They are no longer little schoolgirls!
Have a teen or tween ready to rule the next new school? Whether it’s junior high or high school, back to books means fresh new looks with some of the hottest fashions for fall.
Fall Warm Up
Cozy up to oversized sweaters this fall: nubby knits and even the collegiate sweater make a comeback. For color, think red, powder blue, camel and pastels. Pair with leggings or a great pair of skinny jeans to balance the look. But don’t be blue, color her happy—this year you’ll find jeans in a rainbow of colors.

It’s a Pattern
Oh my stars, stripes and checks. Connect the dots this fall with pleasing patterns. And look for mixed motifs; so pattern on pattern is encouraged. How do you mix and match? Choose complementary colors. Go big with small. And stick with opposite silhouettes, like baggy shirts with a slimmer skirt.

Retro Rocks
Oh, those rebellious years…with a look to match. We return to that crazy decade with a ‘90s heavy metal-influenced look—think sunglasses and “Pretty in Pink.” But don’t take a full plunge into grunge, because a little goes a long way. Stick to one or two pieces, like a pair of lace-up combat boots, coated skinny jeans, or a leather jacket.

White Out
The school bell rings in winter whites early this season. A good start? An over oversized white sweater draped over white jeans.

Yes, Sir!
Military makes a great base for a fashion-forward look. Look for camouflage jackets slung over slim-fitting shirts and other military touches, like these cute shoes.

Too Cool for School?
Think schoolgirl when it comes to getting straight A’s in fashion this year. Peter Pan collars, pea coats, patent loafers and peppy preppy looks will take you to the top of the class.
