We know. It feels like summer just started, but somehow the beach days, flip flops and warm sunsets are coming to an end.

This can only mean one thing: school is starting up again for the kids in our lives.

Before the learning kicks off, make sure they have everything they need for a successful 2022-23 school year. This includes classroom essentials, planners, backpacks, lunchboxes and needed electronics.

But you can’t forget about the most fun part of back to school shopping: the clothes.

Oh yes, it’s time to lock in some new jeans, fresh sneakers, cool tees and more. But we know back to school shopping can quickly become overwhelming — especially with the current inflation crisis.

That’s why we rounded up the best back to school clothes and outfit ideas for girls and boy of all ages and at all price points.
