Your Back to School Style Checklist

Calling all students: Back to school season is in full swing, but is your wardrobe ready for the new year? Luckily, it doesn’t take much for a successfully stylish semester — scroll through this back to school style checklist for everything you’ll need this fall!

Classic Jeans

You don’t have to be valedictorian to know that jeans are a no-brainer for back to school style! Play it safe with your tried-and-true favorite fit in a classic wash, or experiment with trending wide legs, embellishments and embroidery.

Statement Jacket

What’s cooler than being cool? Staying warm in a statement jacket. Made to be seen and perfect for drafty classrooms or chilly game nights, statement jackets are almost a cheat-code for a great outfit when you’re running behind schedule. It may still feel like summer outside, but don’t get left in the cold: a statement jacket is a must-have on your back to school style checklist!

All Day Sneakers

No back to school style checklist is complete without a fresh pair of sneakers to carry you through long days on campus. One comfortable pair is all you really need, but we wouldn’t blame you for building an entire roster — there are just too many options to choose from!

Back(Pack) to The Future

When you’re working on your wardrobe for the year ahead, don’t forget about the backpack! Basic and boring backpacks are a thing of the past with color blocking, prints, novelty shapes and cool textures. If backpacks still don’t fit into your vision of cool back to school style, oversized totes make for excellent alternatives.
