25+ outfits every kid will want to rock on the first day of school

You can literally never go wrong with a tee shirt and jeans. A go-to source for all things basic (in the good way), Primary stocks a rainbow of colors in quality fabrics that really hold up.

We can never resist the retro vibes of a baseball tee! Hanna Andersson has an awesome fall collection that features bold colors and cool vintage-inspired graphics that kids and parents will both love.

Is there anything more timeless than a denim jacket? Gap has been perfecting theirs for decades.

​Mamas of messy kiddos rejoice! The brilliant tees from Good Day Lab look just like regular shirts but are armed with superpowers: The cotton fabric repels liquids to to prevent stains from ever setting in! From lunchtime disasters to art class antics, stained clothes are a thing of the past.

Back to business this year. Better look the part, kiddos! The three-button classic comes in a ton of fun colors to keep on rotation.

Pandas? Check. Rollerskates? Check. Sparkles? Yup. Looks like this one checks all the boxes of awesomeness.

An adorable chambray top is the perfect way to elevate the leggings lifestyle.

Three little buttons give this henley a more sophisticated look than your everyday graphic tee without being too stuffy. (Price is for a three-pack.)

The perfect piece to have on hand for chilly classrooms and a turn of seasons.

Fun pops of color and a fabric that won’t pill after one wash makes the cozy hoodies from Hanna Andersson a total slam dunk.

Stock up on these affordable basics and outfit building will be a breeze! They come in six soft colors they can wear all year long.

No wardrobe is complete without a favorite hoodie. (But maybe buy a couple because you know one is going to end up in the lost and found.)

A practical fall staple that never goes out of style!

If getting them out of their pjs is a struggle, maybe a dress made from the coziest pj fabric will help! Made with Little Sleepies signature viscose from bamboo fabric that’s breathable, hypoallergenic and oh-so-butter-soft, these twirly dresses (with pockets!) are a kiddo’s wardrobe dreams come true.

Jungle vibes for the jungle gym! We love this crisp adventure-ready frock which packs plenty of pockets to stash their playground finds.

You know those childhood outfits you remember for the rest of your life? This super cute number is likely to be one of those for her.

Never underestimate the versatility of a cotton dress! It’s perfect solo for the hot days and when the temps dip, pair it with leggings and cardigan. Voila! A four season staple.

Special without being fussy, this organic cotton frock is a great contender for school picture day. (Or you know, just the barrage of photos you’re going to take on day one.)

Play dresses in fun and funky prints are always a winner. This budget-friendly number from H&M is a perennial favorite and comes in a variety of kid-approved patterns.

Overalls, but make it fancy. This black denim skirtall transitions into fall wear with a pair of tights or leggings underneath.

If jeans or pants with buttons aren’t their thing but you’ve grown weary of sweatpants, these lightweight joggers will make everyone happy. They’re sold as a two-pack and come in a great selection of easy-to-pair colors

Ok, ok. Sweatpants aren’t canceled. These so-hip-it-hurts biker joggers from Target are a must-have in every shade.

And one more option because that pattern is just too hard to resist. This durable pair from Tea Collection makes a great case for pattern mixing–a fashion choice kids excel at!

Kids are notoriously hard on their clothes and often the knees take the brunt of the abuse. These super cool slim sweats from the always-awesome Hanna Andersson feature an extra layer right where it counts so they can play hard without getting holes before the leaves fall.

You can’t beat Old Navy’s Karate Denim. Designed with an extra bit of stretch in their patented Built-In Tough fabric, they’re comfortable and indestructible.

An everyday favorite, but make it fun. We love Primary’s long-lasting leggings in every form, but there’s something about stripes that’s extra irresistible.

From math class to soccer practice, these sporty leggings will keep up with a busy day (and pair perfectly with long tunic-style hoodies!)
