Back to School Style: What to Wear in the First Few Days

Going back to school is rarely smooth sailing, so it's important to start it in comfy sneakers. But you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort: a good pair can handle rushing around school, hanging out with your mates at break and all your after-school plans too.

What to wear in the first few days?

1. Oversized tee and cargo trousers

A Back to School essential. An oversized tee with a logo or graphic, a pair of comfy cargo trousers – and your effortless streetwear look is good to go.

2. Hoodie or crewneck

On autumn mornings, a hoodie or a clean crewneck comes in handy. It's easy to pair with jeans or joggers.

Sneakers that carry the fit

An outfit is never complete without a good pair of sneakers. The classic white sneaker is an all-time favourite, but don't be afraid to go for a statement pair.

Accessories

A cap, a side bag or an eye-catching waist bag will liven up your first-day fits – and they're practical too.

Must-have sneakers and accessories

A streetwear fit always starts with the sneakers. For your first few days, pick a pair that suits your style but stays comfy all day long:

• White sneakers – classic and go with everything. (e.g. Nike Air Force 1)
• Retro models – '90s styles are back on trend. (e.g. New Balance 550)
• Chunky sneakers – a bold choice that makes you stand out from the crowd. (e.g. Nike Rope Lace)

Accessories to level up your fit:

• Cap or bucket hat
• Side bag or waist bag
• Minimalist jewellery – like a silver chain or bracelet

Layering tips for autumn weather

Autumn is unpredictable: chilly in the morning, warm in the afternoon. That's when layering is key.

• Pair a tee with a hoodie and throw a denim jacket or bomber over the top.
• Stick to basic colours for the base and liven it up with bold accessories.
• Don't be afraid to mix textures: denim, cotton, canvas and technical fabrics all look great together.
