[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]H&M and Zara kids are good places to go. Jeans are back in (wide legs not flare) and you can pair it with a short cut sweater and or tee shirt that is more fun/ print colorful (not crop top but close, as the jeans are high waist there is no belly showing). The skirts even though basic (jean skirt or black pleated skirts a bit K-pop style) can be paired with black sheer tights that have fun / interesting patterns. Shoes : samba sneakers or similar and all stars high top are in and came come in interesting pops of colors. Boots in more muted colors but interesting shapes and height are another option. Basically the game is to show her how to use colors and creative clothing more sparingly and paired with part of the tween basic uniform. Either the shoes and the tee shirt are colorful or the skirt is. But the rest is white/black/navy or jeans.[/quote] A couple examples below of the wide legs silhouette paired either colorful sweater or fun boots. The viral video of the tween girls dancing in the desert on that country song which turned into a Zara ad (with the long hair your daughter’s friends have in mind…) can give you a good idea of another basic silhouette that is in at that age (just for knowledge).

Emphatic hard no to Boden. Those abercrombie wide leg jeans are great -- my DD has a lighter and a darker wash. That's exactly the silhouette that's "in". She pairs them with Nike sneakers mostly. And the pair there with the bows are actually adorable if your DD likes a little flare -- that kind of embellishment is "in" too in 3rd grade. Then just pair with a some boxy t-shirts or hoodies and sweatshirts that hit at the waist. [/quote]
