It’s that time of year… we’re sending the kids Back to School! From fashions and staples, labels and school supplies, we share all you need to get ready for the school year.
Back to School Fashions
Whether you’re shopping for a first day look or clothing to last through the semester, Macy’s is your one stop shop for all your Back to School needs. From girls and boys, to juniors, backpacks and even shoes, your child can get outfitted from head to toe with Macys.
We’ve highlighted a few of our favorite looks, at all different price points, starting with the idea of Dress to Celebrate Your Grade. This why we love Sweet Wink’s confetti skirts paired with grade t-shirts like “Hello Kindergarten” or “Third Grade,” colorful and on theme, perfect to kick off the school year.
Layers are Your Friend is another tip. Especially in San Diego where the day might start with a marine layer and by lunch it’s full sun on the playground. We suggest pairing Levi’s with a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt and either a long sleeve over shirt or a Columbia fleece or jacket.
Any athletic wear is a win so your child can be Sporty Recess Ready. Jordan apparel has universal appeal, and top brands like Nike, Adidas and Under Armour all make Macy’s a go-to for tops, shorts, sweats and more. Plus we can’t forget the sneakers and from fashion like DKNY to function like Puma, both boys and girls are super excited to sport new kicks!
School Supplies
Backpacks and pencils, crayons and markers… we’re confident you have a school checklist of the items needed for their classroom boxes and to help support at home too. Organization is key for both kids and parents. Who else finds themselves asking, “Where are the caps to these markers?!”) A must add to your school supply list is the Marker Parker. It keeps marker caps all in one place. So markers don’t get lost or dry out. It also serves as a caddy making it easy to see colors and take with you anywhere. It fits a variety of cap sizes Made of 100% FDA grade silicone, the Marker Parker will last year after year. We also love that it was invented by Marlo, a student. You may have seen this fabulous mommy/daughter duo on Shark Tank. Read more about them here.
Another must have for the school supply list is reusable bags. We love this one from Big Bee Little Bee. These silicone bags are all the viral Tik Tok rage right now because they have this soft shell which snaps closed. It makes it easier to clean and dry than other reusable bags. Its also a lot less bulky than plastic containers. The Big Bee Little Bee SoftShell Snap-Close Silicone Food Storage Container also features Cool Edge technology for safe handling out of the microwave. You can store leftovers, reheat and eat right out of the bag. FDA GRADE SILICONE is all that touches the food. We also love that it is dishwasher safe! It even has removable panels for that occasional deep cleaning. These are especially good for a teen/tween that might not want to carry a lunch box anymore. It doubles as a plate and has no lids to mismatch or lose! And we can’t forget those backpacks with pockets to carry all of the supplies!
From the traditional Jansport backpack to Fjallraven, we love that Macy’s has a great selection of backpacks for all of our personalities. We also love when the backpacks come with accessories. The Air Jordan backpack comes with pencil pouch and Ice cream and shine set has a lunch case, pencil pouch, water bottle, backpack and coordinating calculator! One of our favorite memories growing up was going to the store and picking out our backpack for the upcoming school year.
