9 Cute Back-To-School Outfits to Copy for Fall 2022

School is almost around the corner, and if you haven’t already planned your first day of school outfits and started thinking about your style this year, now is the time! Whether you’re headed back to school to see your best friends and favorite teachers, or you’re starting at a new school where you want to show off your sense of style, we’ve got ideas to help inspire your back-to-school outfits. 

Here are 9 super cute outfits to start the school year off right.

1. Striped T-Shirt Dress + Belt + Wire Rim Aviator Sunglasses

Because they are super versatile, t-shirt dresses are a great back-to-school item. For back to school while the weather is still warm, try styling your t-shirt dress with a belt to give it more shape. Once it gets a little cooler, pop on a pair of tights or tall boots and a jacket or cardigan and wear the dress unbelted for a cozier look. 

2. Color Block Crop Top + Distressed Jeans + High-Top Sneakers

We’ve been obsessed with Y2K fashion since, well, Y2K, so we are so excited to see this iconic era of style back on trend. Channel your favorite early 2000s Disney Channel characters, the “It” girls who walked the red carpet in denim, and wear all of the crop tops! This bright pink and orange color block long-sleeved top pops against light wash distressed jeans, and of course, this look ties together with a pair of iconic high-top sneakers. 

3. Floral Cutout Midi Dress + Chunky Cardigan Sweater + Lace-Up Boots/h2>

Dresses can be a little tricky when you’re at school since you want something you won’t have to constantly adjust. We love this simple and romantic micro-floral midi dress for the perfect length (plus a cute slit), and the perfectly seasonal lightweight, opaque material. To make this outfit autumn-appropriate, pair it with a chunky sweater and a pair of combat boots. 

4. Denim Overall Shorts + Oversized Button-Up Top + Slide Sandals

A good back-to-school outfit should be easy to style at a moment’s notice, and straddle the transition between summer and fall–that’s what we love about having a pair of denim overalls in our closet. Wear these shortalls with a simple tank top and cardigan or button-up top for a cute and casual cottagecore look.

5. Floral Print Sundress + Chunky Lace-Up Boots

 

6. Denim Jumpsuit + Platform Wedge Sandals

If you’re more into the retro look, this denim jumpsuit is an absolute must for your back-to-school wardrobe. Complete the look with a pair of platforms and a dad-style baseball hat and you’ll feel like you just stepped out of That 70s Show.

7. Ribbed Jumpsuit + Flatform Sneakers + Claw Clip

An easy jumpsuit and sneakers literally cannot go wrong, especially on a day when you’ll be busy, and don’t want to worry about making sure your fit stays looking fabulous. Effortless, sporty, cute, and comfy all at once, this look does it all. And with a simple pair of platform sneakers, you’ll be ready for whatever the day throws at you. Finish it off with a stylishly practical claw clip.

8. Striped Button-Up Top + Denim Shorts + Flatform Sneakers

Classic black and white, but make it grunge fashion! For a look that marries the edgy cool look with sophisticated style, opt for black denim, loose masculine tops, and comfortable footwear. In this outfit, we especially love the undertones of athleisure, which combined with grunge influence feels super modern and current.

9. Bright Bodysuit + Distressed White Jeans + Slides

Wearing white denim is a fun way to break up your usual blue jeans looks without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. Speaking of jeans: we’re into the baggier, wider-leg look these days. Sure, skinny jeans have their time and place, but we’re currently loving the looser style. Style white denim with a bright pop of color and simple shoes like mules or slides for a bougie minimalist vibe. Add a touch of ‘extraness’ by including a pair of sunglasses with this ‘fit.
