It's the age-old story of summer break: it's here and gone before you know it. Although there are a few more weeks left of summer yet to enjoy (don't worry, we won't rush them!), back-to-school shopping is always a great way to ease back into the swing of things. So as your kid gears up for the school year, make sure she's outfitted with the essentials she needs to have her eager for the first day back and you confident she's wearing durable pieces built to last.
We've rounded up some of our favorite school-time essentials from Athleta Girl to make heading back to the classroom stylish and fun. Each piece is designed to tackle the school day as well as postclass playing or practicing. Plus, thanks to practical details — such as strategically placed pockets, UPF 50+ sun protection built right into the fabric, and some of the softest (and stretchiest) material out there — these pieces are destined to be some of your girl's new favorites.
