Durable Fabrics + Comfortable Fits = Utility Core
If your elementary schooler wants a trend that is as durable as it is fun, fit them in Utility Core. Utility Core clothing was born from working fashion. Canvas barn jackets, reinforced construction-ready knees, trucker cuts, combat boots, and gardening overalls. It combines the clean lines of military styling, the strong fabrics of workwear, and adds on lots of pockets. Critical elements include boxy fits, thick soles, carpenter/cargo details, and did we already mention pockets?
Attire your utilitarian princess with canvas overalls (complete with storage for all her playground treasures), rugged boots, and a soft, relaxed-cut blouse. The floral adds just a touch of femininity while a military green bandana finishes the look.
The gear most sought out on the playground this year is extra-baggy bottoms. This olive drab pair is contrasted with a boxy tee and finished with a canvas overshirt, standard-issue ball cap, and slip-on clogs.

Collegiate uniforms + 90s streetwear = Neo Prep
Key pieces include striped polos, baby tees, retro sneakers, and a profusion of plaid. This look is perfect for your nostalgic teenager who didn’t get to experience the 90s and 00s firsthand.
Your varsity trendsetter can juxtapose a preppy, gingham cap-sleeve fitted button-down with street inspired track pants and sporty mary-janes. Don’t forget a tiny choker and lots of bobby pins to secure her mini buns.
For the prep-school wannabe, start with a striped rugby polo. The honors version includes an extra shirt layered underneath for two pops of collar. Traditional chinos can be swapped for khaki jeans paired with retro court sneakers.
