Fall Fashion Ideas For Your Back To School Wardrobe
Oh man, back to school starts in T-minus two months. And that means it’s time to buckle in and get your back to school wardrobe ready for that dreaded day. Because if you have to go to school, you’re going to look good doing it.
Lucky for all of us, there’s plenty of great, easy to accomplish styles on fire this fall, and all are surprisingly comfortable, which we hope becomes a recurring trend (or at the very least stay along for a while).
So, to help in your shopping, here are some styles and ideas that you should watch out for, plus a few tips on how to style them.
Layered florals
If you happen to be from a school that insists on the “three-finger rule” or strict dress code, layer your thin-strapped sundress with a tank underneath. It’ll look chic and won’t get you in trouble.

Suits
If you happened to have purchased a suit during the summer for a job or internship, here’s the perfect way to recycle it. Add a graphic tee and some big earrings for a hip-hop 90s vibe.
Get the look:
Tie-dye
Tie-dye will go with anything and is basically the rainbow version of black and white stripes. It’s perfect for matching with everything in your wardrobe, and you’ll never regret investing in it. Plus, you can either go full 80s with some mom jeans or a little more modern with some white skinnies.

Retro prints
Now, this is 80s vibe for sure, but you’ll look super cute doing so. Take a cheesy vintage top from a thrift store (or even a crazy one your bf wears) and tuck it into some jeans. Instant cute outfit.

Statement pants
While everyone else is out here making their plaid pants look grungy, make your plaid pants (or bold pattern pants) a little more prep. Go full Cher from Clueless. Everyone will thank you for it.

Over-sized blazer
Whilst also being extremely comfortable, over-sized blazers are perfect for days where you just want to throw something on but still look fashionable. With a white tee and jeans, you’ll look effortlessly good.

Patchwork denim
We’ve talked about the 90s and 80s, now it’s time for the 70s. Patchwork denim is perfect for laid back school wardrobe because it doesn’t take much to pull off, and isn’t even more expensive than a denim shirt.
Bold stripes
Bold stripes are just fun in general and are really easy to pair with basically everything. A great look to try would be a bold striped dress below a bold colored cropped sweater.

Or, layer the dress with a white shirt underneath for a bit of a Rachel from Friends vibe. The bold stripes will look great with the monochrome.

Girly mini-dress
Dress your summer mini-dress with some cute flats or go for a little punk tilt and style it with some snakeskin boots or Doc Martens. It’ll look super cute, and pretty practical for fall weather shoe wise.
Get the look:
Boho overalls
Style your favorite summer overalls with your fall staples, and you’ll immediately pull off the cute, effortless boho look. We’re talking embroidered sweaters, oversized knit sweaters, or even a turtleneck shirt.

Cutesy tomboy
Tomboy looks are really in style right now, especially when you pair laid-back athletics clothing together (plus it’s really comfortable). That means mesh shirts, layered shirts with built-in sports bras, athletic bombers, and the works. The best way to kick start this style in your wardrobe is to invest in a sporty bomber, which is usually pretty cheap and can be found basically everywhere.
