The early days of August are dedicated to soaking up the remnants of a wide-ranging agenda (for the kids, that is) and making the plethora of arrangements needed for the start of a new school year (for the parents). Of course, the months prior were joyous, but as summer vacation closes, a new chapter begins, written with fresh gel pens gently slipped into shiny new binders and carried in the comfort of a whimsical backpack. Kids’ fashion has moved beyond printed tees and extravagantly ruffled ensembles, meaning parents can explore trends and of-the-moment looks that can tap more profoundly into a child’s personality. To give fashion freedom is to allow the fullest expression of oneself … even on the playground.
