It’s that time of year again… back to school shopping. I can tell you that no matter where your kids are going to school (online or in-person), they will still want to be dressed in a way that reflects their personality. Comfy, bold, and stylish.
Yes, it’s a lot different this year because it’s all online: school and shopping. Luckily, we’ve partnered with Dicks Sporting Goods to share some of our favorite back to school trends this year. They even invited us to attend their virtual 2020 Back to School “What’s Trending” event. The kids watched with us and commented on each & every ‘trend’ with what they liked, wanted, thought they’d buy, etc.
The best part? The number of times that I turned to the kids and said, “I wore that when I was your age!” Yep… the ’90s fashion trends have returned, and our kids are eating it up.
Now, while the button-down, silk, collared shirts haven’t come back just yet, the Champion sweatshirts & bright shoes are stocked & ready at Dick’s Sporting Goods!
2020 Back to School Trends
2020 is all about “Top off the field” styles. Dick’s Sporting Goods has teamed up with Nicole Laeno, Miles Brown, and Calyann Barnett as they shop at Dick’s Sporting Goods to find their top looks for #backtoschool. This year is all about flexibility and being who you are, just like school – you are doing what works for you (virtual, home, in-person).

Trending Shoes for Kids & Teens
First off, be sure to check out the Dicks Sporting Goods Footwear Release Calendar if you really want to be on top of the shoe trend.
Vans, Nick Airforce Ones, Nike 270s, and Crocs are just a few trending shoes you’ll see this year.
Teen Male Fashion
Bright colors & bold logos is the fashion trend this year. Yellow Crocs, Teal Champion Sweatshirts, Black UnderArmor shorts, White Nike socks… anything goes.
Teen Female Trends
Mix & Match this year. If it brings confidence, kids are wearing it. Teen Girls are sporting cropped Champion shirts, wide-leg bottom pants, and shoes to reflect their personality.
Youth Trends for 2020
There are so many trends here, and anything goes! DSG clothes are perfect for youth (and teens) because they are affordable, and I like that 1% goes to Dick’s Sporting Goods Foundation.
Mother/daughter outfits are on-trend & they are as cute as ever! (Speaking of mother – I recently found CALIA by Carrie Underwood, and I’m sold! I love the skort!)
Must-Have Accessories
No matter the time of year, our kids use their backpacks, water bottles, and lunch boxes. They use them during school months, summer, or breaks in between. Virtual school will not be any different. Our kids use their backpacks to pack anything (day trip to their cousin’s house, taking their towel to the pool, etc…)
Check out the new Hydro Flasks, Yeti daytrip lunchboxes, licensed team lunchboxes, and all of the stickers to personalize them at Dick’s Sporting Goods!
Don’t forget the sunglasses, scrunchies, headbands, and bucket-hats (Our kids all have these… and they even use my grandpap’s from when he was young) Even fanny packs have made a comeback with teens.
Don’t forget to be stylish & safe at the same time with team-logo masks & hand sanitizers.
Backyard Recess
Every evening, we make it a point to play together as a family: Baseball, kickball, tag, cards, jacks, or four-square.
Dick’s Sporting Goods has so many options to help us with ideas & fun! The next thing on our list is the Bowling Set.
No matter where your kids go to school this year, giving them a chance to bring some of these 2020 Trends into your house is going to put a smile on everyone’s face. Dick’s Sporting Goods is a great way to level up your look in school or on camera. No matter what, just remind your kids to show their personality & “BE YOU” all of the time.
Don’t forget to pull out some of those ’90s pictures & let your kids see just how “cool” you really are! 😉
