These back-to-school fashion innovations range from dip-dyed skateboarding hoodies to tranformative backpacks that fuse style and function seamlessly.
Fueling the fashion industry's athleticwear craze, Gen-Z consumers are more comfort-conscious than other generations and are fans of clothing that makes a smooth transition from the gym to the classroom. Sportswear standouts to note include Adidas' 50th Anniversary collection which features a re-release of the brand's 'Beckenbauer' tracksuit and matching tees,
When looking at function focused back-to-school fashion, innovations like LOT's all-black subscription service come to mind. The brand offers a monthly clothing delivery -- from basic cotton tees and backpacks to plain socks and sneakers -- to fashion fans seeking a worry-free and functional wardrobe. Additionally,examples try-before-you-buy eyewear subscriptions offer customization and versatility for those looking to invest in a new pair of sunglasses or prescription lenses.
