A Back-to-School Outfit Guide Kids Actually Love

Can you believe it's already back-to-school time? Kids somehow manage to outgrow half their wardrobe overnight, and suddenly we're looking at their closet thinking, What are they going to wear to school?

We've rounded up some of our favorite back-to-school fashion ideas from Hatley and Deux par Deux to help you get your little ones ready for the new school year.

Start With Comfortable Clothes 

An easy everyday top that works with jeans, joggers, or shorts. This is the kind of piece you can throw on when you're trying to get everyone out the door in the morning

This Twisted Sleeve T-Shirt makes getting dressed fun while keeping comfort a priority, making it perfect for school, playground adventures, and casual summer outings.

A Special First-Day Outfit

A cute dress, a patterned top, a stylish sweater, or a fun matching outfit can make them feel excited and confident as they head back to the classroom.

Layer for Changing Weather

September mornings can be chilly, while afternoons can still feel like summer. This is where layering becomes your best friend.

Keep a few lightweight sweaters, cardigans, hoodies, and jackets handy so your child can easily add a layer in the morning and take it off later.

Rainy Days Are Coming

A good raincoat and rain boots are essentials for fall. Not only do they keep little ones dry, but a fun print or colour can make rainy mornings a little more exciting.

Save yourself the battle!

Give them a few options and let them choose. Deux par Deux is a great place to find playful, colorful pieces that let kids' personalities come through.

Our mom tip: Do a little outfit planning on Sunday. One less decision to make at 7:30 a.m. is always a good thing!

Add a Few Fun Extras

Sometimes it's the little things that make an outfit feel special.
