Oleksik predicts that fabrics, design details and cut lines will continue to evolve. "The wholesale market is becoming more competitive and it's important to offer unique styles that give customers a
reason to buy," she says.
Cumberledge thinks trendy colors will extend into 2020. "Before,
the market was very primary, with very light blues, bright pinks and
light yellows; now, it is important to make sure you have the current
colors, and I see that continuing," she says.
Gupta pointed to already-trendy styles with vibrant colors, gentle
flares, soft back tails, light ruffles and raglan sleeves, as well as the
introduction of blended fabrics, continuing to evolve in 2020.
"The advances in sublimation printing, and enhancement in the
polyester fabrics and design, have encouraged printers to design and
print for youth compared to previous years." 
