Back To School Style Guide

First Day 'fit + Rest in Power leggings

Back to school is in FULL effect. California, Texas and Arizona kids already have their bum-bums in those academic chairs, and those East-coasters are counting down to the Labor Day finish line. But what are the kids wearing as they strut the halls?

Here are some of the key takeaways for this years BTS.

• Wide and baggy pants FTW. (Gen Z has killed the legging. All pants from PJs to workout need to have a wide leg)

• Crop tops are still the mainstay whether they are lacy, off-the-shoulder t-shirts, button-up tanks, or a tube top, all of those are yes.

• Green lights for big baggy sweatshirts, jackets and sweaters

• Sneakers, duh.

Brands like Brandy Melville, Hollister, Abercrombie, Aerie and American Eagle, Pacsun and Garage are BIG. Also, our teen correspondent Louie has been getting lots of secondhand scores from depop!
