Back-to-School Style with Jayme Sy
As the back-to-school season rolls around, it’s the perfect time to revamp wardrobes and explore new styles. This year, Bay Area mom Jayme Sy and her family were interviewed by MOTHER magazine to showcase their vibrant, school-ready looks. From bold frames to eclectic outfits, Jayme and her family offer a fresh perspective on embracing individuality and fun while staying comfortable.
Family Fashion
Jayme Sy’s style is anything but ordinary. Known for her thrift-loving, eclectic taste, Jayme combines playful patterns, vibrant colors, and sustainable fashion choices to create standout outfits. Her personal style is a mix of vintage charm and modern flair, a reflection of her passion for thrifting and upcycling.
“My outfits for school drop-off are usually toned down but still quirky, fun, and super comfortable,” Jayme shares. This approach ensures she looks stylish without sacrificing ease. She pairs oversized green sunglasses with her outfits, showing how a single accessory can elevate a look.
Enhancing Every Look
Zenni’s frames are an integral part of the family’s back-to-school fashion. Jayme and her family selected a range of Zenni glasses that complement their vibrant outfits while offering practical benefits. From classic shapes to funky designs, the frames not only enhance their style but also include Zenni’s new Blokz blue light blocking lenses, essential for today’s screen-heavy lifestyle.
Jayme’s choice of Zenni frames reflects her eclectic taste. She’s particularly excited about the Iris Apfel collection, which features oversized granny frames that perfectly match her style. Her husband, Stefano, opts for orange aviators, which provide a blend of boldness and subtlety, ideal for a socially anxious dad navigating school drop-offs.
Embracing Personal Style and Sustainability
For Jayme, back-to-school shopping is an opportunity to blend personal style with sustainability. “We go through their closet together, assess what we need, and always start with thrifting,” she explains. This practice allows her to teach her children about sustainable fashion while finding unique pieces that reflect their personalities.
Sol is drawn to Y2K sleek frames with green Blokz lenses, reminiscent of his favorite video game, while Leo Love loves glittery pink frames that align with her love for all things sparkly. These frames not only serve a functional purpose but also align with the kids’ personal tastes and preferences.

Fashion Philosophy
Jayme’s style philosophy centers around casual comfort and bold individuality, with an emphasis on sustainability. She believes that accessories play a crucial role in transforming an outfit and boosting confidence. “Accessories have the power to totally transform an outfit. It takes one standout piece to boost your confidence and help you fully embrace your own style,” she says.
This philosophy extends to her children as well. By encouraging them to experiment with their style and express themselves creatively, Jayme fosters a sense of confidence and self-worth. “I see their inner confidence shining through when they strut out of the house in an outfit that makes them feel unstoppable,” she adds.
