Back to School style: what to wear on the first days?

Back to School style: what to wear on the first days? - OnSize

Going back to school rarely goes smoothly, so it's important to start it in comfy shoes. But you don't have to give up style for comfort: a good pair of sneakers can handle rushing around school, hanging out with friends at break and after-school plans all at once.

What to wear in the first few days?

1. Oversized tee and cargo pants

One of the go-to Back to School combos. An oversized tee with a logo or graphic, paired with comfy cargo pants – and your effortless streetwear look is ready.

2. Hoodie or crewneck

On fall mornings, a hoodie or a clean crewneck comes in handy. You can easily pair it with jeans or joggers.

Sneakers that carry the fit

An outfit is never complete without a good pair of shoes. The classic white sneaker is an all-time favorite, but feel free to go for a statement pair too.

Accessories

A cap, a crossbody bag or an eye-catching belt bag can really level up your first-week fits while being practical too.

Must-have sneakers and accessories

A streetwear fit always starts with the shoes. For the first few days, pick sneakers that match your style but are comfy all day too:

  • White sneakers – classic, goes with everything. (e.g. Nike Air Force 1)
  • Retro models – '90s styles are trending again. (e.g. New Balance 550)
  • Chunky sneakers – a bold choice that makes you stand out from the crowd. (e.g. Nike Rope Lace)

Accessories that level up your fit:

  • Cap or bucket hat
  • Crossbody bag or belt bag
  • Minimalist jewelry – like a silver chain or bracelet

Layering tips for fall weather

Fall is unpredictable: cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon. That's when layering is key.

  • Pair a tee with a hoodie and throw a denim jacket or bomber on top.
  • Pick basic colors for your base and level it up with bright accessories.
  • Don't be afraid to mix textures: denim, cotton, canvas and technical fabrics all look great together.

Back to School streetwear is all about feeling comfortable but confident at school. With the right basics, sneakers and accessories, plus a few smart layering tips, you can easily put together the perfect outfit for your first days. Check out the OnSize lineup!
