Emerging design trends to try
We are seeing some exciting new design trends emerge throughout the Boosted Network this year. While buyers still love classic Christmas themes, we’re seeing a growing demand for new ‘Carnival Christmas’ themed designs. Get inspired by our mood boards below.
Classic Christmas design themes
Christmas sweaters (sweatshirts) are a top-selling item every year. The most popular ugly sweater designs incorporate an element of humor. In seasons past we’ve seen ‘ugly sweaters’ featuring social media memes, jobs, pets, hobbies, pop culture references, and funny slogans top sales charts. Check out our free sweater templates below to help you get started.
Keep in mind National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day (US) and Christmas Jumper Day (UK) are coming up fast! Learn about these special days and other upcoming events here. Expand your buyer’s shopping carts by applying your design themes to a variety of products like sweatshirts, t-shirts, long-sleeve tees, mugs, socks, pillows, leggings, etc. Also, try adding a “knitted” or “stitching” effect to your designs to achieve the traditional knit sweater look.
