TORONTO — The ’90s pop culture revival shows no signs of slowing and the decade’s fashions are reflected in this year’s back-to-school trends for teens.<\/p>\n

“You’re going to see those pieces that are the hallmarks from that ’90s era, but they’ve been given an update this season,” said Winners style expert Ingrie Williams.<\/p>\n

Williams said one key piece — and a grunge staple — is the plaid shirt, but featured in softer tones and a more draped fit. It can be worn on its own, layered with other shirts, or tied around the waist. It also teams well with a skirt or trousers.<\/p>\n

“You might also want to look for plaid pieces in a skirt or a dress that you can wear with leggings — just as long as you have that hit of plaid throughout your outfit.”<\/p>\n

In addition to grunge signatures like ripped jeans and graphic rocker-inspired tees, Williams said there are also revamped takes on footwear and outerwear.<\/p>\n

Combat boots go beyond basic black while moto jackets are slightly more oversized and fashioned from materials other than leather.<\/p>\n

“Look for something like… neoprene-type fabric, cotton, denim, elements such as fringe or an unexpected colour.”<\/p>\n

Here are some other notable trends in back-to-school styles:<\/p>\n

BOHO<\/strong>
\n“The 70s-inspired boho trend was huge on fall-inspired runways and it’s a look that tween girls can really have some fun with,” said Williams.<\/p>\n

“The idea here is to balance romantic elements with cool, casual basics.”<\/p>\n

She suggested teaming a ruffled prairie skirt with a fun graphic-printed T-shirt and topping it with an army-green utility jacket for a bit of edge.<\/p>\n

“The utility jacket is really versatile.<\/p>\n

It looks amazing over a dress or skirt, but equally amazing with jeans or leggings.”<\/p>\n

Williams said fringe elements remain a top trend, with the ornamental strips of fabric adorning knitwear, scarves and even sneakers. Wide-brimmed hats and flared jeans are also boho staples.<\/p>\n

For younger girls, a faux fur vest offers additional warmth and a fun add-on layer.<\/p>\n

“(It’s) something that you can throw on in those early fall days overtop of a light knit.”<\/p>\n

JEAN JOGGERS<\/strong>
\nWilliams said the skinny jogging pant is an updated take on denim that fuses fashion with comfort. The casual piece pairs well with T-shirts and can easily be dressed up with “sophisticated layers” like a nylon blazer.<\/p>\n

THE LAYERED LOOK<\/strong>
\n“Don’t be afraid to have fun with a graphic print tee and then maybe a checkered shirt that you leave open,” said Williams.<\/p>\n

She suggested boys can wear their shirts under a denim jacket, which can be paired with classic chinos or cords as an alternative to denim.<\/p>\n

In mixing prints that seemingly clash, Williams said the key is to balance patterns by pairing a slightly smaller print with an oversized one in the same colour palette.<\/p>\n

BOLD BACKPACKS<\/strong>
\nBolder prints and vibrant colours are proving to be popular among students seeking to make a splash with a school-time staple: the backpack.<\/p>\n

“I find that the person that wants to go for a print is going more crazy than they did before,” said Marie-Douce Marcil, buyer for Bentley, billed as Canada’s largest retailer of luggage and travel accessories.<\/p>\n

Marcil said a doughnut-patterned backpack and another adorned with cats and dogs flying in space are among their top sellers. Floral-printed backpacks are also popular.<\/p>\n

Pastel hues may be associated with spring, but Marcil said mint and coral are among the standout shades incorporated in prints for fall bags.<\/p>\n

Another ’90s mainstay has made a comeback: the backpack with zippable straps, which can be work slung across one or both shoulders.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s something that will get stronger and stronger,” Marcil said of the style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
