As a busy wife, mother and small business owner, quality and value is very important to me.  Looking for ways to save money without sacrificing quality is an element that most families share.  Kohl’s, a leading specialty department store with 1,160 stores in 49 states offering national and exclusive brands and savings, is helping families with their back-to-school shopping with their Office Max partnership.  OfficeMax and Kohl’s department stores have partnered to offer shoppers select school supplies in Kohl’s stores nationwide, making it easy and convenient for parents and students to get what they need this back-to-school season.

CLOTHING

Kohl’s VP of Trend, Sofia Wacksman, describes key fashion trends for back-to-school that are available at Kohl’s:

School of Rock “Femininity is infused with an edgy, rock-and-roll vibe this back-to-school season,” says Sofia Wacksman, VP of Trend for Kohl’s Department Stores. “Mix dark grounded florals with not-so-traditional plaids or pair lace with leather or reworked denim. We love the look of a girly vintage-inspired floral dress worn with an oversized cardigan and leather moto boots.”

Style Trip “Liven up your look by experimenting with global-inspired prints and mixing different textures,” says Sofia Wacksman, VP of Trend for Kohl’s Department Stores. “Take a nod from the runway this school year and pair your denim with saturated brights in tribal geos, mystical graphics and sheer tops with printed overlays. We love re-colored camo’s and animal prints, evil eye graphics and touches of fur.”

Color Pop “We always love color, especially for back-to-school.” says Sofia Wacksman, VP of Trend for Kohl’s Department Stores. “Oversized tees and sweatshirts in quirky conversational prints like lips, kitties and dots in bright highlighter hues are fun to wear with the perfect legging. Or pair colored denim with fun intarsia sweaters to stay on trend this season. Layer on the brights with mismatched bracelets or pop colored socks.”

Denim “Colored and printed denim are at the core of kids’ wardrobes,” says Sofia Wacksman, VP of Trend for Kohl’s Department Stores. “But we also love the comfy knit pant; a continuation of the athletic-chic trend that we’ve been seeing on the runways the last few seasons. Pair this relaxed pant silhouette with booties or wedge sneakers to create a cool and comfy back-to-school look.”

Accessories “This year, back-to-school accessories are all about having fun. Accessorize with bright colored bracelets, layer silly socks that don’t quite match, sport a quirky printed backpack, add some patches – all are an easy and affordable way to update your look without breaking the bank,” says Sofia Wacksman, VP of Trend for Kohl’s Department Stores. “Mix it up and make your own fashion story.”

DORM

Kohl’s VP of Home Trends, Ralph Snyder, describes key home and dorm trends for back-to-school season:

Color “Brighten up a boring dorm room with bright colored furniture and accessories,” says Ralph Snyder, VP of Home Trends at Kohl’s Department Stores. “Highlighter hues, including corals and teals are the top colors this back-to-school season. Ease into this trend by adding a pop of color with piping on butterfly chairs or go bold by accessorizing the room with a vibrant hued lamp, storage bin or comforter set.”

Prints & Patterns “Mixing prints and patterns is an easy way to make a dorm room or first apartment feel like your own,” says Ralph Snyder, VP of Home Trends at Kohl’s Department Stores. “Polka dots, Moroccan tile prints and tribal geos are the key prints this season. Create a global-chic space by adding a comforter, pouf or decorative pillow in your favorite pattern.”

Organization “Keeping a small dorm room neat can be a challenge,” says Ralph Snyder, VP of Home Trends at Kohl’s Department Stores. “But the right organizational products go a long way to create a fresh and welcoming room. Jewelry organizers, shoe racks & shower caddy’s in bright colors and fun prints help keep the space organized and updated.”
