Get Set For Back To School With GILT

While the summer is still going strong, it’s never too early to start thinking about shopping for the coming school year! And who better to dish on the latest trends for the smaller set than Melissa Keswin, the director of kids and baby at GILT! Read on as Melissa shares some great tips for shopping for the coming back-to-school season — and be sure to check out GILT.com for the best deals on fall clothes for kids!

1. Stock up on the essentials: Kids will always need basics, but with a novelty twist to make them feel new–printed leggings, graphic tees, and bright cotton dresses are all everyday items that feel a bit more special for back to school. Now’s your chance to stock up on comfy, casual basics with a modern feel. Neon is still really in–keep it coming–and tribal, floral, and striped prints help basic pieces feel fresh.

2. Sneakers are a must: Most kids need more than one pair. Go for the basics for day to day, like Cienta or Superga, and a cool pair of high-tops, like Puma or Converse, for more action-oriented days in the gym. At left: Superga Fabric Sneaker: GILT: $30, Original Retail: $65

3. Screen tees please: Let your kids express themselves with their clothes! You’ll find some great tees with smart sayings this fall — a great way to start off the new school year in style. At left: Scout & Adler Jayden Raglan Tee: GILT: $25
