Trend Forecast for Middle Schoolers

July 28, 2021
As kids prepare for in-person learning this August, many of them can’t help but wonder: what am I going to wear? Attending class virtually in their pajamas was a nice break for kids (and their parents' wallets). But let’s face it, kids are ready to head back into the classroom looking like they never missed a beat. Here are three fashion trends popping up at popular retailers like Target, Old Navy and Kohl’s.

Tie-Dye
Everywhere you turn it’s tie-dye as far as the eye can see. From hoodies to shoes, kids can complement any outfit with this colorful, playful pattern.

90s Throwbacks
Many 30- and 40-year-old parents will be singing Everything old is new again. Especially when they see 90s pop-culture references on everything from t-shirts to backpacks.

Stripes
Although never out of style, there is an abundance of striped clothing showing up in stores and online. From brightly colored dresses to cool-toned t-shirts, there is something for everyone.
