Back-to-School Trends for Girls

Be on the lookout for bursts of colors in purples, pinks and turquoise for girls of all ages this fall. Neutrals will also be popular, especially with these key items:

Leggings – Leggings are both warm and comfortable. Plus, they are great for layering under cute skirts and dresses. Leggings in jersey knits with fun little details such as ruched ankles are sure to be top sellers this back-to-school season.

Bright-color shirts and graphic tees – A bright colored shirt or graphic tee is sure to add a little pop to any outfit. Pair with a neutral jacket when the weather cools down or with bold printed jeans when feeling extra adventurous.

Skinny jeans – On that note, skinny jeans in a dark wash, funky color, print or pattern will be on trend in any school this fall.

Skirts – Skirts are the perfect versatile piece to have in every girls wardrobe since they are ideal for early fall by themselves or worn over leggings and tights during the cooler winter months. Pick up a couple new skirts in navy and beige tones during back-to-school shopping so they can match with practically everything else in your daughter’s closet already.

Tall boots – Now your daughter truly can be your own little mini-me in her own pair of practical riding boots. Comfortable enough for a long day at school but still in style, tall, flat boots will be a match made in heaven for all those new skinny jeans and skirts.
