Macy’s Forecasts A+ Styles for the Back-to-School Season
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With the back-to-school season approaching, Macy’s is ready to help
students put their best (fashion) foot forward for heading back to
classrooms this fall. Offering the best designers and brands at
affordable prices, Macy’s is the destination for parents, kids and
college students to score great finds across apparel, shoes and
accessories.
“Back-to-school is the perfect time of year to refresh your wardrobe and
infuse the season’s colors and trends,” said Stephanie Muehlhausen,
Macy’s vice president and fashion director. “From elementary school to
college, everyone will find the very best brands to start the school
year off right and achieve on-trend looks for the fall – whether it’s
dressing in boho chic, activewear or updated denim styles.”
Back-to-School Fashion Trends
For junior girls, this season brings a return to bohemian styling with
’70s global references. Picture a vibrant clash of cultures with ethnic,
folkloric, mosaic and dip-dye prints. These themes can be seen as
peasant tops and dresses that take the halls in off-the-shoulder
silhouettes, all with the return of the flare-leg. Students can embrace
their inner flower child with fringe, embroidery and craft details.
Additionally, ponchos and capes in blanket patterns add warmth and serve
as must-have layering pieces when temperatures drop.
Nothing says back-to-school like great denim. The red-hot denim-on-denim
trend is interpreted with chambray shirts and denim shells paired with
baby-bell jeans or a denim skirt. The denim trend receives a fun update
with styles featuring ripped and repaired patchwork details. The classic
shirt reinvents itself in new plaids, patterns and graphics. The
traditional plaid fitted shirt will also get a refresh as it evolves
into a slightly more oversized fit with more attention to detail. Junior
girls will also adopt a modern eclecticism by mixing plaids with
graphics, washed vintage treatments, and mixed media pieces. The
chambray shirt and white oxford blouse will both be key staples in her
closet.
For the casual, minimalist girl, “athleisure” continues to be an
important trend. Jogger pants, graphic tees, and loose, knit dresses
paired with white sneakers and dainty jewelry make a cool statement for
fall. Graphic tees have a comeback in bohemian-inspired celestial and
astrology prints, attitude-filled statement tees, and tees featuring
their favorite movie characters and scenes.
For young girls, the same trends apply, but are scaled down – peasant
tops, printed leggings, stretch denim, statement tees, and fit-and-flare
dresses all play a big role in wardrobes this fall for the little
fashionista.
In young men’s, the graphic tee trend continues, especially in different
variations of black and white. Pair a favorite tee with ripped and
repaired jeans, joggers, and track jackets. Young boys will also follow
this sporty trend, wearing their favorite pair of joggers with hoodies
and graphic tees for a hip, casual look.
Add to these looks with sneakers or high tops to achieve a contemporary,
active style. Modern backpacks in leather are the finishing touch for
the perfect back-to-school look for boys, girls, and teens this fall.
