1. Sweatshirt, Cargo Pants & Sneakers
When it comes to getting dressed for school, you’ll want to be comfy while also keeping your school’s dress code in mind—two things you won’t have to worry about with this laid-back look.
Baggy, oversized clothing is totally on-trend right now, so throw on a cool (and comfy) graphic print sweatshirt with some relaxed-fitting cargo pants for a full day of classes, along with your favorite sneakers.
This easy outfit combo looks cool in a super effortless way, especially with a beanie hat during colder seasons.
2. Wide-Leg Jeans and Sweater Vest
Sweater vests give off major academia vibes, so embrace the aesthetic while keeping it casual with some on-trend wide-leg jeans.
You can wear the sweater vest alone or layered over a white button-down shirt for a classic look—the wide-leg jeans will make this pairing look modern and fashion-forward.
As for shoes, go for some chunky loafers, combat boots, or sneakers.
3. Cargo Maxi Skirt, Crop Top & Sneakers
AD
Just as cargo pants are very in style right now, so are cargo skirts.
A maxi-length cargo skirt is perfect for school since you won’t run into dress code issues with its long length, and its roomy fit is actually comfortable for sitting through classes all day. And, of course, it looks cool and has oversized pockets, which is always a plus!
There are a bunch of ways to style a cargo maxi skirt, but you can’t go wrong with the simple, effortless approach: wear it with a cropped t-shirt or long-sleeve top and some casual sneakers. This outfit is on-trend but surprisingly functional!
4. Graphic Print T-Shirt, Corduroy Pants & Sneakers
A graphic print t-shirt can be a fun way to make a statement at school, whether by showing off your fave musicians or locations—this tee says “Switzerland” on it. Paired with some straight-leg corduroy pants and lifestyle sneakers, this outfit is giving major cool-girl vibes.
Of course, feel free to swap out the cords for a pair of jeans (though the corduroy adds some texture and overall flair to the look).

Give the outfit a laid-back feel by wearing it with sneakers (think New Balance sneakers or Nike Dunks) and add in some layered necklaces, rings, and earrings for a put-together vibe.
6. Onesie Romper, Button-Down & Sneakers
AD
Onesie rompers have become a recent fashion favorite, and for good reason: they make getting dressed a breeze! Throw one on, and you’re ready to go—no need to worry about matching a top with bottoms.
A white button-down shirt is one of the best lightweight layers to wear during the spring, especially one with an oversized fit. By wearing a button-up over this cute tank onesie romper, you’ll give it less of an “athleisure” vibe and more of a casual, everyday vibe instead, especially with a cute mini purse and some casual sneakers.
If you want to go the athleisure route, style it with an oversized hoodie, baseball hat, and running sneakers for another springtime look.
7. Cargo Pants & Crochet Top
Two big spring trends are cargo pants and anything crochet, so why not wear them together for a cute spring ensemble?
Opt for light and bright colors to make the outfit feel more seasonal; these cool cargo pants will match most of your wardrobe, while the colorful crochet top is fun and eye-catching. Complete the look with slide sandals or sneakers.
8. Shacket, Denim Shorts & Sandals
A pink shacket feels bright and fresh for the spring season while also being a great lightweight layer. And if you can’t wait to break out your denim shorts before the summertime, a shacket is the perfect way to wear them sooner in the spring!
The shacket will give you just the right amount of warmth while matching the laid-back vibe of the denim shorts. Underneath, you can wear anything from a crop top to a graphic print t-shirt. Bring the look together with some flat sandals like Birkenstocks.
Summer Outfit Ideas for Teens
Summer is just around the corner, and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait! There’s so much to look forward to, from days at the beach or pool to backyard BBQs.
These cute summer outfits for teens will be perfect for the summertime and all the fun, carefree days ahead.
9. Floral Print Dress & Sneakers
Floral print dresses are a classic for the summertime, and this one has a girly vibe with a gathered bust and open cage-design back.
While you can totally go the feminine route and style it with some cute sandals, you could also give it a more casual look by wearing the dress with sneakers and crew socks (one of this season’s big trends).
10. Graphic-Print T-Shirt & Denim Shorts
Jean shorts are going to be your BFF in the summertime.There are many ways to style them, but you can never go wrong by wearing them with an eye-catching graphic print t-shirt.
Add cute accessories like a necklace, bracelets, a belt, and sunglasses to this easy outfit combination. You can also wear a lightweight cotton or linen shirt over the top (these are especially great on summer nights when it gets a bit breezy).
11. Floral Print Skirt, Crochet Top & Sandals
Why not try a boho-inspired look this summer by wearing a floral print mini skirt paired with a crochet top and flat sandals?
The A-line silhouette of this mini skirt gives it a flowy look while also being lightweight and airy—perfect for a hot summer day (or night). As mentioned before, crochet is a big trend right now, and it gives the skirt a boho feel, especially with some lace-up flat sandals.
12. Denim Short Overalls
Overalls have made a total comeback, and they are such a fun alternative to regular denim shorts during the summertime.
Go for an easy, laid-back look by wearing short denim overalls with a t-shirt and sneakers or sandals; you can also wear them over a bikini as a unique cover-up or with a crop top and sandals throughout the summer.
Warm Fall Outfit Ideas for Teens
Nothing is worse than dressing for chilly mornings but sweating by the time your lunch break rolls around! That’s often how it goes in the early fall when the daytime temperatures are still warm.
If you’re looking foroutfits to wear during the transition from summer to fall, try the following looks.
Pro tip: the key is layering!
13. Midi Skirt, Hoodie & Combat Boots
Midi skirts are surprisingly versatile: you can low-key wear them all year round, depending on how you style them!
For early fall, try wearing a dark floral print midi skirt with a basic t-shirt, lace-up combat boots, and a hoodie over top. You’ll easily be able to stash the hoodie in your bag or locker if/when you get hot later in the day, but it’s perfect for those chilly early mornings. It also makes the outfit less “fancy” for school, along with the combat boots that add edge.
14. Shacket, Jeans & Sneakers
Shackets are the perfect outerwear option for the early fall, providing just the right amount of warmth while still being lightweight. You can throw this textured shacket on over jeans, shorts, skirts, and even leggings since it has a high-low hem that gives you extra coverage in the back.
Wear it over a white t-shirt with layered necklaces, straight-leg jeans, and either sneakers or chunky boots for a put-together look. If it’s a hot day, swap the jeans for denim shorts instead!

15. Faux Leather Jacket, Plaid Pants & Boots
A faux leather jacket is a wardrobe must-have that will add a cool, stylish edge to your outfits. It’s not too heavy, making it ideal for the early fall.
There are many ways to wear this versatile piece, but one stylish option is to wear it with plaid pants, a t-shirt or crop top, and lace-up combat boots. The plaid print gives the faux leather jacket a fall feel, while the combat boots add to the edgy aesthetic. Try accessorizing with a stretchy headband since these are a big trend.
16. Flannel Shirt & Jeans
Plaid flannel shirts go hand-in-hand with the fall season! This is because they look cute and seasonal and because flannel has more “weight” than fabrics like cotton. Opt for a plaid flannel shirt if it’s not yet sweater weather.
I love this flannel shirt’s dark green color palette, plus its cropped length, making it more trendy and modern. Wear it on its own or layered over a t-shirt (so you can tie it around your waist later if the temperatures rise) with a necklace or two.
Complete the look with the jeans of your choice, plus sneakers or ankle booties.
