Good outerwear pieces can give your collection more depth, with layers that add structure and versatility. As part of our wholesale women’s clothing range, our outerwear is suited to boutiques and fashion labels building polished collections with plenty of room for seasonal variation.
- Tailored Blazers
Clean tailoring gives these blazers a polished shape, with notched lapels, a single-breasted front and flap pockets adding classic detail. The longer cut works well over camisoles, blouses and dresses, making it a practical layer for workwear and occasion collections
- Draped Cardigans
A softer option for everyday ranges, these cardigans feature a longline silhouette with an open front and fluid draping through the body. The fitted sleeves keep the shape neat, while the longer hem makes it an easy layering piece for both casual and more polished collections.
- Structured Vests
Sleeveless tailoring gives these vests a sharper direction, with a notched lapel, wrap-style front and button fastening creating a defined silhouette. They can be worn with matching separates or layered over lighter tops for a more polished look.
How to Build Collections With Women’s Outerwear
- Casual Everyday Ranges
Cardigans offer a softer option for casual collections, particularly when paired with denim, relaxed trousers or fitted tops. Their longer silhouettes also work well over dresses, giving customers another way to wear existing pieces as the weather changes.
- Workwear and Tailored Collections
Tailored blazers give workwear ranges a polished foundation, pairing naturally with trousers, pants and fitted skirts. For boutiques sourcing women’s outerwear wholesale, these structured layers work well over camisoles and blouses for polished weekday dressing.
- Layered Seasonal Looks
Lightweight outerwear can help boutiques build transitional collections without making the range feel too heavy. Layer cardigans or vests over women's tops or dresses, then shift towards tailored layers as temperatures drop.
How Our Production Process Works
1. Collection Direction and Design
We start by understanding your range, customers and how you want the outerwear pieces to fit into your collection. Our Melbourne team brings Australian-led design direction to the process, helping shape silhouettes and details suited to your collection.
2. Fabric Sourcing and Development
Once the direction is set, we source fabrics, trims and finishes suited to each garment. For wholesale women’s outerwear, fabric choices can include options suited to tailored blazers, softer cardigans, and structured vests, depending on the intended fit and finish.
3. Sampling and Fit Review
Sampling gives fashion labels and boutiques a chance to review the garment before production begins. We assess key details such as proportions, sleeve shape, neckline, fastening and overall construction, making adjustments where needed.
4. Production and Quality Checks
Approved styles then move into production with our trusted manufacturing partners in China. As a women’s outerwear manufacturer, Slide Show stays closely involved through production, with checks covering sizing, construction, fabric consistency and finishing before orders are prepared for delivery.
Sizing and Care Guide for Women’s Outerwear
When ordering women’s outerwear wholesale, having clear measurements makes it easier to guide customers towards the right fit.
Use the garment measurements alongside the fit and cut of each piece when advising customers.
- Blazers and vests with tailored cuts should fit comfortably through the shoulders without restricting movement.
- Longer outerwear styles allow more room through the body and work well over lighter layers.
- Cardigans with a more relaxed shape can offer extra room for layering.
- Check sleeve and garment length to help customers choose a fit that suits their height and preferred proportions.
Care Instructions for Outwear Pieces
Care requirements can vary between garments, so customers should always follow the care label provided with each piece. As a general guide:
- Follow the recommended washing instructions for the individual garment.
- Use a gentle wash setting where machine washing is permitted.
- Avoid high heat when washing, drying or ironing.
- Reshape garments gently after washing to help retain their original form.
- Check care labels before using a dryer, steamer or iron.
