Whether you are a student starting a new semester this fall or an office-going woman. These 5 back to school outfits will help you look effortlessly chic
I was a neatly dressed student when I was in college. I can’t remember ever wearing yoga pants or flip-flops to class. Jeans, cardigans, and shirts were my best friend and they still tend to dominate my wardrobe. Whether you are a student starting a new semester this fall or an office-going woman. These 5 back to school outfits will help you look effortlessly chic but before that let’s talk about the basic pieces that you should add to your back-to-school shopping list
Back To School Outfits Basics
- Tops- Flannel shirts, Striped tees, lightweight sweaters, logo tees, and Jumpsuits
- Outwear- Bomber jacket (on trend for Fall), Denim jacket, long cardigans
- Bottoms- Skinny jeans, Boyfriend jeans, Joggers, pleated skirts and tie-waist pants
- Shoes- All these outfits will look great with Converse or vans or any sneakers you have preferably in white. I wore different shoes to give you options. Boots in cognac and sand/beige will also go well with all these outfits
- Accessories- Backpacks, cross-body bags, and totes in neutral shades will go well with all these outfits.
Here are the 5 back to school outfits I put together with pieces under $40. I have listed similar accessories for the ones more than $40
