Summer is still in full swing, but back-to-school is just around the corner. The days are getting shorter, and the desire for a fresh look is starting to emerge. It's the perfect time to plan ahead, sort through, and thoughtfully rethink your wardrobe.
It's not about turning the page on summer in a hurry, but about extending the look with pieces that make the transition with style and simplicity.
Here are our essentials for preparing your back-to-school wardrobe.
1. The light shirt
It's been with you in the sun, and it'll remain your best friend in September. Choose it in cotton-linen for its breathability, or in poplin for a cleaner silhouette. Worn with rolled-up sleeves and straight-leg pants or tucked under a casual jacket, it's the centerpiece of your back-to-school outfits.
2. The pants that fit everything
Neither too formal nor too casual: pleated trousers or chinos naturally find their place between two seasons. Opt for neutral shades—sand, tobacco, navy—to create an easy-to-match base. With a pair of minimalist loafers or sneakers, the style remains fluid.
3. The mid-season sweater
When the mornings get cooler, a cotton or Merino wool becomes essential. Slipped over a white t-shirt or shirt, it provides comfort without weighing down the silhouette. It's functional elegance, without compromise.
4. An all-in-one overshirt
Back to school also means a return to variable days: cool in the morning, mild in the afternoon, unpredictable in the evening. The overshirt then becomes a key piece: it can be worn open like a jacket, or buttoned up for a cleaner look. A good in-between, as practical as it is stylish.
5. The right accessories for a good recovery
A belt or a card holder : back-to-school accessories don't scream their presence, but they make all the difference. They organize everyday life with style, while asserting your signature style.
Preparing your wardrobe makes going back to school easier
Back to school is often experienced as a sprint: back to work, change of pace, return to obligations. A well-designed wardrobe allows you to enter it stress-free and with consistency. A few well-chosen pieces are enough to lay the foundation for a functional, elegant, and durable wardrobe.
