Choosing the right blank starts with understanding who your customer is and what they value. The fabrics, colours and finishes you select should reflect your brand identity and align with the subculture or lifestyle you are designing for. Inkse’s streetwear, activewear and sleepwear collections are intentionally built to serve different audiences and aesthetics, helping creators choose pieces that speak directly to their market.

Think about the person wearing your product. Are they into gym culture, skate and streetwear, or comfort and self care. The more clearly you understand their lifestyle, the easier it is to choose fabrics, fits and finishes that feel authentic to them.
Focused on shape and structure with mid to heavy weight fabrics between 240 and 350 GSM. Ideal for oversized fits, layering and expressive print placements. Perfect for brands inspired by music, skate or fashion subcultures.
Built for performance using REPREVE technical fabrics between 220 and 260 GSM with stretch and recovery. Suitable for fitness, athleisure or wellness communities that value movement and function.
Designed for softness and ease using lightweight jersey, cotton or satin fabrics between 140 and 180 GSM. Best suited for slow living, luxury and comfort driven brands.
The feel of the fabric communicates as much as the logo. A structured French terry hoodie creates a different impression than a lightweight bamboo jersey top. Consider how texture, weight and drape support your brand tone.
Colour drives emotion and recognition.
Streetwear brands often choose washed blacks, neutrals and bold accent tones.
Activewear customers prefer energising brights or tonal palettes.
Sleepwear lines lean toward soft, muted colours or calming prints.
Use Inkse’s 3D design experience to review options before finalising your palette.
Finishes add character and value.
Puff print, flocking and embroidery work well for streetwear.
Reflective prints and heat seals suit performance styles.
For sleepwear, subtle embroidery or tonal prints enhance texture without overwhelming the garment.
Yes. Many creators blend pieces from multiple collections to create a unique identity. Inkse’s colour alignment and sizing make cross category styling easy. For example, lightweight ribbed singlets from the streetwear category pair well with pyjayma shorts or pants from the sleepwear category.
Start with your customer lifestyle and the way you want your brand to feel. Structured pieces pair well with tactile finishes such as embroidery, while softer fabrics suit flatter prints. Consider creating a moodboard to organise core themes, colours and textures. Free tools such as Canva and Pinterest are helpful during this creative phase.
Use subculture cues such as music, design and lifestyle references to define your creative direction.
Keep materials, tones and finishes cohesive so your brand feels considered across every piece.
