8 back-to-school wardrobe essentials you absolutely need
Going back to school? Whether its college, university or high school, going back to school can be pretty exciting. Not because you *love* studying (I mean, you might). The best part for us at least is getting to shop for brand new goodies before the upcoming school year! It’s always fun to get a few new pieces in your wardrobe, especially if you love them enough to have them on regular rotation. So, without further ado, here are some of the best back-to-school fashion essentials you should invest in. These pieces aren’t necessarily the hottest item on the runway, but they’re versatile, super fashionable and appropriate for your long days in class.
1. Perfect knit sweaters
September is a transitional season for those in North America and that means that the weather can be a little all over the place. For that reason, knit sweaters are certainly a wardrobe essential you will need throughout the year, but especially in the fall.
