Idea #1: A casual outfit with a touch of retro
We start slowly with this first outfit, which is ideal if you are looking to have style while remaining sober. This skirt / t-shirt set is not only timeless, but also a guarantee of spending the day in comfortable clothes. What's worse than starting the school year again with itchy pants or a shirt that's too tight! The t-shirt gives a very casual retro touch, while being fully in line with the 80s trend. This has also made a strong comeback recently. It contrasts with the skirt, which brings charm and delicacy.
Still in this spirit of comfort, pretty flat moccasins complete the ensemble, remaining in the soft and bohemian line of the skirt. Finally, a pretty vintage backpack, essential for classes, completes the look. You are ready for the start of the school year in a simple and effective way!

Idea #2: a very working girl outfit for returning to work
This outfit is aimed at all those who return to work in September after a few days or weeks of (well-deserved) leave! If you want to be chic and make a good impression, you can't go wrong by opting for this set. The dress is truly timeless, both feminine and elegant, but remaining in a certain sobriety. The bag and the watch accentuate the refined side of the outfit , while maintaining an appearance suitable for the professional environment. As for the shoes, they are irresistibly retro ! Concerning their comfort, rest assured: the wide heel and the platform greatly soften the pump look. You will have no difficulty spending the day with it. In addition, they can be put on in a flash, ideal in the morning in case of alarm failure!
Idea #3: a back-to-school outfit in yellow and camel
Adapting equally well to a school or university environment as well as a professional one, this 50s- inspired set allows you to approach the start of the school year with good humor! Indeed, what better way to prolong the summer than the color yellow, a sunny and dynamic shade par excellence? Pretty retro camel-colored pumps contrast wonderfully with the dress, while accentuating the vintage look of the outfit.
In addition, a large bag, also camel, allows you to store all your school essentials in style. You can even fit a laptop there. In short, this outfit adapts to all situations and helps you approach the recovery by combining aesthetics and practicality. What more ?
Idea #4: a colorful dress for a vibrant women’s outfit!
We stay in color and cheerfulness with this 60s dress with white and orange stripes. If you are one of those who want to go back to school with pep, freshness and a touch of originality, this outfit is made for you! Once again, we took care to select an ergonomic bag, capable of holding books, binders and laptops. Plus, the combination of orange and brown is always a winning combination!
Finally, to shine from head to toe, beige pumps complete the look. The strap and the little bow give them a cute and elegant look that won't go unnoticed. To take the look even further, you can opt for a messy bun à la Brigitte Bardot. Prepare to be complimented!
Idea n°5: we dare to use patterns for our back-to-school outfit!
This last outfit is undoubtedly the most extravagant. It is dedicated to all those who want to make a splash on the first day of school, who want to make a lasting impression. If originality and daring to fully go for the total vintage look don't scare you , you will be seduced by the patterned dress. Large polka dots and flowers sit side by side, making it very feminine.
In addition, a thin black belt highlights the waist, creating a harmonious silhouette. The shoes are right in the sixties style. Their look is very assertive, with the patent effect, the square toe, the bow and the detail reminiscent of chiseled lace. They go very well with the school bag, which combines vintage with a touch of finesse.
Furthermore, the little powder pink watch finishes off the outfit very gently, recalling the color of the printed flowers on the dress. In short, this set allows you to stand out on your first day, and that with a good dose of elegance!
We hope to have given you lots of good ideas for a very trendy back to school.
