This year�s back-to-school trend forecast is calling for big color and super-retro designs. How �retro�? Think mod 60�s mini skirts, vintage varsity sweaters, and little plaid skirts. Think 80�s rocker girl with punked out colors and funky designs. But it doesn�t end there: the trucker look is all the rage with boxy-netted hats, flannel shirts and big boots - a la Ashton Kutcher. Noted model, fashion consultant and trend correspondent for Mall of America Sara Rogers:
�Guys are going to have a lot of fun shopping for jeans this year as there�s lots of different options � can go with lot of great accessories to achieve the look of the season, like the big hoop earrings you�re seeing. You can also go with a chain belt if you�ve already got a great pair of jeans or cargo pants that you just love. I always recommend ladies updating their handbags and certainly you can see some of those out there.�
Rogers says these new fashion trends can be easily incorporated into existing wardrobes by adding only a few key pieces.
