AWDis Style Guide

Whether you’re looking to pick up some essential styling tips or just want some inspiration for your next fit, we’ve got you covered. In this blog we’ll be exploring how to style your favourite AWDis pieces together, from trendy to timeless, no matter the occasion.

01 BASICS

First up, the JT019 Oversize 100 Long Sleeve T. This classic loose-fitting long sleeved tee is a staple for any wardrobe.  With a ribbed crewneck and cuffs, this piece is a classic – yet versatile enough to be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. The JT019 can be paired with your favourite jeans or joggers for a casual everyday vibe, or worn with an oversized blazer and tailored trousers for the ultimate office fit.

02 DENIM ESSENTIALS

The SD001 Leo Straight Jeans are your new go-to denims. The modern fit and soft-stretch make them a comfortable everyday essential, whether you’re running errands or grabbing lunch. We love pairing these jeans with an oversized T – try the JT009 in Desert Sand for an effortless everyday look. Take it a step further and add a zipped hoodie for a cooler, more sporty style – we love this combo with the JH050 in Bottle Green. Finally add some fashion trainers to complete the outfit.

03 LAYER UP

Comfort meets style in the new JC232 Active Recycled Baselayer – the sweat wicking properties will keep you dry and comfy no matter how intense your workout is. Versatility is key with the baselayer – simple and sleek on its own or layered up with other staple pieces for a more unique style. Wear the lightweight JC001 Cool T over the top for a trendy layered look that won’t weigh you down. Add the active trackpants and your go-to running trainers and you’re set! 

04 CLASSIC

Another staple piece is our JH030 sweat.  Super easy to throw on when you’re stuck for what to wear, this style has a range of 63 fashion colours – so the options really are endless! Pick your favourite colour, then add an accessory to really compliment the crew neckline – think a few layered necklaces or a chunky chain. Pair this casual crew with jeans for a more put together style or throw on a staple pair of cargos or joggers for the ultimate trendy vibe!

05 COMFORT

Our JH120 Signature Heavyweight Hoodie ensures maximum style with minimum effort. The oversized, boxy fit and premium heavyweight cotton rich fabric make this piece an everyday essential for those who favour both style and comfort. Choose from 5 classic colours and pair with your comfiest leggings or joggers for a laid-back look that still makes a statement.

Printing Techniques: College Fabric

Whether you are trying new print techniques, or mastering established ones, the fabric you choose will determine the quality of the finish, and the longevity of the designed garment.  

So, what exactly makes our fabric (used to create our iconic JH001) a cut above the rest? 

Our market leading AWDis College fabric has a 100% cotton face which gives it a smooth flat surface, ensuring an even spread of ink and the best quality prints. 

The percentage of polyester in the garment also helps to keep the garments shape, ensuring a long-lasting print – even with frequent washing!  

Let’s dive into Direct-to-Garment (DTG), Screen Printing, and Embroidery to understand how they work and why they are the standout players on our super-soft College Fabric.  

1. DTG (Direct-to-Garment Printing)

DTG printing is a revolution in the world of fabric customisation. It’s the perfect choice for those who crave intricate, colourful designs with unparalleled detail.  

DTG printing employs a specialised inkjet printer designed to print directly onto the fabric’s surface. This technique is best suited for cotton garments, ensuring the ink bonds well with the fabric, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting prints. 

Our smooth 100% cotton face means you can achieve highly detailed DTG prints including intricate and vibrant designs, making it a popular choice for college-themed garments. 

AWDis DTG Pro Tips 

  • Ensure pre-treatment ratios are correct to achieve bold and long-lasting prints. 
  • Always pre-press the garment before printing to reduce moisture and allow the cotton to best absorb the ink.
2. Screen Printing

Screen printing has been a classic choice for custom fabric designs, thanks to its longevity and cost-effectiveness. Screen printing involves creating a stencil (screen) for each colour in your design. Ink is then pressed through these screens onto the fabric, layer by layer, resulting in a crisp, well-defined image. 

Our 100% Ringspun Cotton face is smooth and tightly knitted, achieving even and bold prints without overloading the garment with ink. The vibrancy will remain even after countless washes, which is ideal for sportswear and casual attire. 

Plastisol inks are great for pantone matching and with a huge range of 87 colours, your imagination is your limit!  

AWDis Screen Printing Pro Tips 

  • Make sure you use an anti-migration layer on those brighter bolder colours. 
  • Avoid prints cracking by curing at the correct temperature and time – always test print and cure. 
3. Embroidery

Embroidery offers a classic and timeless approach to college fabric customisation, adding a touch of sophistication to your garments.  

Embroidery uses special sewing machines to stitch your design into the fabric. The result is a textured, high-quality image that can withstand frequent use and washing. 

Embroidery is the go-to for college crests, logos, or emblems, giving your fabric a refined and sophisticated appearance – our College Fabric was just made for it!  

AWDis Embroidery Pro Tips 

  • Ensure you use a stabiliser on the inside of the garment, behind your embroidery and make sure your needle is smooth and sharp to avoid snagging.  
  • Consider your artwork, as a large amount of embroidery could cause some puckering around the design. 

By now, you may be wondering which of these techniques is right for your college fabric printing needs. The answer depends on your design, budget, and desired level of detail. DTG printing is perfect for vibrant, intricate designs, while screen printing is great for bulk orders and long-lasting wear. Embroidery, on the other hand, adds an elegant touch to college merchandise. 

If you’re eager to create your own custom merchandise, we’ve got you covered. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve put together a comprehensive College Fabric print guide.
