1 MIN READ -- School is back in session soon! Whether shopping for small kids, or your almost adults heading to college soon, what are the best spots for back to school shopping in the Loop? Follow our back to school checklist to make sure you have everything you need.
Backpacks
You've got to have something to lug all the books, supplies and fun galore back to school. Shop for kids, high school and even college students at Target, Macy’s, Urban Outfitters and more.
School and office supplies
Find deals on back to school supplies from the basics to the outrageous at Target, Urban Outfitters and Walgreens. Though tech is king, you still need your handy dandy writing utensils. Stash them in a pencil pouch. Some options include a smiley case, Kipling pouch, or holographic case.
Is it lunch yet?
Say goodbye to your brown paper bag. A lunchbox is practical when it comes to packing kids’ lunches and keeping food cold. There are many different designs, including a Kid's double decker lunchbox, bentgo lunchbox or a dual compartment lunch box.
Under lock and key
Keep all the goods on lock with a secure lock from Walgreens, and no need to remember a combo when you have a key chain.
Power to the Planner
If you’re anything like us, a planner is essential for staying organized (even if you forget the planner and end up keeping lists on sticky notes), so choose from several different designs and layouts. Some selections are a watercolor planner, cosmos planner, or DIY planner.
Clothes and Accessories
School is the ultimate fashion show, and masks are the newest (required) accessory. Stay safe when you return to school with a masks from Zumiez, Burlington, or Target. The ultimate icon, denim is always adapting with new styles and fits, so make sure you include a pair of jeans in your back to school wardrobe. Keep it simple with skinny to straight leg options from Macy’s, or make it funky with patchwork and colored cuts at Zara and Banana Republic Factory. Walk to class with some new kicks. Stay comfy and cute with sneakers at Nordstrom Rack and Old Navy, or make a statement with classic Doc Martens at Urban Outfitters or Converse at DSW.
