Parents, did you save your bell bottom jeans and Trapper Keeper
from the 90s? It's all coming back in style! But this year, kids are adding their personal touch.
From hair to clothes,
anything goes -- with
some 90s to the early 2000s vibes.
“A lot of it is the Y2K shapes are coming back, so the lightning bolt, the smiley faces, and
really just parents see what they would shop for when they were kids now
bringing it back with their kids,” says Julia D’Aguanno, manager at Little
Chicken in Atlantic Highlands. “It's really fun.”
D’Aguanno says let kids add
patches, they're not just used to cover up a hole on the knee.
“A girl can come in to get
dinos if they wanted to on their backpack or a boy could come in and say oh I
love a unicorn or a rainbow,” says D’Aguanno. “Parents accept that and their kids express themselves which
is really awesome.”
Annmarie Russo at Bangz in
Montclair says kids are getting a lot of influence from social media, YouTube
and just other people.
“You can be inspired by
others, which is a good thing,” says Johnny Petrozzino, at Bangz. “You should
always be inspired. We always inspire each other, and we inspire each other
here as stylists with our style, hair and clothes, and we inspire our clients,
but we inspire our clients to be themselves and be who they are especially with
how the world is changing.”
