Back to School Shopping with OshKosh!

By Alison Wenger September 16, 2016

We’re heading into August, which means most families are officially in Back-to-School mode! The shopping for backpacks, school supplies, shoes and clothes is underway!

One of our favorite places to shop as we restock the kids’ closets for fall (amazing how fast they grow, right?!?) is our local OshKosh store. They are a one-stop shop for jeans, activewear and cute and comfortable footwear.

We’ll be sharing a bunch of their newest fashion trends for Back-to-School over the next few weeks, but this week we’re highlighting outfits for the first day of school! They’re never too young for a special first day outfit even if it’s the first day at a new daycare center or preschool!

Since Back-to-School weather is still usually warm, this classic ruffle dress or fun neon striped dress are perfect choices.  If boho-chic is the look you’re going for, this floral peasant top and eyelet skirt are an adorable combo.

For the boys, I love all of OshKosh’s graphic and active tee options. Choose from dinosaur or soccer themes, or go the patriotic route in honor of our U.S. Olympic athletes. These pull-on cargo shorts are an easy-to-manage choice for younger ones since there are no buttons or zippers.

Have kids who want to be more casual for the first day?

These crisp heart print neon twill bermuda shorts are one example of the many fun print options available in girls’ shorts. Match them with an airy eyelet flutter-sleeve top for a cute-and-easy style. Cargo shorts or denim shorts in a variety of washes will have your son looking sharp and ready to take on the new school year. Dress up his shorts with a stylish plaid button-front or keep it casual with a striped pocket tee.

My son will soon be nine and is moving to a new building, so I love that OshKosh has enough options to outfit boys and girls all the way up to size 14 in styles that they consider cool and I approve of as a parent. And, as a bonus to our budget, it’s important to me that their clothes can withstand the demands of recess and the spills of lunchtime and still come out of the laundry looking like new.

Do your kids have to wear uniforms to school? OshKosh.com has options for your family, too, including this uniform pique polo dress or a uniform pique polo in a variety of colors paired with a pleated twill uniform skirt. For boys, you’ll find short-sleeved and long-sleeved polos, button down oxford shirts, and twill pants in the Uniform Shop.

Now is the time to find your nearest retail location or to visit OshKosh.com and explore all of their fashionable back to school items. Visit their website to sign up for emails that will keep you updated on new styles and sales (and send coupons!) all year long!
