Cool School
Summer is about to end and kids are getting ready for the coming school season. It’s another fresh start as they meet their teachers, classmates and friends.
Fashion plays an important role in the life of kids as they begin to develop personal style. The young (with their parents of course) shop for the latest bags, clothes (unless they have a required uniform), accessories, socks and most importantly shoes. Everyone looks forward to having a new pair.
Through the years, the look of the classic black pair has evolved. Though the forever staple remains the standard, time and change have seemingly created a variety of options. With the proliferation of non-traditional and international schools, everyday shoes have transcended into different styles, colors, textures and even prints. Kids nowadays are dressing up cool for school.
Keeping up with the times, Payless ShoeSource presents its latest back-to-school collection for kids. Both boys and girls will definitely love their stylish pieces that come in the most colorful attractions. Classic loafers, sneakers, ballet flats, boat shoes and slip-ons are reinvented with the current trendy palette that’s definitely on the radar. The exciting new collection offers a variety of stylish casual looks to highlight children’s everyday school wear. For girls, these pretty little things come with prints (polka dots, animal and floral), bows and detailed straps. Shoes for the boys, on the other hand, have bright checks, espadrille details and cool textures. All these fashionable kiddie must-haves boast practical comfort and style without breaking the bank.
Back-to-school is just around the corner and children are levelling up in confidence and personal dressing. Kids are style-ready for a fashionable school-cool year ahead.
