Back-To-School Essentials From Palm Angels, We11done, And Thom Browne

Back-to-school season is upon us, and whether you’re looking at distance learning, in-person classes, or you graduated years ago, late August always calls for a wardrobe refresh. This season, we’re focusing on statement shirts and bucket hats to flex from the waist up on Zoom along with school-day favorites like tracksuits and backpacks.
Below, we’ve rounded up our favorites from designers including Palm Angels, We11done, and Thom Browne.
Patterned Button-Downs
Last season was all about bowling shirts. Short-sleeve button-downs are back for fall, but the latest editions feature all-over, tongue-in-cheek patterns to retro color blocking. Since Zoom meetings don’t appear to be going anywhere, stand out from the grid in one of these eye-catching prints.

Graphic Hoodies
Early fall calls for layering, and nothing is more versatile than a comfy hoodie. This season, styles leave normcore behind and take it up a notch with ironic graphics. Pair with crisp jeans or rock with track pants or joggers on casual Friday.
Bucket Hats
Aside from maybe your face mask, bucket hats are the accessory of fall 2020. This throwback from the early aughts makes any look more stylish, and it’s perfect for covering up your long overdue haircut.

Tracksuit Style
Tracksuits were the champ of quarantine style, but this fall they are ready to leave the house. The latest looks favor a tailored silhouette that can be dressed up or down. For a transitional look, pair comfy track shorts with classic crew socks and your favorite graphic tee.

Backpacks and Shoulder Bags
No back-to-school roundup is complete without a pack to carry all your stuff. With more to haul than ever these days (sanitizer, masks, a bagged lunch), we prefer utilitarian styles that can get the job done. Think military influences like hunter green and sturdy canvas in pared-down silhouettes.
