What Do Kids Wear These Days?

For some parents, keeping up with the latest trends in children’s clothing can be mind blowing. There are trends that seem to come and go overnight. Other trends may be a bit to risqué for the child and their age group. So, what do kids wear these days and how do you style a child when you have no idea what the style is?

Super Skinny Jeans

According to Seventeen magazine, one of the latest trends for junior high aged girls is the super skinny look. Some parents may be concerned about this option due to the tightness of some of the jeans.

Fortunately, several designers offer super skinny jean options that are not revealing.

These options can also be combined with stylish tunics and layered top affects to give a cute yet comfortable look that will meet school dress code guidelines.

Blazer Craze

Blazers are seeing a huge comeback for both boys and girls during the latest fashion trend releases. In fact, there are few stores that are not carrying blazer options.

The great thing about this trend is that blazers can be dressed up or down and oversized blazers are equally as popular as fitted options. If you are looking for a stylish spring outfit that will fit in with school dress codes and transcend into Sunday activities, then the blazer is a good choice.

Casual and Respectable

The Ladies Home Journal recently released a few trends for boys that are popular and age appropriate. These styles take the standard casual jeans and t-shirt style to a new level. With layered t-shirts, denim jackets, and cargo or carpenter style jeans young men can remain stylish and well within school dress codes.

The good news about this updated style is that most of the styles can be worn to casual Sunday functions easily. Kids also like being able to customize their shirts in small orders, which a lot of screen printing shops are specializing in now.

Dress Occasions

Dress occasions and Sunday formal events, such as Easter, may be the most difficult times to find the right style for kids these days.

For boys a simple vest with a button down shirt and casual pants is always a good option. Tailored is best, but more relaxed styles are becoming popular. They are age appropriate and fit in easily with various Sunday events and special occasions.

For girls, florals and slim lines are the rage in style. These styles can be found at most department stores and fit in well with the spring style guides. Sundresses and casual floral smocked dresses are the top pick, especially if they can be combined with a solid color stylish blazer.

There are several style options available that can work for junior high aged students in school or during special occasion and Sunday events. These options will help your kids keep up with the style and stay within age appropriate clothing styles.
