Did you know that curating a wardrobe that makes you feel confident and stylish can significantly boost your mood? According to fashion experts, getting into the back-to-school groove can be a lot easier if you have a closet of clothing that you want to wear to boost your mood.

I couldn’t agree more. I know I always feel my best when I have fashions that are not only cozy but also speaks to my personality— fun and trendy!

Experts also say that you can remove additional anxiety by planning out your looks in advance. As someone with a busy schedule, I can tell you from experience, that knowing what I plan to wear for the week makes getting back into routine less stressful.

Need some inspo? Below, I’ve handpicked some comfy must-have pieces from trendy brands like Hollister, boohoo, and Bearpaw to help you step into the new semester with style. 

Graphic Tees

When looking for graphic tees, find looks that showcase your personality while being mindful of your environment. Look for fun designs that are trendy and appropriate for school.

Stylish Sweaters & Sweatshirts 

Keep things cozy in the classroom with stylish sweatshirts and sweaters you love. While everyone’s style is different, I think you should strongly consider getting your hands on a zip-up design which makes layering so much easier— especially if you are someone who easily gets overheated while taking tests.

Denim Jeans

Whether you love baggy jeans or prefer a closer fit, you can never go wrong with a pair of new jeans. I especially love the return of low-rise jeans, which pair perfectly with an embellished belt and a crop-cut sweater. So trendy!

Side Note: Make sure that your jeans cover your backside.

Bold Statement Accessories & Jewelry

Let’s talk jewelry and accessories! Jewelry is where your personality gets to shine through. When choosing your jewelry and accessories, look for pieces that grab your attention. This will ensure you select pieces that bring you joy!

Cozy & Comfortable Slippers

When shopping for boots, comfort is key! This is why I suggest getting a pair of comfy shoes that complement every look. 

Fashionable Bags & Backpacks

This year, oversized bags and roomy backpacks are a must-have. When shopping for your new bag, look for spacious and practical bags. To take your everyday look up a notch, opt for fun animal prints like leopard and zebra. It’s totally in this season! 


Remember, back-to-school isn’t just about hitting the books—it’s about stepping outside your comfort zone and being open to learning and trying new things. Cheers to a great school year and sensational style that’s uniquely you!
