Taking notes from our followers.

Whether you’re in high school or moving into your college dorm room, the first day back to school can be a daunting thing to look forward to. We’ve gotten some help from our Instagram followers to give you some style inspiration if you’re worried about making a good first impression. From bold neon looks to lowkey cozy outfits, we have something for everyone to ease your mind off those first-day jitters.

Scroll down below to see the outfit breakdowns. While you’re here, check out eight backpacks you can shop to pair with your new look.

1. Oversized Everything

Start off the year with a laidback aesthetic and go for oversized clothes in neutral tones to make sure you stay comfortable all day long. If you don’t want to be overly casual, layer a dress shirt under your hoodie. Take a look at our cozy selections from COMME des GARÇONS PLAY, Vetements and more.

2. Bold and Bright

Bring the neon trend into the new school year with highlighter-hued pieces such as Maison Margiela‘s neon bodysuit and Nike‘s P-6000 “Luminous Green.” To neutralize the look but still stay bold, throw on a snakeskin print jacket from Nanushka.

3. Dressy

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you have to put your sundresses away. Repurpose a mid-length dress — such as Acne Studios’ Black Darpana Dress — into a fall outfit by pairing it with a cropped, boxy Fendi jacket and chunky sandals like Tevas.
