Countdown to New Year's With Next Level Apparel Collections

A new year is right around the corner and premium apparel blanks supplier Next Level Apparel (asi/73867) is ready to celebrate. There’s no better way to complement your party hats and sparkly tiaras than NLA’s bestselling apparel collections … but which one will you choose for your night out on the town? We’ve got you covered with our countdown of what makes each NLA collection just the thing to ring in a new sales year with, plus how each one will set you up for success in 2023. Let the celebration begin!

Bundle Up in Beach Fleece Before Heading Out

Buttery soft and stylish to boot, NLA’s Beach Fleece collection pieces are the perfect garments to communicate a comfy, cozy and casual chic vibe. Inspired by the laid-back lifestyle of California, these pieces make end-users feel like they’re being wrapped up in a hug, which is sure to evoke positive sentiments for your client’s brand. Best of all, there are three subcategories of Beach Fleece to choose from, each with their own unique fabric blend and features so you can tailor your sales presentations to your clients’ specific needs.

  • Santa Cruz: Made with an 80% cotton/20% polyester blend and featuring a 100% cotton face, Santa Cruz styles provide a premium decorating surface with exceptional results. End-users will also love the cozy brushed fleece backing that feels super snuggly when worn and the heavier 30 single 250g/7.4 oz. weight. Pro Tip: We’re loving NLA’s newest Santa Cruz colorways of Antique Denim, Galaxy Purple, Oxblood and Shiitake – be sure to present these shades for clients looking for the trendiest colors for their cozy pieces.
  • Malibu: This Beach Fleece collection features a 60% cotton/40% polyester blend and a 30 single 250g/7.4 oz weight, making it the perfect midweight layer for any temperature (AKA the party inside or the chilly trek to get there!). This fabric is also the ideal weight for embroidery embellishments: a show-stopping decoration method that many clients will want to invest in in the new year.
  • Laguna: If clients come looking for lightweight layers, they’ll love Laguna’s 60% combed ring-spun cotton/40% polyester blend as well as its 30 single 1890g/5.3 oz weight. Highlight the French terry component which keeps these garments feeling silky soft without getting too bulky – after all, you don’t want to ruin your NYE ‘fit!
