So, without further ado, read on for 16 school outfits ideas for spring, summer, and early fall.
Casual Outfits Ideas for School
We all know how painful it is to wake up before school and not know what to wear – the hint of a morning fashion crisis!
However, instead of wearing different sweatpants or leggings, try some of these casual clothing ideas that you can throw together in no time. They are comfortable for school, and you can wear them any time of the year.
1. Sweatshirts, cargo pants, and sneakers.
When it comes to school attire, you want to feel comfortable while adhering to the school dress code—two things you won’t have to worry about with this casual look.
Loose, oversized clothing is all the rage right now, so layer a fantastic (and comfy) graphic sweatshirt and loose cargo pants for an all-day workout with your favorite sneakers.
This simple outfits combination looks stylish and understated, especially with a beanie in cold weather.
2. Wide jeans and sweater vests.
Sweatshirts give off an academic vibe, so keep it stylish and casual with trendy wide-leg jeans.
You can wear a sweater jacket or a white button-down shirt for a casual look. Wide jeans will make this combination modern and fashionable.
For footwear, choose soft loafers, combat boots, or sneakers.
3. Maxi cargo skirt, crop top and sneakers
Cargo skirts are now in fashion, including cargo pants and cargo skirts.
The maxi-length cargo skirt is perfect for school because it’s large, you won’t have any problems with the dress code, and the roomy fit allows you to sit comfortably in class all day. And, of course, it looks cool and has many pockets, which is always a plus!
There are many ways to wear a cargo maxi skirt, but you can’t go wrong with something simple: pair it with a cropped shirt or long-sleeved top and casual shoes. This dress is modern yet amazingly functional!
4. Graphic T-shirt, corduroy pants and sneakers.
A graphic t-shirt can be a fun way to make a statement at school, whether it’s a picture of your favorite artists or places – this t-shirt says “Switzerland.” The shoe business, wearing straight pants and flat shoes, offers girls a cool vibe.
5. Colorful crop tops, jeans and sneakers
Jeans are still a spring staple, but now you can pair them with a cute (and cropped) top. A colorful crop top like this pink corset crop top will look amazing with loose, light-wash jeans.
Spice up the look by pairing it with sneakers (like New Balance sneakers or Nike Dunks) and add some layered necklaces, rings, and earrings for a put-together vibe.
6. Jumpsuit, button-down, and sneakers.
Jumpsuits have become the hottest thing in fashion lately, and for good reason: they make getting dressed a piece of cake! Put one on, and you’re good to go. No need to worry about compatibility above and below.
A white button-down shirt is one of the easiest and best things to wear this spring, especially if oversized. Adding a button-up over a cute tank will give it a less “sporty” and casual look, especially with a cute little purse and casual shoes.
If you’re feeling sporty, pair it with an oversized sweatshirt, baseball cap, and running shoes for a fresh spring look.
7. Cargo pants and crochet top.
Two significant spring trends are cargo pants and anything crocheted, so why not wear them together to create a cute spring ensemble?
Choose light and bright colors to make your outfits more seasonal. These cool cargo pants will go with most of your wardrobe, and a colorful knit top will be fun and eye-catching. Complete the look with sandals or sneakers.
8. Shirts, denim shorts, and sandals.
The pink jacket looks bright and fresh for spring but is also very lightweight. And if you can’t wait to get rid of your jean shorts before summer, a shirt is the perfect way to wear them in early spring!
This jacket will give you the warmth you need while still going with the casual vibe of denim shorts. You can wear anything underneath, from a crop top to a graphic tee. Complete the look with flat sandals like Birkenstocks.
Summer dress ideas for teenagers
Summer is almost here, and I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to it! There’s much to look forward to, from days spent at the beach or pool to backyard barbecues.
These cute summer outfits for teens are perfect for summer and the fun and carefree days ahead.
9. Floral Dress and Sneakers
Floral print dresses are a summer classic. This dress has a girlish feel, with a gathered bust and open plaid at the back.
While you can go the girly route and pair it with cute sandals, you can also give it a more casual look by pairing the dress with sneakers and socks (one of this season’s biggest trends).
10. Graphic tees and denim shorts.
Denim shorts will be your best friend in summer. Style them in many ways, but you can’t go wrong by pairing them with a bold graphic print tee.
Pair this simple set with cute accessories like necklaces, bracelets, belts, and sunglasses. You can also layer a light cotton or linen shirt on top (this is especially good on summer evenings when it’s a little windy).
11. Floral skirt, crochet top and sandals.
This summer, why not try a boho look by pairing a floral mini skirt with a mini top and flat sandals?
This miniskirt’s A-line silhouette gives it a flowy look, but it’s still light and airy—perfect for a hot summer day (or night). As mentioned earlier, crochet is a big trend now, giving a boho look to a dress, especially with flat sandals.
12. Short denim overalls
Jumpsuits are making a comeback and are a fun alternative to the usual summer jeans.
Create a casual look by pairing a cropped denim jumper with a T-shirt, ankle boots, or boots. You can wear a bikini cover-up or top and sandals all summer long.
13. Midi skirt, hoodie, and combat boots.
Midi dresses are incredibly versatile and can be worn all year round, depending on how you style them!
To kick off fall, pair a dark floral midi skirt with a basic shirt, lace-up combat boots, and a sweatshirt on top. You can easily store the sweatshirt in your bag or purse if/when you get hot during the day, but it’s perfect for cooler mornings. It also makes the school uniform look less “boyish,” and the combat boots add a little edge.
14. Jackets, jeans, and sneakers.
Jackets are the perfect outerwear option for early autumn, providing the necessary warmth while being lightweight. You can throw this textured jacket over jeans, shorts, skirts, and even leggings because it has a high-low hem that provides extra back protection.
Wear it with a white tee with layered necklaces, straight-leg jeans, sneakers, or chunky boots for a put-together look. If the day is hot, replace your jeans with denim shorts!
15. Faux leather jacket, plaid pants, and boots.
A faux leather jacket is a must-have item that will give your outfits a classy and classy look. It’s not too heavy and perfect for early fall.
There are many ways to dress this versatile piece, but a modern twist is to wear it with pants, a T-shirt or crop top, and strappy combat boots. The leather print gives the faux leather jacket a fall feel, while the combat boots give it a soft aesthetic. Add a stretchy scarf to your look. It’s a great trend.
16. Flannel shirt and jeans.
Plaid flannel shirts are so fashionable! This is because they are beautiful and seasonal, and flannel has more “weight” than fabrics like cotton. If it’s not sweater weather, opt for a plaid flannel shirt.
I love this shirt’s dark green color palette and cropped length, making it trendy and modern. Wear it alone with a shirt (so you can tie it around your waist if the temperature rises) and a necklace or two.
Complete the look with your favorite jeans and sneakers or ankle boots.
