Whether it's the lightweight fabrics for summer or cozy layers for winter, we have stylish back-to-school outfit ideas for every season!  

Trendy denim jackets, gorgeous cardigans and sweaters, stylish leggings, and fun graphic tops should be part of every cute outfits for school collection. However, you don’t want to forget these outfit ideas for school to round out your attire.

Denim Shorts

Every girl's wardrobe should have a pair of shorts for women made of denim. If the weather permits, these Delaney denim shorts are always an excellent choice when planning cute outfit ideas for school. If you want to add some extra style to your ensemble, try an off-the-shoulder shirt with a beautiful design for a fresh new-school-year look.

Try wearing your junior jeans shorts with a traditional white button shirt tucked in or knotted in the front to give them a total makeover. These offer cute outfits for high school life or simply hanging out with friends. A classic button-down is also an easy way to upgrade a casual look while still remaining comfortable.

Keeping up with the latest trends is essential for the fashion-savvy student, and these denim shorts are right on point for perfect back-to-school outfits.

Distressed Jeans

With UNIONBAY, finding cute back-to-school clothes has never been easier, especially with fall options like distressed Hart slim jeans that pair perfectly with various tastes, accessories, and styles.

UNIONBAY's distressed Hart slim jeans with an above-the-ankle crop and raw hem are a totally on-trend look to add to your high school outfits. Combine your ripped jeans for women with a pullover and some casual sneakers for a modern, stylish appearance. If you're heading to college and are looking to make a stylish entrance with your cute back-to-school outfits, pair your distressed jeans with a blanket scarf, suede boots, and an oversized purse for a comfy, snug outfit.

Casual Jackets

A trend in cute jackets is a button-front casual jacket with fitted details such as a smocked hem at the waistline or pockets with button closures. Jackets with front buttons are available in various materials and are suitable for both warm and cold weather. They feature a laid-back vibe and are ideal for layering with your middle school outfits. You can mix and match with various outfits thanks to patterns that range from plain colors to stripes.

Zip-Front Jackets

Zip fastening is more informal than buttons, making it great for casual outfits that don't need to be overly done up. Girl’s zip-front jackets come in a variety of styles, too. You can find zip-front jackets in both lightweight seasonal windbreakers and bulkier winter versions.

Cool Back-to-School Looks for Girls

Classic Style

Well-fitted jeans are a must-have for any back-to-school outfit. They're comfy, and they look fantastic with nearly every top. Take a cue from your own closet and give her a pair of light-hued casual sneakers. With a designer roller backpack, she can carry her essentials in style.

Preppy Style

Your little one will be overjoyed to return to school in adorable attire that has a preppy vibe. Combine a cute dress, bright cardigan, and white sneakers to create a preppy, but not excessively formal look. The best thing about preppy styles is that they can also be casual. Mix and match items to find the perfect balance between the two.

Relaxed Style

Not every girl likes to wear skirts and dresses. If that’s true for your daughter, choose pieces that are attractive and comfy instead. Boyfriend slim jeans are hot right now (they're super cute when the bottoms are cuffed!). There's no wrong way to express your style; these slim boyfriend jeans prove it! They also look great with a striped shirt and some running sneakers. With a sling-style bag, she'll be ready to take on another year of school in a retro-sporty ensemble.

School Uniform Style

The school uniform style has finally made it back into mainstream fashion. Even if your child doesn’t attend a school where uniforms are required, adding styles that are uniform-like make getting dressed easy, as there’s no need to worry about what matches. Your daughter can quickly grab a tag-free cotton polo and flexible twill skort and be ready to go! Don’t forget to combine them with some comfortable running shoes that are ideal for jogging during gym or recess.
