The return to school is an exciting time full of expectations, for children and parents alike. Preparing for the new school year goes beyond buying books and materials: it is essential to choose the right clothing, footwear and backpack to ensure comfort and style for your little ones. Let’s find out together how best to tackle this moment, from the first steps to adolescence.
Back to school for toddlers: the first steps towards school
Clothing: For children starting kindergarten or primary school, comfort is the watchword. Opt for garments made of natural, breathable fabrics such as cotton. Trousers and T-shirts should be soft and easily washable, as little ones can get dirty easily. Leotards and tracksuits are ideal for toddlers, as they facilitate quick changes and provide freedom of movement.
Footwear: For children starting to walk, shoes should be light and flexible, offering the necessary support without hindering the natural development of the foot. Velcro shoes are perfect for toddlers, as they are easy to put on and take off independently. Fratinardi proposes breathable and Made in Italy shoes such as Nerogiardini and Geox, with a removable insole so that the foot can be measured.
Backpack: Choose a backpack with adjustable, padded shoulder straps to avoid stress on your shoulders and back. Models with multiple compartments are useful for keeping materials and snacks in order. Also, colourful designs and cartoon characters can make the backpack more attractive to children.
Back to school for school-age children: style and practicality
Clothing: When your children enter primary or middle school, clothing becomes a little more sophisticated but still needs to be practical. Opt for durable trousers, such as jeans or cargo trousers, and quality cotton T-shirts. Sweatshirts and light jackets are ideal for the autumn and spring period. Also consider the importance of garments that can be easily mixed and matched, so that your children can express their personal style.
Footwear: For school-age children, it is important that shoes are comfortable and durable. Sports shoes are a good choice for physical activity and leisure time, while more elegant shoes may be suitable for special occasions. Make sure the shoes offer good support and are the right size.
Backpack: For children of this age group, a sturdy and spacious backpack is essential. Models with padded shoulder straps and good weight distribution are ideal for optimal comfort. Choose a backpack with several compartments to keep books, notebooks and other school materials in order.
Back to school for teenagers: elegance and functionality
Clothing: Teenagers are starting to develop their own sense of style, so it is important to listen to their preferences while choosing clothing. Opt for quality garments that can be worn on different occasions, such as stylish jeans and trendy jumpers. Don’t forget to include items for different seasons, such as waterproof jackets for the rain and warm jumpers for the winter.
Footwear: Shoes for teenagers need to be versatile and stylish. Trainers are always a good choice, but also consider stylish shoes for special occasions. Make sure they are comfortable and of good quality, as they are often worn for a long time.
Backpack: For teenagers, a backpack should be both stylish and functional. Opt for models with dedicated compartments for laptops, books and other tech gadgets. Backpacks with modern, minimalist designs can be an excellent choice, as they go well with both casual and more formal looks.
Back to school, happy re-entry!
Preparing for back to school is not only about buying new school supplies, but also ensuring that your children are well equipped to face the new year in comfort and style. From early childhood through adolescence, choosing the right clothing, footwear and backpack can make a big difference in their school experience. Investing in quality and comfort will always be the best choice for your children’s well-being and satisfaction. Happy back to school!
