When Janis gave Cady Heron the rundown of the high school cliques in the cafeteria in Mean Girls, we all could find a piece of ourselves in at least one of those groups. So, being that school is right around the corner and it’s officially time for back-to-school shopping, we’ve got some looks for you to take notes from, regardless of where you fit in.
Smells like school spirit! Wear your school on your sleeve with a letterman jacket or a long-sleeve sweatshirt that’s fit for the upcoming fall weather. You can even get sporty and root for your home team in a graphic bralette paired with overalls. And don’t forget your Chuck Taylors and a badass backpack!
If you’re more of the preppy type, stock up on fun plaid pieces, polka dot frocks and chambray tops. Boat shoes and light sneakers are essentials, along with a trusty satchel bag.
There’s nothing wrong with getting down and nerdy! Be a standout smartypants with fun frames either on your head or around your neck. Upgrade the classic Urkel bowtie with an edgier studded one, and instead of high-water pants, opt for high-waisted shorts.
Cross over to the dark side and get gothic next semester. Think lots of leather and grungy apparel. No gothic wardrobe is complete without a pair of Doc Martens. All black is always flattering, but if black lipstick is not your thing, try a merlot-colored version that’s worth pouting for all fall.
Shop all of our picks below, and come the first day of school, you’ll already have an A+ for style.
