It’s back to school season. That means it’s likely time to see if your work pants still fit. It’s also time to treat yourself to a few new closet staples, so getting dressed in the morning becomes a bit more bearable. Old Navy is often our go-to for inexpensive work pants, but Amazon is our favorite spot to browse for new tops and dresses. We’ve had plenty of Amazon hits and misses over the years, but the items below are all hits that we pull off of hangers again and again! Check out these affiliate links and get "clicky fingers" with some must-have closet staples!
Everyday Closet Staples
3/4 Sleeve Denim Crop Top Tie Knot Shirt Cardigan
I’m putting these over all my summer dresses to make them school-appropriate! They’re soft and more comfortable than regular jean jackets, so you can be animated in the classroom without restrictions! I sized down for a more tailored fit.
Striped Short Sleeve T-Shirt Dress
This is a comfortable, covering, and flattering dress that comes in a variety of colors! I opted for our school’s colors (blue and white) so I always have something to wear for school events or spirit days!
Relaxed Fit Drop Shoulder Scoop Neck T-Shirt
This simple, loose-fitting t-shirt is easily paired with colored jeans and flats on those days when you really don’t feel like getting dressed.
Speaking of colored jeans, these pull-on skinny jeans are available in a few different color options and are far more comfortable than traditional work pants.
Comfy Weekend Favorites
Adidas Women's Cloudfoam Pure 2.0 Running Sneaker
These comfortable slip-on sneakers are perfect for running errands or stopping by student sporting events!
I find myself constantly reaching for this lightweight, non-fleece, loose-fitting pullover. It’s so good that I have it in 3 different colors. Get one in your school’s colors, so it can also be worn to athletic events or on spirit days!
The outfit is perfect for those times when you don’t want to get out of your pajamas, but you might have to swing by the grocery store. If you select a neutral color, the pieces could also be worn separately!
High Waisted Joggers with Pockets
These high-waisted joggers are soft and have pockets! They’re flattering and not too tight, making them perfect for dress-down days at school, too!
A casual, comfortable t-shirt with a positive message is always a win! If you have dress-down Fridays, it doesn’t hurt to share a “be kind” message with students!
