They say first impressions are lasting, which means serving up the very best back-to-school look is crucial. (It also means that everyone in my fifth-grade class remembers my acid-washed overalls — not because of how cool I looked, but because one of the straps fell into the toilet and I had to borrow a pair of sweats from the lost-and-found bin for the rest of the day.) But pre-blunder, I felt fresh, confident, and ready to crush the year ahead in that outfit. And now, it’s time to help our kids stay on-trend while we stay on budget, all while making sure their outfits can tackle the day’s challenges. (No pressure.)

Hellbent on helping other kids nail their first impressions, I’ve compiled some seriously great finds from Macy’s. Denim returns as your multitasking style hero, and artistic-inspired looks get two thumbs up, as well (think: doodle graphics, collage prints, and graphic prints emblazoned with positive messages). Classic preppy looks are also getting major props. Rest assured that Macy’s is your one-stop shop for all your kids’ looks, whether you’re shopping for classroom-ready styles, after-school extracurriculars, or anything else your kids get into — all while channeling their very best selves.
