Back To School Clothes Choices

Kids need to wear comfortable clothing when they attend school

. They need to focus on schoolwork and not how their shirt feels like sandpaper. While comfort is a top priority, kids also know they need to have clothes that will be acceptable to their classmates. No one likes being made fun of when their clothes are so different, at least not when you are in the lower grades.

The younger the child, the easier it is to choose clothing for them. They have yet to establish identities or even know what is cool and what isn't. They will wear whatever you lay out for them. You don't see many arguments bursting out in the playground over a pair of overalls that have the A,B,C's on the front of them. Children start to put more meaning to clothes as they enter first grade. At this point, they want the same popular characters on their clothes just like all their friends are sporting.

As they enter middle school, they want to shop the mall fashions and usually go for the higher priced clothing. This can get expensive and just when the parents don't want to have to shell out $125 for a pair of ripped jeans just because everyone is wearing them. It's still important for teens to fit in within their social group.

High school is a time when teens begin to find a sense of themselves and wish to express this in the clothing they wear. The table starts to turn and now they want to be a little different and search for clothing that still is acceptable from is different from what the majority is wearing.

T-shirts have become the norm for school attire. There are so many stores selling T-shirts and trying to grab the attention of the teenagers today. They come in all varieties and most all stores carry them. Ten years ago, the malls where bombarded with teens looking for just the right clothing but now teens have access to a different kind of shopping arena. They now have computer access to the web which boasts sites offering unique and different kinds of clothing.
