Spring Trends Unveiled: Numo's Chief Creative Officer Shares Top 5 Spring Trends for 2025
Take a peek...
Spring is springing, and at Numo, we believe it's the perfect time to refresh your brand's product strategy. We’re never about just slapping a logo on your product; we’re about crafting experiences, telling stories, and creating lasting impressions. This spring is no different! Take a peek into what our very own Chief Creative Officer, SP, (yes, the magical force behind our amazing booths, product lines, and more), has to say about the top trends shaping the spring season!
Top 5 Spring Trends You Need This Season
This spring, it’s about blending customization, personality, and a touch of whimsy to create products that truly resonate. SP’s take on the season is no less understated. “Spring is always a great time for newness, people are desperate for it, and that reflects into the promotional space. At Numo, we’re seeing five fun trends that we’re definitely excited to play into, and there’s no better time!”
1. Oversized Bags: The Ultimate Statement Piece.
It's all about practical meets chic. These bags are no longer just utilitarian; they’re a design statement. We’re talking about the emotional support bags to hold all our baggage. “Clients are looking for totes that can literally carry it all, including the brand's aesthetic,” said SP. “The focus is on materials, thoughtful details, modern designs and most importantly, scale! It’s about creating pieces that people can truly carry from the gym, to work, to the farmers market, and feel good about it while still being completely practical.”
2. Baseball Hats: Refined Athleisure.
They’ve been around forever, but they’ve certainly evolved. Today, it’s about elevating the cap with premium details and juxtaposition styling. “We’re talking comfort and functionality meets style. This can be through custom embroidery, unique patterns, and variations on the classic through color,” said SP. It’s about creating a cap that feels like a specialty retail item, not just a giveaway. Refined athleisure at its best!
3. Maximalism: Creativity through Design.
We might be taking a turn from the minimalist trend, and we’re here for it. “People are craving more. More bold colors, more pattern, more eclectic mix of items. They want something that feels special, memorable, and uniquely theirs,” expressed SP. This trend takes customization to a new level. With edge-to-edge 4CP printing capabilities, and all the details, the sky is truly the limit. “Self-expression through design is the name of the game here. Let’s just say, more is more, and pretty much anything goes!”
4. Customized Culture: Making it Your Own.
Personalization is one of our favorite topics! At Numo, we strive to make something feel completely unique to your brand. “We’re beyond dropping your logo on a mass distributed item and instead have focused on creating truly one of a kind items and also experiences. This means personalization over mass-produced uniformity…pen bars to create your own unique pen, or leather marbling and debossing, where no two items are the same,” said SP. We utilize details such as embroidery, color, or unexpected touches to make pieces distinctly yours. Plus, with custom packaging options, that adds another layer of customization; the recipient feels like they are getting something special, which is the customized culture way.
5. Color narratives: Color goes Beyond the Surface.
Lastly, we’re talking color narratives, colors that tell a story or evoke an emotion. We’ve seen a huge pull for this with individual color analysis and more. “Color can be a powerful tool for communication. It can make us feel all the feels without us even knowing,” explained SP. Color has often been used to create emotions in people, and now we’re seeing the benefits of it being able to play a twist on a brand’s story. This is about exploring unexpected color combinations, unique finishes, and custom-designed palettes that create a lasting and memorable impression.
The Bottom Line…
So class, let’s recap! This spring, the promotional product landscape is shifting towards experiences and personalization. It's not enough to simply slap a logo on an item. We are prioritizing design, quality, and thoughtful curation. Oversized totes, elevated caps, maximalist moments, customized items, and playful color narratives are the key trends to act on. This spring, opt for incorporating some of these strategies into your brands and watch them bloom. Ready to start trending? We can help!
