Apparel & Accessories Trending Products to Sell

---

The first group of best-selling products we will explore all fall under the apparel and accessories niche – the leading eCommerce industry.  

Bodycon Dresses 

The term ‘bodycon’ comes from ‘body conscious,’ a term given to tight-fitting styles of clothing. Bodycon dresses are therefore figure-hugging dresses, which shot to fame in 2013 thanks to celebrities like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. 

Usually made from fabrics such as Spandex and Lycra, they cling to the body, designed to emphasize the wearer’s body contours and come in a variety of styles, patterns and colors. Since shooting to fame, they have been a steady best-selling product in the women’s apparel niche and have become a popular category in online clothing stores. 

Here are the global regions where bodycon dresses are the most popular, with the top locations being the UK and US:

Cardigans 

Cardigans are a great example of a constant best-selling product to add to your store for next year. As you can see from the graph below, their popularity has been constantly growing since 2008 and will continue to grow through to 2022: 

With so much variety in the types of fabric – thin or thick, styles, colors and patterns – they have selling potential all year round. 

Cardigans can be particularly sale-boosting if you’re selling globally, to regions that have opposite seasons. Here are the global regions where best-selling cardigan products are most popular: 

Crop Tops

From celebrities on the red carpet to kids at the mall, crop tops are everywhere and given their style versatility, it is no surprise why. After five years of trending, this best-selling product shows no sign of slowing down and if you’re not on the crop top bandwagon, there is still plenty of time! 

Bear in mind that like with all hugely popular products, the market is highly saturated.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t throw your hat in the ring – but you want to focus on a way to make your products shine amongst the niche noise and be sure you are focusing on the right global regions when targeting your awareness campaigns with: 

1. Google Ads for eCommerce
2. Facebook Ads for eCommerce
3. TikTok Ads for eCommerce
4. Microsoft Ads for eCommerce
5. Pinterest Ads for eCommerce

Denim 

Denim is no stranger to our best-selling and trending product lists. In fact, when it comes to all-season wear, you can’t go wrong with denim apparel; and if you look at the search trends below, you will see that its popularity is still growing year-on-year:  

Here’s a list of the most searched, AKA trending, denim products currently:

The trick to keeping denim products popular in your store is ensuring that you’re also up-to-date with the season’s trending styles. 

In 2020 and 2021 we saw the comeback of best-selling straight cut, bootcut, skinny fit, slouch skinny, low rise, baggy wide leg, and paper bag waist jeans.

You will also want to keep an eye on viral denim trends such as: 

• Low-slung straight
• Ribbon
• Hem details 
• Pintucks
• Embroidered denim
• Longer high-rise, straight-leg denim

As you can expect, denim is a popular product in most global regions, with the US, UK, Australia and South Africa leading the pack. 

Enamel Pins 

Another best-selling product that has sustained its popularity this year is enamel pins. These trendy apparel accessories are a high-selling category across many popular eCommerce platforms and websites, including Etsy. 

As you can see from Google’s trend graph and region map, the last couple of years have proven that enamel pins’ popularity isn’t slowing down just yet – especially in the US:

Newbie Tip: Here are four steps from Shopify for successfully making and selling enamel pins:

 1: Research and pick a popular enamel pin niche with potential 

2:  Design or source your enamel pin designs

3: Manufacture your enamel pins 

4: Build your online store and get selling! 

Floral Dresses

Summer may be coming to an end in the US, but the floral trends aren’t. Remember, as a global eCommerce entrepreneur, summer in Australia, South Africa and more is just getting started. 

And if you think that floral is just for summer, think again. Consistently trending, this classic women’s apparel pattern is popular in a variety of regions all year round.

In fact, floral dresses often make top fall lists with floral midi dresses trending well. As you can see from the below graph, midi dresses are hot, hot, hot! 

Gingham Products

Selling or planning to sell in North America, the UK, South Africa, Australia or New Zealand? Then you may want to consider trending gingham products.  

If you aren’t familiar with gingham, it’s a plain-woven fabric of medium weight that is made from carded, medium or fine yarns and has a checked pattern. As you can see, gingham products have been steadily popular and make it a niche with big potential to break into. 

Popular in both men’s and women’s apparel niches, there is a variety of options you could go with. If you want to start a new clothing store that’s extremely niche, why not a gingham product store? Here are some product examples from Nordstrom: 

Lace Bras 

Another constant, best-selling product to sell online is lace bras. After going viral and then falling, they have climbed since 2008 to become a stable, product trend. 

Although their popularly seems to be highly concentrated in North America and Australia, you only have to look at the success of Shopify stores such as Brayola or underbares to see the enormous potential. 

