Fresh ink, crisp stationary, and the faint smell of disinfectant can only mean one thing: It’s back-to-school season. And more important than nailing your “What’s In My Backpack” segment is nailing your wardrobe.
Think about it: Everyday, you get to wake up at an ungodly hour and really put that shit on for all of your friends, foes, and prospective crushes to see. Sure, you’re in school to learn, but how much knowledge can you really absorb if your fashion diet consists of sad, ratty threads?
In preparation for the coming school year, we—your somewhat-educated fashion friends—have pulled together a dean’s list-worth of back-to-school clothes so you’ll never brick a fit. Take this less as a set of strict rules and more as a syllabus of the areas you should cover for the year ahead.
