Military

Military-inspired looks have had a longtime presence in boys' fashion, but this coming season, expect to see stylish recruits among both genders with a proliferation of camouflage print adorning tween and teen apparel. Winners fashion expert Sarah Smithers points to hip-hop heavyweights like Jay Z and Canada's own Drake among the notable names who've helped popularize the distinctive pattern.

Vintage

The idea of vintage is seeping into girls' wear — not unlike the retro prints and feminine frocks favoured by country music sensation Taylor Swift. Vintage fall looks showcase a modern spin on classic styles like full skirts and fit-and-flare dresses featuring contrasting colour trims and collars or contemporary graphic prints.

Grunge

Reinterpretations of grunge looks have made waves on fashion runways, a trend which will trickle down to the school corridors with a fresh take on '90s-era fashions like baby doll dresses and oversized cardigans. For those seeking to assemble a grunge-inspired ensemble without having it appear sloppy, Winners fashion expert Sarah Smithers suggests incorporating a plaid button-down shirt, leather biker jacket or vest to round out the look.

Rocker/80s

Girls are channelling their inner 80s rock star. Nancy Dennis, trend director for children's wear at Sears Canada, suggests girls could team their logo tee of choice with a blazer and stylish pair of high-tops or moto boots. Patterned jeans add colour and round out the rocker-inspired look.

Collegiate/prep

Sears Canada trend director for children’s wear Nancy Dennis said formal blazers and button-down shirts for boys can conjure both sophistication and comfort teamed with jeans or chinos. “In boys' wear, there used to be this division — just like in menswear — of casual versus tailored or dress-up versus dress down. And that whole idea's gone. It's all this hybrid dressing,” said Dennis
