To jazz this outfit up a bit, try accessorizing with a few chunky bracelets or a long necklace. Tuck your shirt into the front of your jeans for a cute, sporty look.
For instance, you could pair a white T-shirt with a black floral tank top. Or, try a black T-shirt with a striped tank top.
If you’re going for shorts, make sure they’re long enough so they follow the dress code! This is the perfect outfit for a lazy day or when you have gym class later.
Try wearing a few necklaces and bracelets to top off this outfit.
To really rock this look, throw a few brightly colored extensions in your hair, like blue, pink, or green.
Pair your look with simple stud earrings and a few chain necklaces to keep things low key.
To really channel the 90s, try a striped T-shirt underneath your overalls.
If skirts aren’t your thing, try a skort instead. Denim skirts look great with bright, solid colors, while neutral skirts pair well with patterns.
If your ears are pierced, try wearing some simple studs to complete this look. If they aren’t, throw on a few bracelets or a thin necklace instead. Try mixing up the length of your dress—midi dresses, or ones that hit below your knees, are super comfy and flowy (plus, they’ll always comply with the dress code).
Go for a neutral-colored crewneck or sweatshirt, like gray, white, or black. If sweatshirts aren’t your thing (or you’re wearing a dress), try putting on a cardigan or a comfy sweater instead.
If you have long hair, consider getting a trim before you head back to school. It will help your hair grow faster, and your haircut will look fresh and stylish on the first day of school. If you have short hair, use some water to tamp down any bedhead before you go to school.
You could wear this look to a school dance or even when you’re wearing a skirt or a dress to school.
French braiding can be tricky at first, but it gets easier as you do it more. Try practicing on your friends until you get the hang of it.
If you notice any flyaways, use a barrette to keep your hair flattened down. If you have short hair, use a pea-sized amount of gel and a comb to slick your hair back and keep it out of your face.
This hairstyle is perfect when you’re wearing a flowy dress to school.
Since you aren’t using heat to do beach waves, this hairstyle isn’t damaging at all!
You can also turn your bandana into a headband. Fold it in half to make a triangle, then roll from the bottom up until it creates a straight line. Wrap the bandana around your head and tie it into place.
Plus, scrunchies are less likely to leave creases in your hair, so you can take it down later and still look fabulous.
Check in with your parents before you start wearing makeup. They might have some product recommendations or some old makeup you could use!
Even though you’re dressing up, you don’t have to wear makeup if you don’t want to! It’s an option, not a requirement.
