What’s that? You don’t have a huge walk-in closet at college? It’s no secret that your closet at college may be a tight-fitting situation. You might be looking to be a little intentional with what you are including in the lineup this year. Or, maybe you are taking classes online and need the right at-home college apparel. Either way, comfort is a top priority. We combined comfort with style and came up with our 10 essential pieces for back to school.

We’re starting with the ladies, and ending with the men! However, a lot is unisex so feel free to read every word.

The Surf Hoodie gives you all the comforts of the pullover hoodie that you know and love with perfect colors to keep your style looking lively and fresh. This is the piece that you will end up grabbing with little thought but lots of confidence.

If you don’t already have a pair of black leggings then you are going to need to get on that. You won’t fit in at college or the Zoom class without them. We’ve got you completely covered with these high waist leggings!

The perfect partner to the high waisted leggings, I give you the lightweight crop hoodie. This takes the classic hoodie and gives it a little edge and interest without sacrificing comfort.

Another best friend of our leggings, have you ever tried a hoodie dress? If you are looking for more coverage than the crop top this is the perfect piece for you.

This lightweight long sleeve shirt carries you through the seasons well. It’s light enough for summer evenings and still in season for when it gets cooler. It’s that effortless style you are looking for as you hit the books this year.

Our City Retro Backpack has a classic feel that compliments any outfit as you are hiking across campus. There is a separate sleeve for your laptop with plenty of room for other essentials.

This zip up hoodie is the perfect addition to whatever you have going on that day. You have plenty of colors to choose from to nail that look. Think back over the last year, how often did you wear a full zip hoodie? How often did you wish you were wearing a zip up hoodie? That’s what I thought. Check out our post on The Sponge Zip Up Hoodie - 3 Ways!

What are you wearing while hanging around the apartment? Or on your outdoor adventures? The Getaway French Terry Shorts might be just what you need to help you transition to your after-school activities.

This hoodie is not your typical hoodie. It’s a lightweight hoodie and never feels bulky. This is perfect for class or active adventures. This shirt is the definition of comfort meets style.

You have to pick up some of the softest T shirts to complete your college wardrobe. You can see our whole collection here. They are that light layer you need on the warm days and the bottom layer you need for the cool days. We could all use another positive vibes shirt.

Alright, now that you are dressed, you are good to go. Good luck this year. Work hard, play hard. To the books!
