Polyester offers a silky look and is easy-care. Silk-satin comes in for the ultra high end market.</li><li>White is the big look here - but this trend easily translates into other colors - especially navy, burgundy, black and bronze.</li></ul><h3><strong>Market Opportunities</strong></h3><ul><li>This is the kind of investment garment that consumers are looking for. You can dress these blouses up or take them in a very casual direction.</li><li>Fabric quality is key here - people will pay a little more ("invest") in this kind of versatile garment, however they need to see that the garment is actually worth more. The fabric - handfeel especially - will be very important.</li></ul>
