SloveniaThe start of the school year has become a fashion event for children and teenagers in countries where school uniforms are not mandatory. The generation Alpha, born between 2010 and 2025, is the first to grow up with platforms like TikTok, online shopping, and constant exposure to micro-trends. This generation is increasingly shaping their own style, influenced by social media and pop culture. American parents are spending around $557 per child on school-related clothing purchases, contributing to a market valued at $30.4 billion. Instead of buying cheaper items, families are opting for more thoughtful choices, favoring versatile pieces such as oversized clothing, backpacks, and multi-functional outfits. Current trends include wide cuts, cargo pants with multiple pockets, and a return to Y2K-era color palettes and playful logos. Narrow trousers are falling out of favor, while loose-fitting styles are gaining popularity in schools.
