As the final days of August slowly slip away, something takes hold of me. The hazy, unstructured days of summer that were once so enticing begin to lose their appeal. I need structure and schedules. It’s as if there’s an invisible switch, and suddenly, the idea of going back to school is an exciting thought. I’m ready to transition from the carefree days of summer to autumn’s routines.
My daughter, Gia, and I welcome the back-to-school season with open arms, ready to throw on our sweats and hoodies (from adidas, of course), and immerse ourselves in the rhythm of routines once again.
Who’s with us?!

Back-To-School Shopping Is About The Clothes: My Pre-Teen’s adidas Faves

This year’s back-to-school shopping is particularly exciting with Gia. It’s not just about getting ready for the academic year; it’s about the clothes. Who am I kidding — it’s always been about the clothes.
Since Gia was as young as 2, she’s had an undeniable interest in fashion, and it grows bigger and bigger every year. Gia keeps up on what’s trending, she has a great sense of style, and the best part, we can now share clothes!

Gia and I are both super-excited to be given the chance to work with adidas and cover their back-to-school looks. I’ve been a big fan of adidas since I was a kid, and Gia’s introduction to adidas clothing has been fun, met with lots of excited gasps as she finds something she loves and can’t wait to put it on.
Wide-Leg Sweatpants Are Making A Comeback: adidas Fleece Pants
Hoodie (S) | Pants (S) | Sneakers | Backpack
In the world of pre-teen fashion, a noticeable trend has taken over as baggy sweatpants and oversized sweatshirts have become the new favorites. Among these trends, the revival of wide-leg sweatpants is making a strong comeback, and they’ve quickly become one of her favorite things to wear.
The idea of lounging comfortably at school, wrapped in the cozy embrace of these wide-leg sweats, is exactly what she wants to be wearing as days grow colder (same girl, same). For Gia, these well-fitting yet stylish pants have undoubtedly become her go-to choice for combining fashion and comfort during the changing seasons.

When You Want To Live In Oversized Sweatshirts: adidas Full-Zip Hoodie
If my daughter could live in an oversized sweatshirt, she would. I’m sure you’ve seen the kids around in their big sweatshirts with shorts, shorts that you can’t even see because the sweatshirt is so big — probably not the best outfit for school. Enter adidas’ normal-length yet still oversized hoodie — a twist on the popular oversized-sweatshirt trend, re-imagined for school wear.
This adorable sweatshirt combines the comfort and relaxed vibe of the oversized hoodie with a neat, tailored appearance. Gia loves how it lets her embrace the trends while still adhering to school dress codes.
Navigating the shift from summer to fall, this ribbed tank top is also a great choice for back-to-school. As temperatures change, this versatile top provides an easy transition, offering a layer of warmth while maintaining a stylish edge. We can easily pair it with shorts on lingering warm days or tucked under the zip-up and cozy wide-leg sweats as a cozy fall layer.
The joy of having a fashion-forward daughter is the ability to share clothes and shoes!
