2. 80s Look Retro Track Jackets for Boys
Boys just love these 80s inspired track jackets that look new again. Track jackets are more form fitting than the hoodies and zippies that have been so popular for the past couple of years. I just love this track jacket, available at Nordstrom, for its crisp colors and slim fit.3. Skinny Jeans
Those tight fitting skinny jeans that you remember from your own childhood are back. Like this pair from Old Navy, this year's skinny jeans look best in a dark wash.For tips on looking cool in skinny jeans, check out my Tweens' Guide to Wearing Skinny Jeans.

Preteens, tweens and younger girls are crazy over leggings. They are so much more fun than socks, and infinitely more comfortable than tights. What leggings are hot for Back to School? How should she wear them? What shoes should she wear? I'll give you the complete low-down on leggings, this minute's hottest fashion must have.5. Longer Tees
Say bye-bye to crop tops! This year's tee is longer. For an 80s look, choose longer tops with geometric patterns like this one from Nordstrom.6. Puffer Vests for Boys and Girls
Both girls and boys look great in puffer vests. In the 80s, these had a country/hunter feel to them. These days, puffer vests sport a more modern and sleek look like this one from North Face.7. Ballet Flats
