As students and parents gear up for a new school year, stylish t-shirts are available at historically low prices.

Expenses around back-to-school shopping add up quickly with students keen to get their hands on popular fashions and new school supplies.

Savvy shoppers appreciate the value of saving money on bulk t-shirts, reserving most of their savings for big ticket items that will last for the duration of the school year.

Reports suggest that most households spend about $225 on back-to-school items – including clothing and supplies. The majority of that spending will take place before the first day of school.

This year’s fashion trends feature bold and brightly-coloured plain t-shirts being used to anchor classic-looking outfits.

This season, many of the celebrities popular among school-aged kids are anchoring their casual ensembles around single plain t-shirts and pairing them with louder jackets, sweaters and pants.

Plain t-shirts offer students an easy and affordable way to update their look and return to school feeling refreshed.

In addition, plain t-shirts ...
... guarantee comfort and durability.

Of the colours being snapped up by girls, aquatic blues, greens and violets are popular. Soft shades of peach and white paired with greens and browns are also fashionable.

Boys are favouring deeper shades of greens and blues while also gravitating toward bold, bright colours first popular in the 1990s.

The pressure to look good for the first day of school isn’t a burden that students carry alone. Reports suggest that mothers admit to feeling strongly that their children’s school year begin well; they perceive having a decent wardrobe as figuring strongly in a good start.

According to one study, 91% of mothers admit to spending more money on their child’s back-to-school wardrobe than on their own.

Despite good intentions around sticking to a budget, many mothers concede that during the fall season, they end up spending more on their children’s clothing than they intended.

With parents’ wallets being stretched for other items -- including in classroom school supplies and school transportation – buying bulk t-shirts helps them collect savings.

Mothers continue to pick up the tab for most of their kids’ expenses. Just over 10% of kids pay for their own back-to-school items.

With so much money being spent in such a short period of time, shoppers – parents and children alike – are choosing wisely and buying bulk t-shirts.
