Summary: From using natural and organic fibers to floral prints, a new sense of optimism, vibrancy, and romance set the vibe for yet another spring season of sensorial experiences and post-pandemic wellness. This spring has everything in the store in terms of breathable fabrics and fun prints for all those work from office days to vacations.

"Natural" is a major fabric trend for this year. Fabrics made from natural materials like cotton, linen, and wool are becoming more popular. This is because people are becoming more interested in sustainability and want to buy eco-friendly products. This trend is also being driven by the "slow fashion" movement.

As more manufacturers turn toward breathable, durable, and lightweight natural wholesale fabrics, linen and linen blends are being widely used in spring 2023 collections. Organic cotton and muslin, which is a variant of loosely woven cotton, are used for their fine texture. Cotton jersey due to their softness and stretch makes up for the demand for these evergreen fabrics.

Some key fabrics used for the spring collection are BCI and GOTS-certified cotton and Tencel blends, and GRS-certified recycled cotton. Weaves like twill, herringbone, and houndstooth are used to make clothing with a preppy vibe.

Denim domination

Denim domination

Double denim is having a moment this upcoming spring, and manufacturers are committed to using 100% cotton fabric with natural stretch qualities. Wholesale fabric mills are also expanding to the idea of using biodegradable elastane and recycled polyester for increasing the stretch of jeans fabric.They are also promoting fabrics made using single traceable fiber and other recyclable fibers to ensure circular fashion in full force. Jacquard denim with floral and damask-inspired weave patterns will also see traction as it allows brands to create custom fabrics.

Sustainable hybrids

With more focus on non-biodegradable fibers and sustainability, brands have used deadstock wholesale fabrics to create sustainable hybrids woven with recycled materials.

The athleisure and sportswear industry has taken the lead in utilizing upcycling jersey fabrics and recycled yarns with performance qualities intact. These fabrics are washed using the original yarn color for a softer feel without any other chemical treatment.

Party opulence

Party opulence

Consumers are looking to wear party opulence but with a lounge-wear feel in the post-pandemic period. High-octane sequinned fabrics take us to the '80s while lace & sheer see-through fabrics is another reason for consumers to try the Wednesday Addams' gothic trend or give the skin game a run for the money this spring.

Pleated chiffons, matte, shiny jacquard, dobby weaves, and crepe-backed satin are some of the key fabrics used. Sustainable alternatives like recycled polyester and lurex, FSC-certified viscose and Tencel are good options for designers to amp up the party game this season for consumers. Damask-style florals, crystal embellishments, lace and embroideries, and scarf prints echo the theme.

Regencycore

With the regencycore trend permeating the pop culture scene, glossy coating and metallic foils are on the radar for brands. Thanks to Y2K, denim has gotten a glow-up with velvet, tapestry-like jacquards, and lurex. The metallic corsets and crop tops are all on top of the trend meter for spring.
