Middle schoolers are developing their personal style, and they want to look good without looking like they tried too hard. The key is to find trendy pieces that don’t cost a fortune. Here’s how to help your middle schooler look stylish on a budget.
Tips for Parents:
-
Shop Off-Season: Buy winter clothes in the spring and summer clothes in the fall to score major discounts. Store them away until the season arrives.
-
Discount Retailers: Stores like TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshalls carry brand-name clothing at discounted prices. These stores are perfect for finding trendy pieces without paying full price.
-
DIY Customization: Encourage creativity by customizing basic pieces. Iron-on patches, fabric paint, or even tie-dye can turn a plain shirt into a unique fashion statement.
Outfit Ideas:
-
Denim Jacket + Dress + Sneakers: A denim jacket can be worn over a dress for a stylish yet comfortable look. Add sneakers to keep it casual.
-
Graphic Hoodie + Skinny Jeans + High-Tops: A graphic hoodie paired with skinny jeans and high-top sneakers is a go-to look for boys and girls alike.
-
Sweater + Skirt + Ankle Boots: For a more polished look, pair a cozy sweater with a skirt and ankle boots.
Where to Shop:
- TJ Maxx: Great for finding brand-name items at lower prices.
- Ross: Offers a wide variety of styles at discounted rates.
- Marshalls: Known for trendy pieces and affordable accessories.
