personality-packed pieces for every kind of kid
—
As the school bells ring in a new term, it’s time to swap beachwear for backpacks and get little wardrobes ready for a fresh season of learning, running, and laughter.
This year’s best back-to-school outfits are packed with soft layers, cool prints, and clever details. Whether your child is bold, low-key, artsy, or athletic, these picks help them show up in style (and still make it to class on time).
Sproet & Sprout – Handcrafted Prints For Everyday Play
Rooted in creativity and comfort, Sproet & Sprout is known for its distinctive, hand-drawn prints—each one crafted in their Amsterdam studio. Their designs blend artistic expression with everyday wearability, making them as fun as they are functional.
This season brings three standout looks we love: cosy dog motifs, red-and-lilac stripes, ruffled collars, and vintage-inspired knit pullovers. Soft fabrics, relaxed fits, and conversation-starting prints make these pieces comfortable from the first bell to the last.
WHEAT – Everyday Dresses with Timeless Charm
From classroom to playground, WHEAT’s dresses bring comfort, movement, and classic design to everyday moments. The Alissa Dress is a refined take on everyday dressing, made in soft cotton with a heritage check, frill details, and a relaxed A-line shape that layers beautifully with knits and tights.
For a cosier option, the Maggie Sweat Dress blends sweatshirt comfort with a feminine silhouette—featuring gentle gathers, a loose fit, and WHEAT’s signature print. Both are perfect for back-to-school style that carries little wardrobes effortlessly from summer into autumn.
BoxBo – For Rainy Days
The Wistiti Rain Jacket from Boxbo is made for puddle-jumping pros and fearless playground explorers. It’s waterproof, breathable, and crafted from 100% recycled polyester, with reflective prints that light up in the dark for extra safety and fun.
To complete the look, pair it with Wistiti Rain Boots, made from natural rubber and lined with cotton for cosy toes. For days where it’s drizzling, pouring, or just muddy underfoot.
