With a special focus on wholesale jeans, sexy underwear and exercise apparel – drawn from fashion blogs, trade shows and other style watchers – here are wholesale buyer and seller tips from Top Ten Wholesale.

It’s equally fashionable this year to
(1) Inexpensively update a look by adding to your wardrobe . . . using what you already own; and

Shapewear and Under Garments
Keep curvy, clingy holiday dresses line-free and bulge-free . . .

Body Shapers – known generically and by brand names such as Spanks, Body Slimmers from Nancy Ganz and others, and Shaper Lingerie – body shapers help smooth bulges, bumps and panty or hosiery lines under those popular, glittery holiday dresses. Shapers also keep new-style “boxy” women’s dress pants bulge-free.
Some shapers come as low-cut torso trimmers . Some extend almost to the knee, as thigh shapers. And other body shaping lingerie covers trouble spots, such as stretchy slimming “girdles” or abdomen wraps.

Sports Bras – Exercising and athletic women may spend less on their outerwear of sweats and sweatpants, in order to invest in a good sports bra that will protect them during jogs, runs, Pilates and exercise workouts.
Fashionista advice to women is to Never Wear Sports Lingerie Under Street or Party Clothes. (The athletic lingerie is for restriction and low-stress exercise; but it does not produce a flattering figure under a slinky party dress!)
Women’s apparel retailers should consider pairing lower cost, off-price sweats (like from manufacturer closeout specialists R. G. Riley
