Back-to-school season is upon us (the long, sweet summer!), which means it’s time to get families back to their regularly scheduled routines: think bedtime routines, endless weekend activities, and, of course, homework. While some people in the United States have resumed their lives, the rest of us are still trying to get through the final weeks of summer. With that, though, comes the purchase of school supplies (the cost of which is out of control) and new clothes and backpacks (it might make sense for you to discuss a back-to-school budget with your kids).
This is what Tiffany Reid, senior vice president of fashion at BDG, appears on today show Join some adorable kids on Friday to discuss back-to-school fashion trends on a budget.
Here are six of our favorite looks.
There’s nothing more classic than a school skirt. But Sadie’s blazers and accessories give it a modern, sporty edge.
Hoodie: YPB Neoknit Active Full Zip Hoodie – $37.46; Jacket: Contrast Jacket – $32.90; Skirt: Girls Uniform Pleated Skirt – $49.50; Socks: Girls 3-Pack Bobby Socks – Cat & Jack – $4.99 ; Shoes: Kids’ VL Court 3.0 Sneakers (Little/Big Kids) – $45.98; Backpack: Kids Recycled Color Block Logo Backpack – $23
everyone has something Denim in their wardrobe. It’s easy to wear, can withstand a lot of wear and tear, and is versatile. Tyson’s denim outfit paired with a brown jacket added to the fall vibe.

Tartan is a back-to-school wardrobe staple. Sandy (left) wears a classic plaid shirt, but looks cooler with a layered hoodie and is therefore more kid-friendly. Its versatility at its best.
