DD age 11 about to start high school, what are the trendy water bottles atm, preferably insulated but not too big or heavy like the Stanley?
Also what bags are the girls using now? Thanks

Chatting to someone recently with a year 8 it’s all longchamp bags!

My daughter has just finished Yr7 and honestly it’s not as much of a fashion show as I thought it would be.
Some girls started off with big handbag style bags, they soon realised these were not practical and made your shoulders hurt so by October most were using Nike backpacks.

Water bottles, she started with an Owala she got for her birthday but it got replaced by a Nike gym style water bottle as it fit in the bag better 🤷‍♀️

Water bottles - Owala, Chillis or Bottle Bottle! For budget options B&M and Home Bargains have loads

I think it entirely depends on the school and area, my sons school it’s not the done thing to have a reusable bottle like at primary and they all buy Radnor splash from the local shop 🙄 the boys have plain black Nike/Jordan/Adidas bags and the girls have river island bags. It depends entirely on the area, you’d probably be best parking nearby at home time and have a good nosey!

oh editing to say just looked at the date you posted 😜 I’m a bit late with advice!
