Model Students

As the fall season draws near, it's once again time to think about dressing students for the school year. With gas, food and housing costs soaring to all-time highs, it is important to make this year’s wardrobe as transitional as possible and get the greatest value out of each garment.

Layered looks can achieve lasting quality by allowing the wearer to take looks from summer to fall, and from fall into the winter months. A spaghetti strap dress combined with a cute cotton cardigan or jersey hoodie can take your little girl from early fall into late, breezy autumn. Match her outfit with leggings, a chic scarf and a stylish pair of boots, when the weather gets cooler. Boys can take advantage of the layering-effect by matching a trendy tee with a chunky cardigan or flannel shirt. Add a long sleeve shirt under the tee, and his look is switched from early fall to winter-ready. For teens, think 90s retro and Grunge. Go preppy for the younger trend-setters. Regardless what look you choose, the key is to invest in cotton pieces that can transition throughout the seasons, and most importantly, have fun!

Layering looks is all about being creative and using your imagination. Below are some stylish cotton separates that will help you create chic and comfortable looks for your back-to-school youngsters.
