Tops are the highest-volume category and the right starting point for almost any shop. The Airlume cotton athletic tee (Bear Grips, $19.88 VIP base) and the women's favorite tee (Bella+Canvas, $19.88) cover daily wear in a unisex and a fitted cut respectively. For sun coverage and shoulder-season wear, the men's moisture-wicking long sleeve (Sport-Tek, $29.88) and the long sleeve cotton shirt (Bella+Canvas, $29.88) round out the top category. See the t-shirt printing guide for design and print notes on this category.
Tanks run the widest style variety in the catalog: the performance workout tank (Bella+Canvas, $19.88), the ladies racerback tank (Next Level, $19.88), the women's flowy scoop muscle tank (Bella+Canvas, $25.88), and the women's premium triblend racerback tank (Next Level, $25.88). Different cuts fit differently, so stocking two or three tank styles rather than one covers more of a membership than a single style ever will. See the tank top design guide for a full breakdown.
The comfort soft hoodie (Bear Grips, $36.88) and the unisex Champion performance hoodie ($45.88) are the two most-stocked layers for cold-weather wear. The perfect soft crewneck sweatshirt (Bear Grips, $34.88) covers customers who prefer a hoodless layer for office or studio wear. See the hoodie design ideas guide for placement and design direction on this group.

Oversized shirts for plus size and oversized clothes for plus size come up often as searches, and there is a practical reason: a relaxed or oversized cut fits a wider range of bodies comfortably than a fitted cut does, which makes it a lower-risk first listing for a shop that has not yet tested demand. The Airlume cotton athletic tee and the Comfort Soft Hoodie both run a relaxed unisex fit that works well as a first oversized-style listing before a shop adds fitted women's cuts.
Check the size chart on the specific product page before you list it as your solution for plus-size customers, every time, even for products you have listed before. Size ranges are set by the blank manufacturer and can differ between two products that look similar in the catalog photos. Confirming the chart takes thirty seconds and avoids a promise you cannot keep to a customer. Start building your lineup at Bear Grips Pro Shops and check each product page as you go.
