Homeschooling Or Not: 21 Back To School Outfits For All The Kids

Whether you are choosing to keep the kids at home, part-time in-school attendance, or full-time school this year, all the kids deserve some new back to school outfits. Sure, it’d be easy to school them in their pj’s and lounge around the house all-day, but to start a routine of getting up and dressed for your specific school activities ahead makes it more “real” and that the kids are indeed in school, even if it’s at home. These fashionable styles are incredibly cute, functional, budget-friendly, and most importantly, you won’t have to beg your kids to get dressed! When your children want to get dressed in their new back to school outfits, it makes your mornings as smooth as that first sip of coffee.

Homeschooling Or Not: 21 Back To School Outfits For All The Kids

Leggings aren’t going anywhere. They’re comfortable, stretchy, fit great across a wide range of ages, and come in an array of fun patterns, prints, and colors to fit any personality. And when it comes to fun fabrics to include with your back to school outfits, Terez is the best place to grab your back to school fashion.

Leopard print will never go out of style. And the Girls Leopard Goals Leggings are the perfect way to wear them. Pair the animal pattern with the Girls Twist Front Long Sleeve shirt in black and you’ve got a cool but warm outfit that you can also mix and match with other leggings/tops.

Kids can layer short sleeves throughout the year, but while it’s still warm it’s necessary. The Girls White Tie Front T-Shirt is the quint-essential wardrobe staple. It goes with almost any bottom, but we like it paired with the Girls Blue Python Leggings and the Girls Pink Confetti Stars print. Both are shiny, fun, and will keep your kid stylish throughout the year.

Janie and Jack

When looking for adorable preppy back to school outfits, there’s no reason to look any further than Janie and Jack. They have the cutest coordinating outfits with classic details, perfect for those First Day of School pictures. They design everything from blazers to bows in materials and styles that last.

BraBar

If you have a tween or teenage girl, back-to-school shopping may have taken an interesting turn this school year. With the emergence of breasts, her clothes may not fit the way they used to. Furthermore, you may notice that your once happy-go-lucky child is now hunching over and avoiding eye contact. Hormones have taken over and life as you formally knew it is over. Add that to the overwhelming stress of Covid-19 and virtual learning, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for some traditional teenage angst.

While we can’t solve all the world’s problems for our teenage girls, BRABAR does solve at least one problem. BraBar is the destination for girls (and their moms) to easily find their proper bra size, as well as find bras that will allow them to get back to doing all the things they love doing, no matter what the world looks like.

Featuring band sizes from 28 to 38 and fit “snug like a hug,” BRABAR believes that your bra should fit like a strapless bra, hugging your ribcage — not hanging from your shoulders. And while their target market is tweens and teens, we find these bras are so comfortable that moms will probably like them too. In fact, here’s a few of our favorites.

We are obsessed with the BRABAR’s Soft V Lace Reversible Bralette. This soft bralette has a pretty v neckline, supportive comfy design, beautiful lace details, and a light removable pad that allows for modesty. It’s a pretty bra, don’t get us wrong, especially since it’s reversible, but what we really love is that it is super soft and supportive. Stretchy and soft, the Soft V Lace Bralette is available in six colors for cup sizes A – DDD cups, and makes this the perfect choice for day or night since it moves easily with you no matter what you’re wearing.

Another one of our BRABAR favorites is the Soft V Crop Bralette. Much like what you’d expect from a “sports bra,” (for low to medium impact) this bralette is double layered and wire-free, which means supportive and comfortable without the wire. With a V neckline and tank shoulder strap, this bralette has a reversible design so you can easily pair with your favorite t-shirt, sweater, hoodie, or blouse depending on the neckline. And because it’s seamless and unlined, you may forget you’re even wearing this smooth ultra-soft stretch double-ply crop top bra. Great as a sleep bra, sports bra, or for lounging or going out, this is a great bra for tweens who are just starting to wear bras, but we think every girl will want at least one in their bra drawer.

Bodies will continue to change and grow, with or without a pandemic.
