It’s the rule of middle and high school years: every generation has its own unofficial uniform, along with its bunch of popular and stylish girls and boys. But teen dress codes are governed by particularly precise and arbitrary rules, which the adult world often fails to grasp. Just one color or one style can make them the happiest kids in the world… or a total flop. From Rochefoucauld to Fénelon, passing by Condorcet, Charlemagne, Jeanson or L’Alsacienne, what are the latest brands and fashion obsessions of stylish teens? The Do It Team investigated and delivers a selection that will definitely hit the mark.
Blair Waldorf
Straight out of Constance High School in Gossip Girl, this white long-sleeved blouse from Spanish brand Brownie is perfect for back-to-school. Romantic and delicate, it’s ideal for teens who love neat and feminine looks.
Studded satchel
The cool kids are crazy about this boho aesthetic straight from the 70s, with studded satchels becoming a new-age emblem. Stylish moms will easily find some at Brownie at mini prices to make their teen the trendiest in the schoolyard.
Lucky charms
Pendants from Fascinato are all the rage in the schoolyard. No wonder: cowboy boots, flaming hearts, and golden crosses are at the cutting edge of trends, and girls love customizing their jewelry with these little charms. Go all out with this charm bracelet that gathers the most beautiful ones!
The apple
Too cute, this shorts-and-top set borrows from sporty codes. Your teen will love lounging in this comfy fit and 100% cotton soft touch. Want to score extra points? Suggest she shows you her “apple dance” moves.
Perfect pitch
The ultimate in cool jewelry: ear cuffs, to layer on with earrings for a stacked effect. These Waekura models are a hit, and for good reason: water-resistant materials, and they clip on without piercing – very parent-friendly.
Kate Moss 2.0
Just look at the Parisian sidewalks: ballet flats still reign supreme. For a twist, shop these ruched square-toe models from Gina Tricot. Brown or red, let your teen decide.
The big comeback
As seen in Elle: the iconic Longchamp pliage bag is back on the arms of every high-school queen, especially in pink! So popular, the marshmallow shade is even sold out. Go for old rose to make the perfect back-to-school gift for your darling daughter.
Pilates core
It’s all about yoga pants – aka the new trendy joggers. Brandy Melville, the ultimate brand for teens in the 8th arrondissement, nailed it with this very Regina George model. Against whining, we surrender: it’s too important that your daughter stays stylish – even in PE class.
Cream puff
This is the brand that brought cashmere back into fashion: From Future lights up classrooms with colorful printed sweaters. Favorite pick: this ultra-girly model celebrating pink and sweet indulgence.
Frills galore
Your darling daughter will soon wonder what to wear to the first party of the year… Maybe this pretty black ruffled blouse will do the trick! Flirty and elegant, it’s available at Weekday, the temple of stylish teens.
Oversize
I’m just a girl in a world… the TikTok trend song is still stuck in her head. Surprise her with this super-cozy XXL hoodie that will keep her warm this fall and make her friends jealous.
Fake knit
The perfect mid-season piece: a light, soft knitted sweater. We love this Gina Tricot model with its cute patterns and extra-long sleeves – a very trendy detail. A playful touch that pairs well with her low-waist light baggy jeans and the Gerard Darel bag she’s gleefully stolen from you.
