The world of apparel decoration is constantly changing. In order to stay relevant, you need to keep up with customer demand and have a good understanding of the trends that are popular. From runways to retail, we’ve been observing what’s happening in the fashion industry and what trends will be popular with apparel consumers in 2024.

Metallic

Metallic clothing, accessories, and embellishments have been popular in retail clothing and are sure to be a hit with your customers this year! Use FlexStyle® Emblems to add a metallic finish and premium value to logos or use special effect HTV like CAD-CUT® Soft Metallic to offer a cost-effective alternative and add shine to larger logos.
