A dress to class? Absolutely! And while you could wear this adorable pink maxi dress on its own, you can also give it a laid-back vibe by styling it with an oversized flannel shirt and some casual sneakers like Converse.

11. Mini Dress & A T-Shirt

There’s no doubt that mini dresses are cute, but they’re not always the easiest clothing item to wear to school. Make your mini dress more “classroom appropriate” by layering it over a simple t-shirt. Not only is this layered look stylish, but it helps make your outfit a bit more casual –– this outfit combination works especially well with dresses featuring plaid and floral prints.

Bring the look together with either ankle booties or white low-top sneakers.

12. Shacket & Denim Mini Skirt

Shackets have become a total must-have, in my opinion, especially ones that feature a plaid or checked print. You can wear them with jeans for a super casual look, or with a mini skirt for a cute, feminine vibe instead. A denim mini skirt is a good option for school, which you can easily style with t-shirts, sweaters, and cardigans (in addition to shackets, of course).

Classy Back-to-School Outfits

Is your vibe more classy? Good news — classy, chic pieces are especially “in” this season. Opt for pieces that are timeless, like blazers, collared tops, and loafers, to nail this look.

This season, classic, preppy, school uniform-inspired looks are a major fashion trend, which couldn’t be more perfect for back-to-school!

Channel your inner Gossip Girl character with a classy plaid blazer, pleated mini skirt, and polo top. You can make the outfit look more casual by pairing it with a baseball hat and sneakers or try some loafers, which are another big trend this season.
