One way to look forward to ending summer break and getting in the mood for back to school is fashion. It is never too late to look for back to school clothes! The seasons are always changing, and you need to have the right clothes to get through.

Shopping online can give you plenty of ideas, but visiting a store and trying on clothes can be a much better experience than viewing models wearing clothing on a computer screen. Los Angeles has plenty of shopping malls that can direct struggling stylish students to the newest trends.

American Eagle Outfitters is an easy choice for finding trendy clothes with a laid-back appeal. Men and women can find jeans and shorts with light button down shirts that are light-colored and lightly fabricated for the summer weather and a summer feel. Necklaces and other jewelry suited for men and women can also add to a beachy aura.

Forever 21 and H&M can be found in near proximity in shopping centers like 'Old Town Pasadena', 'The Americana' in Glendale, and 'Fashion Island' in Orange County. Both shops show trendy and affordable styles for men and women from casual to semi formal wear.

Carrying a range of all of the basic necessities, such as T-shirts and shorts, stores like Target and Macy’s are the simple, easy, yet stylish choices, with both stores carrying a variety of trends. Affordable garments range from athletic gear to seasonal favorites. Large department carry a multitude of options like colorful and printed jeans, shorts, shirts, and dresses. Stores are located throughout the L.A. area.

Finally, though many may argue that Urban Outfitters is known for its hipster style, the store also offers more mainstream alternatives. Men can find T-shirts with different neck cuts or even some with their favorite movie’s characters printed, plain and colorful button downs, and plenty of denim. Women have a wider variety with dresses, skirts, shorts, feminine and edgy shirts, cardigans fashionable for all seasons, and sweaters for cool fall days or cold winter nights. Men and women can find a variety of T-shirts and sweaters of their favorite band/musicians. Urban Outfitters is good for those who enjoy lively and animated fashion. Some pieces may be pricey, but the sale section is always on-point.
