Not sure how it happened, but here I am already talking about back to school outfits! I wanted to share my Kohl’s Back to School style essentials with you all because we are fast approaching a brand new school year, and back to school shopping is my absolute favorite! Even though I graduated from UCLA last year, I think some part of me will always want to go back to school shopping. There’s nothing that feels better than when you show up to campus feeling confident and stylish in your fresh new clothes, am I right? I partnered with Kohl’s for this post because I love how affordable their prices are and they always have the latest trends at super affordable prices!
As if Kohl’s awesome prices weren’t already good enough, they have a Back to School discount to help you get ready for the school year! From 8/2-8/18, you can get $10 off your $50 purchase, and this can be used on all SO clothing, including the pieces I’m featuring in today’s post!
My Kohl’s Back to School Style Essentials:
When thinking about back to school shopping, I think it’s important to really have some great basic pieces that you can mix and match many different ways and wear for multiple situations. When you’re living in a dorm, you don’t have a huge closet to work with, so maximizing your pieces is essential! My Kohl’s back to school essentials include a camisole, fun striped cardigan, sporty varsity tee-shirt, high waisted jeggings, a fun dress that can go from day to night, some bermuda shorts to get you through the hot months, and a flannel button down. Here’s the breakdown of my favorite pieces for back to school as told through three different looks.
Kohl’s Back to School Outfit Idea 1: Keep it Casual
First thing’s first: you gotta go to class! I love this casual/sporty look because its a great option for when you’re running around campus going to class or hitting up a study session. The sporty vibe of this outfit also makes it perfect for game day too! Here in Southern California, it stays pretty warm well into the fall semester, so these denim bermuda shorts are the perfect trendy and practical item to keep you cool while running around. If you’re like me and you don’t love wearing short shorts when going to class, a longer short like the bermudas are great for that. I also styled the flannel button down as tied around my waist, and this was a trick I employed a ton while in school. You never know what classroom is going to be blasting AC, so when you’ve got your flannel handy, you won’t be shivering while trying to take notes and pay attention!
Kohl’s Back to School Outfit Idea 2: Boho Chic
Boho style is my fall go-to look on campus. I find that it’s the perfect way to look stylish and chic without having to think or try too hard. This striped duster cardigan is such a great layering piece and it really makes any outfit you throw it over. It really transformed what was otherwise a basic camisole and jeans look into something fun and funky. Of course, I’m rocking my camisole that is a wardrobe staple, along with these amazing jeggings. These jeggings are super comfy and I love that they have the added cargo pockets on the legs, it really makes them feel more unique.
Kohl’s Back to School Outfit Idea 3: Day to Night
In life, there are situations where you want to be casual and comfy during the day and then easily flip your look into something more festive for the evening. I spotted this dress and knew that I had to grab it because it is perfect for that purpose! It works so well as a daytime dress to pair with sneakers, but then it’s so easy to wear it out to a party, date night, or dinner with friends later in the evening.
How’s that for versatility?!
