Do you have a little designer or trendsetter? My teen is both and has been sketching fashion looks since early elementary, so I’ve got the perfect contest for her to enter. Zulily, one of our favorite local brands, is launching an amazing contest called #UniquelyZu.
This Back-to-School season, kids are running the show. It’s a been a weird year and a half and many kids haven’t set foot in a school building in that time. They are now ready to throw out the “Zoom casual” apparel and let their personalities show as they go back to school in the fall. For Gen Z, this moment is an exercise in self-expression and personal identity, and it’s been a long time coming.
I know my kids are excited to get back in person, and they look wildly different than last March when everything shut down. Sure, this is mostly because my oldest grew nearly a foot taller, but it’s also due to the fact that she left as a 11-year-old and now is going back as a full-fledged teen with newfound styles to match. Her new style is a little of this, a little of that, but one thing’s for certain: it’s all her. Gone are the days of me picking out a cute dress and leggings for her – these days she curates the outfits with sites like Zulily.
Zulily’s Back-to-School shop
Zulily’s recently launched their 2021 Back-to-School Shop to help get kids ready for in-person school once again. With millions of unique outfit combinations for kids available to mix and match, the shop invites kids to customize, mix, match and express their individuality like never before. They have all the must-have brands like adidas, Crayola and S’well, and the shop will be live through September 15, 2021.
They also launched the 2021 Back-to-School Fashion Forecast, taken from their survey of 1,000 kids nationwide, that shows that this school year is looking very different than years past. Kids aren’t just dressing off the rack anymore, they are choosing clothing that’s anything but bland and boring. Instead, they are taking Back-to-School fashion into their own hands with personalization as the lead theme. Enter the #UniquelyZu contest from Zulily to help make fashion personal.
