• Recycled Thrift - Make something new out of the old! Mix new patterns and textures to create a retro military-inspired look; experiment with logo tees and vintage shirts over cargo pants; an Army-look jacket from Arizona will complete this reinvented silhouette. For that laid-back look, American Living young men's will be his go-to fashion label this season. Plaid and flannel shirts, worn-in denim, cargo shorts, and waffle tees allow him to create head-to-toe style statements! Underscore the retro vibe with plaid, embellishment and vintage prints found in hoodies, polos and tees throughout JCPenney's Arizona collection. The 539 Eco straight by Levi's elevate his cool-factor.

Must-have fashion trends for Boys and Girls:
Whether they're strutting style in school uniforms, preppy American Living or tried and true Arizona separates, there are three statement-making trends for kids this fall: embellishment, denim and color. Trend-savvy shoppers will seek embellishment on all apparel, from flocking, to studs, to allover prints. Denim also tops the trend list with special washes and finishes and fit options for boys and girls. And last, but not least, is the trend to wear rainbow bright hues for both boys and girls in tops and bottoms.

Must-have style for dorms:
Leaving home for the first time? Dorm Life combines style with utility. From bedroom basics to trendy trimmings, Dorm Life provides room decor to fit the needs of each and every college student.

• For today's design-savvy young adults decorating their first home, start with Extra-Long Twin Sheets in solids or stripes in boy blue, bright olive, cool fuchsia and seal brown. Top off your bed with a Reversible Comforter Set, allowing you to instantly transform the look of your room -- go from bold stripes or plaid to bright solids with a simple flip of your comforter! Add decorative pillows like the Cheyenne or Laser Print Pillows for a fun colorful element.

• Don't forget dorm basics that every student needs: Bedroll Pillows and bedrests are best-sellers every year. Coordinating shower curtains, bath rugs and towel sets come in masculine and feminine tones. Finally, grab a waterproof Bath Tote to store shower essentials - with eight pockets, organization is easy!

• Furniture for your dorm or first apartment should start with the simple Chrome Leg Desk and Acrylic Chair, suitable for any room, while Ottomans with Hidden Storage help you stay organized and keep your room clutter-free.

• Dorm Life accent pieces add a touch of your personality into every room. Mirrored Clocks are not only trendy, but will get you to class on-time and looking your best! Brightly Colored Paper Lanterns and Faux Fur Butterfly Chairs are sure to help you create the right look; or for the sophisticated shopper, a solid black Rolling Rocker and Sunburst Wall Clock are a cool way to go. Show your school spirit with NCAA Bean Bags and Accent Lamps printed with your school's logo and add Wall Art (available in sets of four) in different colors and patterns to spice up the walls in the design of your choice!
