Five Things You Need To Know Today (The Hy-Five)

It’s mid-summer and with the first day of school not too far away in Hyattsville, here are five things you need to know today about trends in back to school fashion:

1. Ellegirl fashion won’t let the colorful jeans of the 90s fade out. They suggest swapping blue jeans for green jeans, pink jeans or even yellow jeans. I think I might have a pair of indigo and teal striped jeans in my closet somewhere …

2. Looking for a couple graphic t-shirts to wear with those jeans? JC Penney has some great deals already on the market.

3. American Eagle’s website has plaid button down shirts and the skinny pants that so many high schoolers have been wearing.

4. Leopard prints aren’t just for Halloween anymore. Check out teenvogue.com for a look at what’s trending for the fall and how to get those looks.

5. For accessories, www.catalogs.com suggests fringe suede belts, chandelier earrings, hot sneakers and dirt kickin’ boots to stay trendy.
