Best Use of Color
Winner: ComfortWash Garment-Dyed Tee (GHD200). Supplier: Hanes (asi/59528); haneslocator.com
Mint, like other light pastels, is hot right now. (Consider pairing it with Living Coral, Pantone’s 2019 color of the year, to create a pleasing color palette.) The new ComfortWash collection comes in a variety of vintage-inspired hues, including softened jewel tones and muted neutrals. “Garment-dyed apparel gives that perfect relaxed, lived-in look that consumers want,” says Rachel Newman of HanesBrands.
Best Feature: These garment-dyed shirts have a lived-in color that consumers want with the color consistency crucial for production printing.
