Mall Name Family Recess/Page 2 Steve Kemble, America’s Sassiest Lifestyle Guru and General Growth Properties (GGP) Trends Expert, offers Rockin’ Back-to-School Tips and Suggestions: These back-to-school fall trends offer common ground for parents and students and are sure to win over everyone’s tastes. Embrace Team Spirit Whether it is their dream college or their family’s alma mater, university inspired clothing is taking over casual wear. From hoodies to zip-ups, tees to sweatpants, the competition is fierce. Just don’t be caught wearing your best friends rival. Groovy Inspirations Put away your miniskirts and make room for maxis. Not only are maxi dresses a new favorite, but maxi skirts are making a splash onto the fashion scene. With plenty of colors, patterns and styles to choose from, there is a maxi designed for everyone. Play with Patterns Picking stylish patterns can be tricky, but these frocks are sure to stand out from the rest! Floral rompers, polka dot dresses and bold graphics are huge this season. Even celebrities, such as Lauren Conrad, the Kardashian sisters and Nicole Richie have been spotted wearing these favored fall looks. Win over your peers with some classroom savvy by also decking out notebooks and planners in these fun and colorful patterns. Sport Eco-friendly Materials Eco-friendly picks are in. Have you joined the green movement yet? Why not shop for clothing that offers sustainable or recyclable fabrics, including organic cotton and bamboo. They are produced without pesticides and contain breathable fibers that are softer on your children’s skin leaving them feeling comfortable all day. Jump into Jeggings What started off as a slow trend recently has boomed into a fashion favorite across all ages. “Jeggings” come in an array of fun washes, mimicking a great new pair of jeans. The fabric is thicker making them more durable and the extra stretch make jeggings a playtime favorite. Plan a shopping date with friends and their kids for a fun play date everyone will enjoy. Rock out in 80s Garb The rock style trend sweeping across the teen scene has made its appearance on children’s clothing. Don’t worry, kids clothes aren’t transforming skulls and crossbones from punk to adorable, they are incorporating bright colors and 80s-inspired stripes for boys and polka dots for girls. Mix and match outfits for an adorably chic style. Give Students the Mall When you give a mall gift card, you give students the option to decide what they really want the most. Whether it’s a great new outfit or the latest gadget, students will love the ease and independence of selecting their back-to-school purchases.
