Women's Wholesale Activewear

Women's Activewear at Wholesale: Leggings, Studio Wear and Dancewear

A women's activewear range is built around movement. Leggings and yoga pants anchor it, with capris and shorts for warm weather and warm studios, sports tops and jackets over them, and — because the same customers cross between the gym floor and the dance studio — dancewear and one-piece body suits at the edge of the range. Fabric does much of the selling: stretch synthetics that hold their shape, bright colour stories that change with the season, and cuts graded across a full size range. Body Activewear's listing is the clearest example on this page, a Miami range designed in Brazil around exactly those ideas.

The buyers differ from the men's trade, too. Alongside clothing stores, women's activewear is stocked by boutiques that mix fitness with fashion, by gyms and studios selling to their own members, and by dance retailers whose customers need practice wear every term. That is why several listings here are general women's wholesalers with a strong active line rather than pure sports suppliers: a boutique can take its activewear, dresses, jeans and sweaters from one Los Angeles distributor and keep a single account.

Specialists, Clearance Lines and Basics: Reading the Listings

Each listing gives the facts a buyer needs for a first approach: what the company sells, where it is based, and who to contact. The shapes of business vary. Specialists such as Body Activewear and Friedman's Activewear — the latter built on imprintable fleece, tees and sport shirts — sell depth in one category. Boulevard Apparel works the clearance end, passing branded and non-branded merchandise to retailers at a steep discount. Rosio manufactures wardrobe basics for women of all sizes, the comfortable staples an active range is merchandised alongside. Capacity, Inc. handles imported women's apparel and closeout inventory, and Target Resources manufactures and imports outerwear, sportswear and active lines, including private-label production for larger stores.

Before ordering, ask about the things a directory listing cannot show: minimum quantities, how size ranges are packed, whether samples are available, and how often new colours and styles arrive. Activewear sells on freshness as much as on fit, and the right wholesaler is the one whose delivery rhythm matches your shop's.
