Cracking The Spring Color Code: Wholesale Hats Color Guide

By: Melody D Posted on: Mar 15, 2024
Curating a spring collection is not as easy as it sounds. The bleak chill of winter is about to be replaced by the vibrant hues of spring. With the warmer seasons just around the corner, it's time to get the muted tones out and bring the lively colors in, capturing the essence of spring. 
You have a lot of options to elevate your custom hat offerings throughout the season. In this blog post, we'll crack the code on the hottest spring hat colors - from soft pastels to earthy tones, and provide insights to help your retail business bloom.

Soft Pastels

Nothing says "spring" quite like a soft, romantic pastel hue. These shades evoke a sense of renewal, nobility, and femininity, making them a fine choice to consider for spring. 
Soft pastels in lilac, orchid, and dusty blue offer a calming, serene color palette, perfect for a gentle, soothing look

Pastel colors can include:

  • Lilac - A dreamy shade of purple that exudes elegance and sophistication. You can also go for deep purple or indigo.
  • Orchid - A beautiful, delicate pink-purple hue and a true spring staple.
  • Dusty Blue - A calming blue that pairs beautifully with neutrals and earthy tones.
These shades are ideal for sun hats and classic fedoras. But they were seen on many baseball caps last year too, offering a refreshing twist.

Earthy and Grounding Tones

What is spring without earthy colors? They are how you make your hat collection look fantastic after all. They look rich enough to evoke a sense of connection to nature which is what many consumers expect from their spring attire. So if you are offering accessories that will look great outdoors, include earthy-colored hats. We recommend going for 5-panel trucker hats like the OTTO 39-165 Olive Green variant if you intend to customize them. 
Earthy tones like dark lavender, beige, tan, and heather create a grounded, natural look, evoking warmth and tranquility

Here are a few other alternatives.

  • Dark Lavender - A deep, moody shade of purple that exudes sophistication and depth.
  • Beige or Tan - Creamy off-white or very light brown colors that pair beautifully with attire in earthy tones and neutrals.
  • Heather - A lovely, subdued shade of purple or gray. Your caps will look elegant. Our bestselling OTTO 135-1230 superior cotton twill cap comes in just the right heather colors. 
Earthy tones work beautifully for bucket hats, baseball caps, and trucker caps, and can bring a rugged charm to any spring outing.

Vibrant Brights

Spring symbolizes energy and rejuvenation. And bright colors capture just that. Not just any bright color though. We recommend bold, saturated colors that can add personality to both the hats and the outfits they complement. 
Vibrant brights in medium brown, green, jade, thyme, tan, and light blue add energy and freshness to any style or design
The following shades may be worth considering if you are planning to purchase wholesale blank hats soon. 

  • Light Blue - A fresh, cheerful blue that evokes clear skies and a sense of optimism. The super affordable OTTO 18-086 garment-washed unstructured pro-style cap comes in just the right blue for spring. 
  • Thyme, Neon Green & Jade - Vibrant green that speaks rejuvenation. For customization, the Khaki/Dark Green OTTO 31-069 is a great pick with its seamless front panel.
  • Medium Brown - A warm brown that radiates zest for life. 
These hues make baseball caps, bucket hats, and trendy visors more appealing this spring.

Our Top-Selling Spring Colors

While retail shoppers generally have specific color preferences during spring, wholesale buyers still seem to invest in a few all-time popular colors. We believe these colors proved to aesthetically offer the perfect canvas for custom designs. 

Our bestselling spring shades include:

  • The Neon Blue - White 39-165 Trucker: A bold shade of blue front panel with a white mesh back and a canvas perfect for embroidered logos.
  • The Yellow-Black 125-978 Flat Visor: A remarkable combination of a yellow flat visor complementing a black crown, and a yellow snap closure at the back. It stands out with a touch of sunshine to any spring outfit.

There are many more gems to find in our collection, including the Heathered Orange 128-1072 Linen Fedora and rustic neutral color combinations of classic baseball caps and performance headwear. 

Remember to strike a balance between bold and understated to keep the season’s vibrance on your Spring headwear collections. Selectively picking soft pastels, earthy tones, brights, and neutrals, you can impress various segments of customers. Your choice of wholesale hats can influence whether you will be able to stay ahead of the curve.

The wrong colors can break your brand. So stay informed about the newest trends in colors. Keep an eye on forecasts, influencer styles, and industry reports to discover which colors connect well with your target market.

Additionally, we recommend placing equal importance on factors like material and style when selecting blank hats to buy in bulk. Your choices here can make your custom hats visually striking and cater to a variety of preferences and occasions.

Now be on your way to creating a spring hat collection that not only captivates your customers but also positions your brand as a trendsetter.
