Hot List 8.8.14: Back-to-School Edition
1. Actually, parents just do understand—that these Frank & Lu boys’ jeans in Jade Stone are seriously cool. $69. Roman & Leo, 8664 E. 116th St., Fishers, romanandleo.com
2. Dope’s “Splatter Tee” is our favorite item for guys in Pattern’s brand-new boutique thanks to its concealed hoodie-style front pocket. That’s some Hoosier ingenuity—the streetwear brand started in Bloomington before moving to Los Angeles. $46. Pattern, 877 Massachusetts Ave., patternindy.com/pattern-store
3. This season, crocheted shorts are everywhere (well, at least on young, toned legs). If they pass your school’s dress code, stock up on colors at Pitaya. $16. 842 Broad Ripple Ave., 317-465-0000, pitaya.com
4. School may be back in session, but swipe on Bite Beauty’s non-sticky fruity lip gloss, and it will still feel a little bit like summer. $22 each. Sephora, sephora.com for locations
5. Baggallini “Safari Bagg” crossbody has enough interior and exterior pockets for all of a teen’s necessities—and it’s lightweight, water-resistant, and easily washable. $99. The Container Store, 4120 E. 82nd St., 317-248-2225, containerstore.com
