Back-to-school is arguably one of the most important seasons in your child’s life—it’s a time of transition and change, and also a time when they might be in a new or unfamiliar environment. When I was a kid, one of the biggest things that helped me feel more confident and comfortable walking into the first day of school was wearing a new outfit that I had picked out while back-to-school shopping with my mom. She would let us pick one new outfit for the first day of school every year, and it was a tradition my siblings and I always looked forward to.
While your kids might enjoy picking out their own clothes like me, some simply aren’t there yet or aren’t interested. Since we’ve shared countless seasonal capsule wardrobes for moms, we wanted to take some of the back-to-school stress off your plate and share this ultimate back-to-school capsule wardrobe for kids. The best part? You can get everything in one place: All of the items in the capsule wardrobes below are from our favorite one-stop-shop: Old Navy. (Don’t forget to pick up a couple of things for yourself while you’re at it!)
You probably already know that we love Old Navy for mom fashion, but they also have everything your child might need when it comes to clothes. From countless styles of jeans to layering pieces perfect for fall to uniform necessities, you can feel confident that these are pieces that both you AND your kids will love. Let them express themselves with fun graphic tees and colorful accessories, all while knowing that what they’re wearing is both stylish and high-quality. Plus, putting together a capsule wardrobe for your kids is a great way to let them pick out their own outfits while knowing that whatever they choose with work well together.
Keep scrolling to check out our ultimate Old Navy back-to-school wardrobes for both girls and boys (but of course, even though we’ve organized the picks into girls and boys, there are no rules for shopping both sections!):
