School just got out or so it feels but those yellow buses will be back in action soon. For parents and kids, back-to-school shopping presents that moment in time to ask what's needed, what fits and what's on everyone's must-have lists.

Talbots Kids is addressing these questions with a collection of clothes reflecting a combination of influences part preppy, part sporty and with a few re-mixes from the 80s and 70s.

Layered and faux layered looks are tops on kids' shopping lists and earn high grades from parents for their wear now, wear later value.

"The theme this year has an all-American vibe that's grounded by great basics that are functional and mix with ease," says Betsy Thompson, Talbots Kids fashion spokesperson.

"But basic is far from ordinary thanks to special touches, great colors and clean shapes. For girls watch for the unexpected and well-placed accent to keep things fresh and on trend. Boys will be boys in clothes that convey lived-in ease without being messy or stuffy."

According to Talbots Kids, the key trends for back-to-school include:
URBAN PREP:
For girls: corduroy city shorts in bright pink, navy, green or caramel embroidered with horses; argyle and cable cardigans, crisp white shirts and quilted jackets

For boys: classic polos worn alone, layered together or over a tee; return of the navy crewneck; argyle sweater vests worn over tattersal plaid shirts or crisp oxfords, corduroy pants, timeless khakis and twill shorts.
