"Doesn’t it seem like kids grow a lot over the summer? Maybe it’s all the Vitamin D from outdoor play, but I know that when fall comes around, my kid’s leggings will likely look more like capris and their long-sleeve shirts won’t cover their wrists. So updating their wardrobe is an essential part of getting ready for the upcoming school year.
Usually before back-to-school clothes shopping, I enjoy a good old closet purge. I go through everything to see what my kids have outgrown, determine items that can become hand-me-downs for a younger sibling or cousins, and notice what is so stain-covered or full of holes I can’t believe I let it take up drawer space.
But once I have the baseline of clothes that made it through last year—and still fit—I often find myself shopping for back-to-school clothes without a plan for how much to buy or what goes with what, etc. Choosing to shop at one retailer can make back-to-school shopping that much easier. And again and again, I find myself at Old Navy.
Old Navy’s fall back-to-school collection is full of fun options for my kids—with tops, pants, dresses, and more they can mix and match to fit their own personal style.

Plus, I know Old Navy will help me stay on budget knowing all the other things—backpacks, water bottles, school supplies, extracurricular fees, etc.—I’ll need to buy before school begins.
To help plan out your kids back-to-school shopping, we created a checklist to keep track of what they have and what they might need for the upcoming year. Read on to download the list and shop our favorite items from Old Navy’s back-to-school collection. (Of course, even though we’ve organized the picks into girls and boys, there are no rules for shopping both sections!)
