Must-Have Kid Styles for Back-to-School!
When I was growing up, my favorite part of going back to school after a long summer break was going shopping for new fall clothes. It’s now easier than ever to find stylish kids’ clothes that are both affordable and cruelty-free. Score!

Stores like Old Navy, H&M, and Payless offer great kids’ styles at prices you just can’t beat. Believe it or not, everything featured on this page is under $50. (Yes, even the jackets and shoes!)
With so many adorable and animal-friendly clothing options, there’s no need to include animal skins in your child’s wardrobe this year. Most kids would be horrified if they knew that every year, millions of animals are killed for the clothing industry—all in the name of “fashion”. Whether the clothes come from Chinese fur farms, Indian slaughterhouses, or the Australian outback, an immeasurable amount of suffering goes into every fur-trimmed jacket, leather shoe, and wool sweater.
