Back to School Shopping On a Budget
Stylish Back to School Trends That Won’t Break the Bank
This year, back to school shopping doesn’t have to be hard on you or your wallet. In an economy where every penny counts, you can set a budget and still send your kids back to school in style.
The fall is all about transition: from warmer to cooler weather, and from summer play-clothes to school outfits. According to the Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor™, 77% of consumers plan to purchase new clothing for their children this fall. But it’s possible to outfit your kids for the school year without spending a bundle.
“It’s all about layering,” says Linda DeFranco, Director of Product Trend Analysis at Cotton Incorporated. The key to shopping on a budget is to update your children’s summer wardrobes with just a few pieces that are appropriate for fall weather, like zippered hoodies and leggings. Plus, classics like khakis, denim jackets, and long sleeved cotton shirts are always in style and durable enough to last all year.”
When shopping for back to school items, make this year’s transition smoother by choosing outfits in layers that will move easily from warm temperatures to cooler ones. Check out these suggestions for stylish back to school trends that won’t break the bank.
Adding an extra layer to summer clothing is a simple way to keep your child warm as the weather cools, without having to buy an entire new wardrobe. Simple pieces like jean jackets, cotton cardigans, leggings and zippered hoodies can add an extra layer of warmth to light-weight clothing.
Buy durable cotton clothing in classic styles that allow your child to mix and match. Fall basics like khakis, long sleeved cotton t-shirts and a good pair of denim jeans will not only be appropriate for the weather, but also in style for years to come.
Dress your children in clothes appropriate for the transitional weather, like three-quarter length sleeves and capri pants.
