Back To School Styles & Trends – Individuality and freedom to wear what you want are prominent in back to school styles this year! We are seeing a lot of the same wardrobe staples, like denim and graphic tees, but with some influence from the 80s and 90s with a little bit of hipster-grudge and a dash of punk!

Kids – Bold Colors & Graphics

  • Looks from Peek by Nordstrom
  • Peyton is wearing a lively floral print cotton skirt with a graphic tee in coordinated colors, topped with an olive lightweight cotton jacket with utilitarian appeal and a color-pop heart on the sleeve. She is also wearing a Steve Madden military-inspired leather boot that is a perfect look for fall.
  • Owen is wearing blue camo chinos again with some military-inspired style, along with a colorful throwback tee and dark-washed denim jacket, which is a great style for fall. He also has some handsome little chocolate leather chukka boots from Tucker & Tate
  • Peyton and Owen are both carrying tin totes perfectly sized for storing supplies or snacks!
  • OTHER TRENDS – Ruffles and bright leggings for the girls, and plaid and cardigans for the boys.

Teens – Youthful Rock-and-Roll

  • Looks from H&M
  • Emma is wearing a mint green skater skirt with a leopard print crop top. Flouncy skirts along with crop tops will continue to be a big trend for teens going into the fall. She has a great denim jacket and ankle boots to make it a perfect look for fall. And of course, because we are going to school, Emma has a faux leather backpack, which has the buckled pockets, which is a huge trend this fall.
  • Ethan is wearing a dark grey jogger pant – you are going to see a lot of these for the guys this fall! He keeps it casual with a colorful cotton tee layered with a chambray shirt and simple black sneakers. Blue hues and grey are big trends for the guys this fall as well.
  • OTHER TRENDS – Leather, motorcycle jackets and soft pants.
