From Playground Plaid to Double-Duty Denim, Fun Fashion Makes the Grade this Back To School


NEW YORK - As kids head back to school this fall, their style creativity will score high marks in the categories of fashion and fun. From reading to recess, Macy's is the back-to-school destination for style-studious in the new school year.

From Macy's Fashion Office, the leading back-to-school trends are plaid, denim and playful tees.

Plaids are a must have for heading back to school. Whether classic plaids, buffalo checks or popped with bright color (think fuschia or electric blue), plaids make a bold statement for fall. Adorable in new tunic or hoodie silhouettes from L.A. Kitty and Beautees, plaid is picture-perfect matched with denim or leggings for her first day of class. And he'll look sharp layering a plaid flannel shirt from Epic Threads or D Coded over his favorite, well-worn tee.

Slim is in for denim! Blue, black, light or distressed, skinny jeans are the style staple for back-to-school. Macy's has a great portfolio of fashionable denim brands for her, including Stone Love, Imperial Star and Jolt. And for him? Levi's! This iconic denim brand makes a major retro comeback with the right style, fit and value - whether he wants slim, skinny, super-skinny or boot-cut, straight-leg or loose-fit jeans.

Graphic tees speak louder than words, and everything goes with this back-to-school staple. Graphic tees from Toxic Hazard, D-Extreme, Point Zero and Epic Threads will keep him looking classic cool as he heads back to class. While Fresh Brewed and Beautees have cute and sassy screen-printed tees that look great with denim or paired with leggings.
