Back-to-School Trends for Boys
By nature, boys just aren’t the easiest group of humans to shop for. Either they don’t care what you get them, or they just really don’t want to step foot into a mall – except with their friends, perhaps. Many boys just aren’t super excited to go back-to-school shopping like we are. Regardless, here are the popular fashion picks for boys for this school year:
Baggy Jeans
H&M Loose Fit Jeans
H&M has over a handful of different washes available in the five-pocket baggy jeans for kids. This pair features straight legs with a zip fly and button closure and an adjustable elastic waistband for easy on and off.
Character Graphic Tees
Cotton On License Drop Shoulder Short Sleeve Tee
Who doesn’t love showing off their favorite characters in an outfit? Cotton On has several cute graphic tees featuring beloved characters like Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Sonic and more.
Back-to-School Trends for Girls
Shopping with your daughter can be an instant bonding experience when you love everything she chooses. It feels like the birds are singing a little louder while butterflies gently hover about your head. Or, it can be a full-out festival of eye rolls, tears, sighs and tantrums — and that’s just from your side of the dressing room when you see the inspo your sweet baby girl is choosing (thanks to social media).
These are some popular fashion trends we’re seeing for girls that won’t shock you quite as much:

Tweens just want clothes that make them feel confident and comfortable and that express their personality — and, of course, are trendy and cute.
Cargo Pants
Abercrombie The Reissue Collection 2000s Utility Pant

Adaptive Kids Clothing Stores
Apparel that’s inclusive and adaptive for every kid has become the norm even since last year as more retail stores are understanding the importance of offering clothes that every kid can feel comfortable wearing. Parents who’ve historically had a challenge locating these types of clothes have even more options than ever before, as mainstream brands offer parents cute and affordable choices.
Here’s where you can shop for adaptive back-to-school clothing options right now:
