Back-to-School Fashion
Black and white makes a huge comeback, offering students of all ages, from young kids to college-bound, a cool and modern approach to no-stress dressing. Girls and boys can both rock this trend while incorporating their personal style with graphic t-shirts, athleisure, chunky sole sneakers, belt bags or backpacks and letterman-style jackets.
For young ladies, this school year is all about adding an unexpected edge to classic pieces. Embellished jeans are paired with moto lug sole boots and cool bags in shades of red, sure to add spunk to any outfit. Sweatshirts and jackets are given an update this fall with ruffle, lace and grommet details. And for the hair, scrunchies and hairbands are all the rage.
Boys will walk the halls in style, sporting graphic t-shirts with playful sayings and vibrant designs. Add a relaxed vibe to a crisp shirt with distressed denim and high-top sneakers. Patched jackets, shirts and pants are sure to be staples in students’ everyday school looks.
Dorm
Students can ace their space by adding comfy and cool lifestyle essentials from Macy’s. Whim by Martha Stewart pillows help with big dreams, while Charter Club towels add a bright pop of color and personalization to any room. Staying healthy during the school year is easier than ever with the Bella Rocket Blender, perfect for smoothies on the go for those morning classes. Don’t stop there, skip the dining hall and create fun meals with a Crux toaster and Essentials dish set which are sure to keep even the busiest student on track. Any student can express themselves and stay organized in class with stylish notebook sets from Poppin.
