Back To School
Back to school doesn't have to mean boring. Stock up on tees, jeans, and backpacks from brands like Vans and Empyre - plus JanSport, VLONE, and Vitriol. Graphic tees, baggy denim, and packs with laptop sleeves and reinforced straps. Clothes that actually hold up, in styles you won't hate wearing every day.
What clothes should I buy for back to school?
Start with the basics that do the most work - a few graphic tees, a solid pair of jeans (Empyre's baggy fits are a go-to), and a backpack that fits your laptop and your life. Layer in some accessories and you're set for the whole year without overthinking it.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for clothes?
The 3-3-3 rule is a simple way to build a wardrobe without losing your mind - 3 tops, 3 bottoms, 3 pairs of shoes that all mix and match. It's not about wearing the same thing every day, it's about buying smarter so every piece actually gets worn. Grab a few Vans colorways and some Empyre basics and you've basically got it handled.
What style is coming back in 2026?
Baggy denim, skate-influenced silhouettes, and loud graphics aren't going anywhere - if anything they're getting bigger. Brands like Vitriol and VLONE are leaning into oversized cuts and bold prints, which lines up with where street and skate style is heading. Wide-leg pants with a dropped crotch, heavyweight tees that hit at the hip, that's the direction most of these brands are cutting toward right now.