Leggings 

Another best-selling product to consider selling is leggings. It should be no surprise that online legging stores are hugely popular at the moment, with top stores generating millions in revenue annually.

As you can see, leggings’ popularity extends into many global regions: 

There is a wide variety of legging types in various niches you could sell in, including athleisure, sports apparel, yoga leggings and legging fashion brands. Some popular examples and searches include: 

• Yoga leggings
• Black leggings 
• Pushup leggings (in the US)
• Fleece leggings 

But there is one type that really deserves its own mention… 

Trending Product: Leggings with Pockets 

Pocketed leggings are so hot right now!

From yoga pants with pockets to athleisure wear, these trending apparel products have become best-selling superstars and a popular fashion blog topic. 

From discrete inner pockets to two thigh pockets, there is no shortage of products to try. 

Men’s Shoes 

In our  list of best-selling product to sell, we pointed to the growing trend of men’s shoes. If you thought their popularity had faded, think again! Don’t take our word for it – look at Google’s search trends and most popular areas: 

Here are some top eCommerce brands that have made a name for themselves in the men’s shoe niche: 

• Leffot
• Gravity Pope
• Mr. Porter
• Kith

Mesh Shoes

Another best-selling product to consider selling on your apparel store this year are mesh shoes. Mesh shoes have a wide variety of options in terms of gender, brand, style, and types, meaning for you, there are more ways to implement this trend into your product list. There are even options for kids!

Currently, mesh shoes are trending in North America, the UK, Australia, South Africa and Brazil.

Novelty Socks

If you are selling or planning on selling in Australia, the UK or North America, then novelty socks are a best-selling apparel product worth looking into.

Although novelty socks enjoy seasonal popularity in the fourth quarter, their trend peaks have been constantly growing since 2014.

Additionally, if you study trends of similar searches, like ‘fun socks,’ you will see that trends are starting to peak off-season as well. You only have to look at the success of brands like Conscious Step and Happy Socks to see this best-selling product’s potential. 

Ruffle Socks

Another best-selling sock to consider selling is trending ruffle socks. Ruffle socks come in a variety of styles and colors and have been climbing steadily since 2013, with a bigger bump in 2021. 

Although a word of warning to eCommerce sellers tempted to add this trending product to their store: it seems most of the keen interest in ruffle socks is in the US and UK. Therefore, you want to ensure this trending fashion apparel accessory is very in line with your target audience. 

Safety Shoes 

As the eCommerce industry grows, so does the variety of products people prefer to buy online instead of in-store. One such product niche is footwear, which is said to be generating $109+ million a year in revenue. One category within footwear that is increasing gradually is safety shoes. 

This best-selling product may not be the sexiest product, but its consistent growth shows big selling potential. Plus, its popularity – and need – has a global reach. 

But like most trending products, popularity won’t matter unless this type of product fits into your current target market or a new niche market you wish to break into. 

Shapewear

Making our best-selling product list last year, shapewear is back! As one of our top merchants, Waist Trainer, will tell you, shapewear is still a trending product that is selling online like hotcakes and is estimated to be a $2.26 billion industry. 

As you can see from the graph above, online shoppers have been showing constant, increasing interest in shapewear since 2018 and it has a global popularity reach. 

Sports Bras 

The next big climber to consider adding to your apparel store is sports bras. This best-selling product has been growing in online popularity alongside leggings thanks to growing yoga trends. 

The sports bra market is expected to grow at a rate of roughly 10.8% over the coming years. In fact, paired sports bras and leggings can be a sale-driving match if done correctly and marketed to these trending regions:

If that’s not convincing enough, many publications including the New York Times reported that sports bras are replacing lingerie, with some of the biggest lingerie brands such as Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein jumping on the comfort bra bandwagon.

Tank Tops 

Tank tops are another summer trender worth selling; even better if you’re selling globally to different hemispheres – turning it into a year-round winner. 

This goes for men’s and women’s apparel and falls comfortably into the popular athleisure niche – which we will discuss next. 

Athleisure 

Athleisure wear is leggings, sports bras, tank tops, shorts, tights, yoga pants and more that look like exercise wear. This niche of apparel has become more and more trendy in the last five years, but don’t be put off by the moderate trend spikes. You want to add products to your store that are constant good-sellers, not trends that go as quickly as they come. 

The point is, if you are looking for a stable best-seller with global popularity, athleisure could just be the right niche to add to your store. 

Looking for some inspiration? Here are some of the top athleisure brands: 

• Girlfriend Collective
• Vuori
• ADAY

Baby Apparel, Gear & Accessories Trending Products to Sell

---

The next group of best-sellers worth adding to your store to boost sales fall under the baby apparel and gear niche. 

