Back To School Outfits To Copy

Outfit #1: High + Wide Leg Striped Jeans

This outfit looks stylish but is easy to put together. Wear this to parent-teacher conferences or PTA meetings.

I love that the ruffles on the striped top make this dress pop! All of these outfits feature items that can transition from late summer to early fall – just like themthese jeanswhich have good reviews of beinglightweightagainsoft.

The layers are completely optional. I know it can be straight summer weather until October for some of you, so these outfits work with or without a jacket. But when it’s time for layers, this jacket is GREAT, right? The curved collar softens it and gives it more personality.

Outfit #2: Puff Sleeve Top + Barrel Leg Jeans

Like Outfit #1, this one is also a bit cute. Pairing a puff sleeve top with barrel leg jeans gives the outfit a modern and fresh twist.

I used sandals in this outfit idea, as it tends to be a bit warm despite being back to school. (Especially if you go back to school in early August, like our kids do. 😭) You can easily swap them outwoven flatsor slingbacks.

Outfit #3: Black Tee + Chino Wide Leg Pants

Some clothes are well placed.These pantsThey are a really popular color for fall and pair well withsimple black teethat’s recommended by PMT stylist Courtney. That’s rightthicknessbutsoftand good quality for the price! This tee is a huge fan favorite if you’re looking to update yours!

This outfit is VERY simple: just a t-shirt and chinos. Colored pants make a big difference in an outfit that feels more serious, even though it takes the same effort as wearing jeans or joggers. 😉 You’ll feel pulled together to pick you up from school without feeling overly tired.

Outfit #4: White Tank + Wide Leg Pants + Gauze Button Up

Chocolate colored pants also work well with a formal tank top and a summery gauze top. Igauze on topit would be the perfect layer for the hot back-to-school season and a bit of a change for fall – ityou are breathing welland of courseSUPER comfortablewearing it all day but not too much. Wear an open gauze shirt over a tank, as a light, breathable layer. (Great if you need a layer but a denim jacket is still too big.)

For jewelry, you can keep it simple with something like my go-with-everything gold necklace (HERE– get 20% off with code TAKE20). Or you can add a little personality withcolorful beaded necklaceshown in a dress!

Outfit #5: Striped Sweater + Barrel Leg Jeans

This dress uses a beach sweater, which is thin and perfect for warm weather – perfect for that first part of school when it’s still warm! This one has a loose knit so it should be very breathable, and people say it’s very cozy and soft.

Since the sweater is so classic, pair it with barrel leg jeans to give your outfit a modern twist. Again, layering with a coat is optional.

Outfit #6: Black Tank + Barrel Leg Jeans

I love this dress!! It uses a gauze upper as well, which is VERY SOFT – a great lightweight summer layer that you can bring into early fall. You can change the wash of the jeans to stay comfortable, but the barrel leg still adds that fresh and current element!
