Best Back To School Clothes That Are Versatile
Back to school will be sneaking up sooner than you think! No one likes rummaging around in the morning desperately searching for something to wear when you have ten minutes to make it to class. Here is our list of the best back to school clothes that are super versatile. They’ll make your morning routine that much speedier and you can mix-and-match all of these options!
Jean Jacket
Everyone knows that jean jackets are incredibly stylish and totally versatile. Toss it over your little black dress to create an iconic going out look, throw it over top of a striped t-shirt for a casual feel, or put it on over a hoodie for some extra warmth in the cool autumn months. Jean jackets are warm enough to be worn in autumn and through into the winter! Out of all the back to school clothes on the market, a jean jacket is your best bet!
Bonus tip: if you’re bi, match it with cuffed jeans because matching denim is bi-culture (trust me, I’m an expert).

T-shirt Dress
Not only are these dresses ridiculously comfortable, but you can also create endless outfits with them. Toss that super cute jean jacket over your t-shirt dress and pair with a nice scarf to create a casual vibe or throw it under a blazer for a professional look. Layer it with a sweater over top for winter, wear a light cardigan with it for autumn, throw a long sleeve shirt underneath for spring, and wear it with a belt or a denim skirt over top for summer. The best part about this dress is that you can throw it on in the morning without makeup and still look put together!

Kimono Wrap
Who needs a cardigan when you have a kimono wrap? Kimono wraps are awesome because they can be a statement piece (if you get a patterned one) or they can be added on top of any outfit (if you get a solid colour). Try wearing a kimono wrap over a black t-shirt and jeans, over a strapless dress, or as a cover-up at the beach. The possibilities are endless and exciting with a kimono wrap!

Little Black Dress
Nothing says “back to school” like a party. A little black dress is a closet staple and an absolute necessity for your everyday needs. Going out after school and need something you can make fancy in a pinch? A little black dress is the answer! Pair it with a casual jacket during the day and then ditch it in your car for the party look. Need to get dressed quickly because you overslept your alarm (again)? Throw on that little black dress with some simple makeup and get out the door! Get yourself a little black dress and start living.

A Jumpsuit
Treat yourself to a super cute jumpsuit! Jumpsuits are totally perfect for the summer and winter months! Get yourself one with a simple pattern that you can easily pair with other items you have in your closet. Grab one in a versatile colour that can be worn in any season, like sandstone, olive green, or a dusty rose. Wear by itself with a tote bag for the summer or layer with a sweater or cardigan for autumn. In winter, wear with an oversized (sustainably gathered) fur coat. Jumpsuits are often a bit expensive, but it’s a good investment! You’ll be wearing this outfit all year long!

Denim Skirt
Do yourself a favour and buy or make a denim skirt. Not only are they super easy to find for super cheap, but they’re also incredibly easy to make. Just pick up a pair of jeans from a thrift store, grab an old pair of jeans, or ask your friends for any of their old jeans and get to sewing a denim skirt. Denim skirts are as versatile as denim pants and shorts and they can be dressed up or down. Wear with tights in the winter months and in the summer, pair it with a soft silk sleeveless shirt. You’ll be the envy of everyone on campus when you come back to school rocking a denim skirt!