Baby Carriers 

Baby carriers are getting more and more popular every year. For the last five years, they have been a constant best-selling product in the baby gear niche. You can still see trending blog posts on publications like Wired and Today that help new parents choose the right carrier for them. 

Baby carriers have become a popular choice for parents, which parents say have a host of benefits such as easier transport and better bonding. If you’re looking to expand your online store to include baby gear, then baby carriers could be a lucrative place to start. 

Let’s not forget to mention that their popularity is global! 

Baby Hip Seat 

After their initial viral spike in 2004, followed by a slow plateau, baby hip seats are making a trending product comeback! 

A hip seat is a type of baby carrier that is designed for shorter periods of time and intended to make carrying babies around the house easier. The idea is to be able to seat a baby on the seat instead of in your arms, to help reduce back strain.

Baby Wrap Blankets 

Baby wrap blankets, or swaddle wraps, are another new parent staple that could prove to be a profitable addition to your online store. 

Most popular in the US, UK and Australia, this trending product is both practical and cute – offering a lot of potential when it comes to product photography. 

A spin-off product package you could look into selling here is wrap blanket and hat combos, as you can see from MilkMaid Goods’ swaddle section.

Breastfeeding Pumps 

Whether you’re selling in the baby products or maternity gear niches, breastfeeding pumps could be just the best-selling product to add to your store. 

With their globally increasing need and trends, there are stores that specialize in breastfeeding products alone, and they are a hot topic on many mommy blogs such as Mother.ly. 

Here’s an example breastfeeding products store, Aeroflow.

1. Build connections with potential shoppers and customers that are meaningful and human 
2. Start with product functionality  
3. Align yourself with other brands that are like-minded 
4. Keep your long-tail keywords super specific 
5. Don’t forget about millennial dads 

Convertible Strollers

Another best-selling product that has been very dependable over the last five years is convertible strollers. These are strollers you are able to convert to suit different stages of a baby’s needs as they grow, or that you can switch from a single stroller into a stroller/ride for two. 

Although, as you can see from Google’s region map, its popularity is concentrated in North America. Therefore if you’re looking for products to sell outside of this region, we recommend proceeding very slowly – testing your specific market first.

Sippy Cups

Sippy cups have become a hot eCommerce commodity, growing steadily after two viral jumps in 2008 and 2015. They have become a good consistent seller for a baby accessory store.

From no-spill super stout to straw and trainer cups, potential types, styles, and designs are endless. And, as you can see from the map below, sippy cup product popularity extends through multiple global regions:

Beauty, Hygiene & Personal Grooming Trending Products

The next group of best-selling products you could add to your store fall under the beauty, hygiene and personal grooming eCommerce niches. 

Beard Oil 

If you are a regular StoreYa blog reader, you will already be aware of the growing popularity of male grooming products. If not, let the fact that the whole male grooming industry in the US is estimated to reach $3.37 billion by next year should convince you.

If you do want to break into the beard oil niche, here are some of the top tips that Northwest Beard Supply’s owner recommends, which he has learned since launching: 

1. Thoroughly research your target market and customer goals. This includes studying your competitors and getting a deep understanding of the niche you will be selling in, so that you can offer differentiation. 
2. Test your idea before you invest in a huge way, to ensure you can correct your course if needed. 
3. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Instead, establish ways you can communicate to your customers what the benefits of your products are. 
4. Don’t skimp on your branding strategy and invest time into getting your positioning right. 
5. Be sure to focus on just one goal at a time so that you can successfully scale your beard oil business.
6. Don’t put all your advertising eggs in one basket! Take the time to set up your Facebook ads correctly and make sure they work with your Google ads, to ensure good ROIs across both platforms.  

Beard Straightener

Another male grooming product that is a huge trend globally right now is beard straighteners. If you don’t know what a beard straightener is, this YouTube video will help. 

In short, it’s a heated brush designed to take the waves out of longer beards, similar to how a hair straightening brush would work, to give a sleeker look. As you can see by the map trends below, beard straighteners are very hot right now in the US and Australia.

Drying Lotion 

Since piquing viral interest in 2016, best-selling product drying lotion has enjoyed steady interest that has been slowly climbing. If you are not sure what drying lotion is, it is a spot treatment that consumers put on acne, leave overnight and then rinse off in the morning. 

Sold by a variety of beauty brands, drying lotions have been trending since 2016 in a variety of regions globally and are gaining good momentum.

Vegan Makeup

Especially in the UK, North America, and Australia.
