With so many brands and styles out there, it’s tough for parents to stay on top of the latest and greatest in back-to-school fashion. Zappos’ team of stylists work year-round, researching apparel and footwear trends to ensure that we have what’s hot for kids of all ages.
From kindergarteners to high schoolers, Zappos has all the must-haves to get your kids stylish. Whether it be jeans and t-shirts or Chuck Taylors, Zappos has something for everyone! Here are five fashion trends that will have your kid falling in love with their back-to-school wardrobe, guaranteed to get them an A+ in style:
1. “Retro” kicks
Everything old is new again. Retro is in and top brands are taking notice, producing new product lines that pay homage to past eras. New Balance Kids and old school adidas are just two examples of footwear brands that are offering popular retro looks refreshed for 2015. Check out some of the Fashion Poet favorite retro looks.
Perhaps the most iconic shoe in the world, the “Chuck Taylor All Star,” remains a popular choice, managing to adapt to the times just enough to stay on the top trends lists year after year. More than one billion pairs of “Chucks” have been sold worldwide, with styles that burst with color or classic solids that can be personalized. Perfect for kids of any age and personality.
2. “Heritage” Backpacks
Heritage style backpacks are making a big comeback. Many of these are classic backpacks that pair vintage style with a modern twist. The Heritage style from Herschel Supply is a clear example of how the brand is staying on-trend this season. From Dakine to Vans, Jansport also has a wide selection to have your kid carrying their books in style.
3. Boots
There’s no surprise that boots are big for the fall. From the flower motifs that work from summer to fall, the classic Dr. Martens Kid’s Collection boots can add edge to your kids’ wardrobe.
Your kids can make a big splash with some cool rain boots. Hunter boots are perfect for long rainy and snow days, keeping them stylish and staying warm.

4. Graphic Tees
Kids can make a bold statement with graphic tees. The coolest T-shirts show off their personality, and this year it’s all about positive messaging.
From novelty T-shirts with witty and humorous phrases to athletic fits and vintage styles, we’ll have your kid styling in the classroom.
5. Denim
Denim is a timeless staple. We are loving denim jackets, jeans, shirts and skirts that are a big trend for the fall. It’s durable, comfortable and cool and will get them through math class to after-school gatherings.
Ripped or colored are some of the coolest treatments that your kid can rock. My son wears all kinds of denim- mostly jeans. The more ripped up and weathered they look, the cooler they are. Isn’t it funny how we used to want those darkest blue jeans ever so they looked new? Now, the style is opposite!

My son usually hates wearing hiking boots. These North Face Litewave boots are not like traditional hiking boots. They are actually made more like basketball sneakers. They are comfortable, provide great arch and ankle support and they are fashionable too! He tried them laced all the way up and tied them a little too tight the first time. Once I explained that they didn’t need to be tied all the way up, he has loved them ever since.
We like to walk every day after school. Now with our new hiking boots, we can walk on the trails on our property without worrying about twisting our ankles on the uneven ground.
The North Face Litewave boots are the perfect cross between sneakers and hiking boots. Get yours at Zappos!
