KIDS’ STYLE : Minds of Their Own
In just a few weeks, mothers and fathers will find themselves explaining why summer’s baggy shorts and oversized T-shirts are not appropriate back-to-school dress. Then they’ll take their kids shopping. And to everyone’s surprise, Southern California stores will offer a wide range of looks for children to choose from--cowboy, country, kid-about-town. Peers, not parents, still dictate fashion trends, of course, but kids who are eager to develop their own personal style are sure to find it in the latest children’s clothing and furniture.
