I’m sorry to burst your bubble but schools are reopening soon. Back-to-school shopping is the second-biggest shopping season of the year. Moreover, the tension associated with back-to-school is overwhelming. Shoppers are faced with endless push factors like choice, price, quality etc. We all know our credit cards have recently recovered from a summer shopping hangover – and now another shopping season!!! If you’re not careful you might end up with wastage and a broken piggy bank. This especially applies to when shopping for clothing pieces. With social-media promoting fashion as a luxury pool, you might get lost in the deep madness and go for trends instead of necessities. To help you stay focused on the important things, I’m suggesting five fashion items that should be on your back-to-school shopping list. These include:

Backpack

If I’m not right, a backpack might just be the best selling fashion item during this time. With having backpack wearers ranging from young to old there are many reasons why this is a checklist-item on schoolers’ shopping list. But the most important one has to be its capability to carry all our stuff in the best possible organised way. Even though with time our taste changes, there are still backpacks available to suit our needs. There are so many colours, shapes, sizes, materials and styles offered in the market.  See below for my favourite backpack recommendation:

Tote

For those days when you want to go for the polished look but still want something practical, a tote bag is your catch. It is suitable for whether you have a light or heavy load. But be careful not to overfill it so your shoulder will not ache from it. Just like the backpack, tote bags come in all styles, shapes and sizes. A tote bag which heavily resemble the shopper bag allows you to easily reach in and grab things out. I understand there is a con that goes with that benefit too. That is, finding an item in your bag can turn into a treasure hunt. Hence, choose wisely when purchasing a tote. See below for my favourite tote bag recommendation:

Jeans

No school shopping isn’t complete without a few pairs of jeans. This staple piece can be dressed up or dress down. Since the colder months are just around the corner, waking up will take longer. A quick glance at the clock and you’ll hurry out of the bed. What do you think is the first item a student will pull from the closet? You guessed it right – jeans. Jeans are not only comfy but because of its composition, it helps keep your legs warm. Please see below my Jeans recommendation:

Slogan / Graphic t-shirt/sweatshirt

Jeans without a tee are like bread without the butter. Why not go all out this year with a bold statement top rather than a plain one! Having more people wanting to express their feelings, thoughts etc, a tee or sweatshirt that is embroidered with your opinion can be the entry point to lead you down that path. Moreover, if you’re new to a school, a statement tee can guarantee a conversation starter. Please see below my recommendation of tee/sweatshirt:

Sneaker

My final suggestion is the sneaker. What can I say about this game-changing accessory? Never in a million year, I would have imaged that rocking a sneaker can also make you look fashionable. I guess styles lies with comfort too 🙂  See below for my sneaker recommendation:
