Back-to-school fashion is all about comfort and style. The beginning of the school year is when kids carve out their niche among their peers. A few new ensembles in their closet will help form the identity they want to project. From graphic tees to pretty dresses and personalized accessories to funky footwear, any kid can flaunt their individuality through the clothing they choose to wear.
