Back-to-school season is here, and this year’s biggest fashion trends are all about looking cool while staying comfortable. 

At Old Navy, denim is taking center stage as an easy way to transition from summer into fall. Low-rise, flare, baggy and cargo-inspired jeans are among the standout styles, giving kids plenty of options for that first-day-of-school look. 

The ’90s influence is also going strong with fleece and relaxed silhouettes. Baggy pants paired with tanks, graphic tees and hoodies. Also, the pajama-inspired trend is alive, bringing comfort into the classroom without sacrificing style. 

Activewear is another big back-to-school category, with performance-ready pieces from Old Navy’s Bounce, StudioSmooth, PowerSoft and Dynamic Fleece collections. For cooler fall days, sweaters and knits add an easy extra layer, while the return of the skort keep things fun. 

Plus parents may like the prices just as much as kids like the clothes. Most styles start at $9.99, and Old Navy offers an Oops-Proof one-year guarantee on back-to-school kids’ clothing.
