From toddlers preparing for preschool to teenagers who are in the throes of defining their own personal style, these photos capture the excitement of  NYC-area kids (and parents) getting ready for that first day.

"I like to wear more casual clothes—usually kind of soft clothes in colors like gray and blue. I like Uniqlo and N. Hoolywood. My mother's friend represents that line and she gave me some of the clothing, like this golf jacket. I also really like Mr. Gray socks."

"My dad gives me a lot of his old BAPE stuff. I like wearing BAPE because not a lot of people have it. I don't really wear Supreme. I'm not a sneakerhead; I don't wear Jordans."

"I wear a lot of blue. I like obscure Japanese brands. I wear things that don't stand out, but are unique in their own way—like these Hill-Side x Kaptain Sunshine sneakers. I have a friend that says I dress like a dad."
