to a carton (60x40cmx40cm). Minimum order is 500 items per colour. We offer up to 3 free development samples, and bulk delivery within 30-120 days.

Lotogarment products have been so popular that we had to open a new factory this year! With so much demand, we wouldn't want you to miss out.
