Kids will stand out from their peers and go to the head of the class with back-to-school fashion choices that are bold and brash.
Add these colorful pieces to their ensemble when school starts, and they're sure to stand out. After all, individuality is the name of the game, right?
Incorporate these pieces as a pop of color, or mix them all together for a dazzling display. They're young — kids can absolutely take fashion risks.
So let them channel their inner superhero; let them become a pink dinosaur or gravitate toward vibrant patterns and prints.
Kids can't lose when they take a walk on the brighter side of fashion.
