If you think that only teen girls covet new back-to-school clothes, think again. Fashion is right up there alongside sports, girls, and video games. Refresh your son’s wardrobe with these new trends.
Denim
Denim may fade, but it’s never going out of style. This year, it’s less about cut than color. A classic pair of jeans can be reinvented with patches and prints. Just keep his shirt simple. The denim-on-denim trend is still going strong, too. Top off jeans with a chambray button-down.
Graphics
Nothing says you’re stylish like a graphic tee—sometimes literally! Graphics have come a long way from shirts emblazoned with sports teams and brand logos. Whether it’s your son’s favorite band or just a cool design, let him make a statement on the first day of school. He may even meet some new friends with similar interests. A plaid shirt (another trend, back from the ’90s) can be layered underneath or tied around his waist.
Accessories
This season, your son’s accessories may get more attention than his outfit itself. A cool pair of kicks can be the envy of all his peers. High-top, multi-colored sneakers look great with jeans rolled up at the cuff. Hats may not be allowed in school, but backpacks certainly are. A faux leather one might just inspire him to bring home more books to study.
With these back-to-school styles, your son is sure to be seated at the front of the class.
