STYLING GUIDE: 4 Back to School Staples

When you're building a back to school wardrobe, it's vital to have a few staples that can be styled with any outfit to carry you through the season. Here are a few pieces that are sure to elevate your school style!

A STATEMENT JACKET

A statement jacket like this gold quilted bomber will elevate even the most basic outfits. Wear it over a sundress, or a crop top and high waisted jeans like we've shown here. You can have a jacket like this on repeat with different looks underneath and it becomes your signature for the season!
​
A CUTE CAP

A cap is the perfect accessory - style it with something unexpected like a more formal outfit and your whole look will feel more dressed down and school appropriate. And then, of course, for a day when you don't feel like washing your hair, a cap is your best friend! Freshen up your ends with some dry shampoo or a quick curl, and use your cap to cover up the roots. Who doesn't want to be ready for the day in five minutes flat?!

CURRENT TRENDS

For a look that feels very "now", sprinkle some current trends like this lace-up top into your wardrobe. You'll be able to pair them with last year's basics and breathe some new life into them!

​A LEATHER BACKPACK

This year, try carrying your school essentials in a vintage or designer backpack - there's no easier way to elevate anything you're wearing than by accessorizing with real quality pieces!
