Adorable Dresses

One thing that will always and forever be in style is a cute dress. Whether it’s a midi or a maxi, fitted or loose, printed or solid, having a handful of dresses on hand will always be a good idea. Right now, we’re seeing a lot of bright colors and floral prints, very girly and feminine. There are some super cute boutique dresses at Poppywells that would be absolutely perfect!

Matching Sets

There is one major trend that has been on the up and up for a while, and that’s matching sets. It could be anything from a cute crop top and skirt to a loose tee and pants. Whatever the pieces, these coordinating ensembles are extremely popular right now, and they make it easy to make a statement with your clothing.

Cute Athleisure Wear

After making it through the year 2020, we all learned that comfort is key, and we are happy to say that athleisure wear is here to stay. We’re talking leggings, loose tanks and tees, fancy zip up hoodies, the works. Thank goodness comfy clothes are trending because what could be better than basically going to school in your pajamas?

Tons of Tie-Dye

This fun DIY trend from the 60’s is making a major comeback. Use one color or a variety on one item. Wear one tie-dyed piece or multiple in one outfit. It’s all working for the back to school season this year. Grab your friends all the supplies to tie dye some clothes and get ready for a fun afternoon!

Lively Basics

We could all benefit from having a few more basic pieces in our closets and dressers, and right now, basic pieces in bright, bold colors are very in style. Bright yellows, pinks, greens, and oranges are a great way to go. Whether you’re snagging some cute, loose tees and sweatpants or something a little more formal, like a blazer or a dress, this is an easy way to liven up your wardrobe a little bit.

So as you get everything ready to hit the books and head back to the classroom, be sure to grab the wardrobe pieces in your wishlist so you can look your best at school. Whether you’re loving the matching set trend or you’re wanting a closet full of bright, bold dresses, snag the clothing pieces that will help you feel beautiful and confident. Happy shopping!
