Back to School Fashion Buzz
Back to school for many kids, means back to fashion.
What's hot for the Fall?
Jeans, Vintage rock band t-shirts and athletic retro shoes.
Now I have to tell you, I went to school for fashion design/merchandising and I have a very open mind when it comes to fashion trends.
But last week-end, I found myself standing in the store with my 14 year old saying, “look at these jeans, they look like rags.” The "new jeans" were very worn out with a lot of holes. The look - the more distressed the jeans - the better. Then he wanted the Rolling Stones t-shirt with those big lips.
We finally agreed, okay on the distressed jeans, but none with holes. Okay on the rock t-shirt, but no big lips, Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here, I could live with that.
The shoes, PF Flyers, which were acquired by New Balance in 2003. These vintage shoes which have made a comeback along with the Chuck Taylor Converse All Stars version now owned by you know who, Nike.
We went with the PF Flyers, the rationale as to why we went with PF Flyers.
Fashion rule number 1 - We only wear New Balance in our house!
