Fashionable backpacks to school
In addition to ergonomics and health safety, a school backpack should be liked by its owner or owner. Especially when it comes to teenagers and high school students who prefer fashionable and stylish bags, often arguing and debating about their beauty with their parents. The latter should not forget that the child goes to and from school with a backpack every day, and, of course, it should be comfortable and please the eye of the student, not the parent.
Fashionable accents
Nowadays, stylish school backpacks are designed in a versatile urban style. Emphasized children's models - hot pink, bright blue, with simple and understandable prints like flowers and cats - have lost their relevance.
Beautiful youth bags can be very different: with an abstract or geometric print, with wide patterned shoulder straps, stylized as hipster or boho models, decorated with rivets, embroidery or embroidered with sequins. With the right dosage of decor and details, each piece can be stylish.
Of course, a backpack should reflect the character and style of its owner: an athlete will have one, and a young ballerina will have a completely different one.
The form
Most often, a school bag has a traditional rectangular shape with rounded corners. The rectangle can be either elongated or closer to a square. Square satchels look very original, especially from eco-leather with stylization for adult models. Square or inverted rectangle backpacks are ideal for short students, since such products do not rest on the lower back.
The oval shape is also common, however, the lower part of the oval is slightly wider than the upper one.This shape distributes the load on the child's spine in the most ergonomic and safe way. For younger students, it is better to choose models with a reinforced waterproof bottom and a pocket for a lunch box and a bottle of water.
Sequins
Sequins and sequins mainly attract girls, which is why many corresponding models of school bags have been developed for them. The outer side of the shoulder straps or pockets on the front panel can be embroidered with sequins. At the same time, the color of the backpack itself can be absolutely any - from iridescent rainbow to black (glossy or matte). Sequins can be combined with sequins, beads. A word can be composed of them or a picture can be laid out. And also rivets of various configurations are very popular in the decor of backpacks - both piercing and not.
Sequins can cover the entire outer surface of the bag (except for the back). Then you get a single canvas of shiny circles. One of the fashion trends is also the sequin stripe in such a way that when you move your hand over them, you get two different patterns.
Sequins can scratch - when choosing such a model, you need to make sure that the child will be comfortable with it, it will not injure the skin and cling to clothes.
Webbing
For junior and middle school students, you need to choose backpacks with soft and wide straps. They can be either completely fabric or with a soft filler to avoid chafing and pressure on the shoulders. Thin straps are not suitable for grades 5, 7, 8, because the children's spine is very fragile and easily injured.
Students in grades 9-11 can choose models with thinner straps, but they should also avoid backpacks with one shoulder or with very narrow straps. There are many academic subjects in any class, which means there are also textbooks and notebooks. A backpack with one shoulder will create an unnecessary skew of the case to one side, and thin straps will press on the shoulders and chafe them. The spine of a senior student is also not fully formed, therefore, unfortunately, it is possible to get a curvature due to improper distribution of the load very quickly.
It is still better to choose original models with wide shoulder straps decorated with prints or badges.
Ears and paws
Ears are a very popular item in accessories, and not only among younger students, but also among middle-level students. Cat ears can be present in hair ornaments, on the hoods of sweaters and jackets, and as a decoration for a school bag. However, an alternative to common felines can be original bunny ears, for example, on a backpack with a hare face.
Paws are another cute detail in portfolio decor. Often the ears and feet are used together. The colors of these backpacks can be any - from powdery pink to glossy black.
And also a unicorn horn is often found in the decor of portfolios. It is often combined with a matching rainbow-colored bag. The outer surface of such a model can be soft, "plush".
Schoolgirls of the junior and middle levels are very fond of such products.
Trending colors and patterns
Bright cage and Burberry cage (and, in general, almost any cage, including a shirt), stripes and polka dots - all these prints look great on a school bag. Monochromatic models made of eco-leather or eco-suede - white, denim, gray, beige or dark shades (for boys) are also always appropriate and do not go out of fashion.
True, it is customary to decorate modern portfolios with original fittings - wood, metal or high-quality plastic.
Fans of anime or cartoon prints may well choose a portfolio with the image of their favorite characters - there are more than enough of them on sale. Models with the world of Harry Potter and characters from books and films about him are always relevant.
Floral print with naturalistically traced roses and peonies, lilies and jasmine is also in fashion, but the tones should not be too pretentious. Newspaper drawing and comics are still relevant.
It is advisable for junior and middle school students to avoid too dark colors in the design of the portfolio. It is better to focus on noticeable, bright shades, especially if it is assumed that the child will move around alone in the dark. Better yet, choose models with reflective stripes. Psychologists do not recommend dark shades of portfolios also because the child may have a wrong attitude, the connection between study and dark color. It is better to evoke positive emotions with bright, joyful colors of school accessories.
Even for boys, for whom it is often customary to buy darker and more restrained things, you can pick up a large number of interesting prints and tones, avoiding the obviously achromatic ones.
Often the design on the bag reflects the hobbies of its owner. Girls who go in for figure skating or rhythmic gymnastics will have a silhouette of the corresponding athlete on their portfolio, a computer game lover will have gamer symbols, a book lover will have badges and stickers depicting their favorite characters and quotes from books.
Tips for choosing a stylish backpack
Versatility is one of the basic requirements for a school bag today. Very often, a student from school goes to additional classes, to a sports section or to dances, and everything you need should fit in a backpack. At the same time, the latter should not resemble a "mountaineer's backpack", and the child should not bend under its weight.
Therefore, an empty briefcase should be light - 600-700 g. This is possible thanks to the thin, but very durable fabrics from which bags for students are sewn today.
It is better if the back is rigid, with an orthopedic frame and ventilation, then the load on the spine will be distributed and the child will not get tired.
Briefcases for girls today tend to be small. Of course, it is clear that in any case all textbooks and notebooks should fit in them, but the bag should look neat and not bulky. In elementary schools, large folding models are often in demand, which are convenient to care for and wash them, but middle and high school levels carry medium-sized bags. It is better to dwell on products that can be washed in an automatic machine. And also models with water-repellent impregnation are always relevant - then notebooks and books will not be damaged in any bad weather, and the portfolio can be simply wiped with a damp cloth from dirt and dust.
You should pay attention to what pockets are present on the model, how well and firmly they are fastened, whether the contents can easily fall out of them. Most schoolchildren carry gadgets with them - from phones to tablets, so in order to avoid loss or theft, you should think about where these things will be. Better to stay on models with internal pockets for gadgets and keys, and put less valuable things in the front panel pockets. Then the parents will not have to worry about whether all the child's things are safe, and the student will be able to fully concentrate on the educational process.
When choosing a backpack, it is important to remember that this is still a thing for school, so it should not be overly sporty, deliberately glamorous or adult. Especially if the school has a strict uniform, and the requirements for it cannot be violated.
Nevertheless, a teenager can always add personality to a portfolio by decorating it with thematic icons or stickers in accordance with their hobbies.
