Ah, August: the Sunday of summer. And with September fast approaching, the start of school is also right around the corner. To help you make the transition between the two, we’ve gone ahead and taken notes to get you ahead of the class in style.

Birkenstock Papillio Tabora

Start the school year off on the right foot with the charming Papillio Tabora from Birkenstock. Relaxed and comfortable, this stylish sandal features a durable Birko-Flor® synthetic upper with a versatile print that goes with everything. We also love the comfort of its contoured cork and latex footbed, as it molds to shape of your foot!

Adidas Foundation IV Backpack

Spacious and outfitted with features to help you stay organized, the Adidas Foundation IV Backpack is the perfect way to lug your textbooks, notebooks, and even a couple of water bottles! The durable material is a flattering shade of gray, but it’s also the perfect backdrop for a school year’s worth of pins and patches.

Levi’s 711 Skinny Jeans

What back-to-school list would be complete without Levi’s? The 711 Skinny Jeans feature on-trend frayed hems and deconstructed detailing for a chicly relaxed look. Demi-tuck your favorite graphic tee into the mid-rise waistband and voila: effortless style!

PUMA Women’s Classics Logo T7 Hoodie

Not every day can feature high style, but pulling on the PUMA Women’s Classics Logo T7 Hoodie manages to keep your low-key look elevated with its oversized fit and vintage-inspired logo. Being machine washable doesn’t hurt either!

Draped Shark Bite Cami

Soft-draping and featuring a shark bite hem, this everyday cami is the perfect essential for transitioning into your fall school wardrobe. Pair it with a cardigan and your favorite skinny jeans for an easy look that lets you hit ‘snooze’ for an extra worry-free 5 minutes!
