Going back to school means a lot of work for parents. Find out what to remember and how to help your child create a school outfit that will be comfortable and functional.

School outfits - what to wear and what not to forget?

The start of the school year is shopping time. We put together school accessories, pencil cases, backpacks and supplies. Before the new school year, it's also worth checking the wardrobe to see if we have the essential items of clothing needed for school. Especially if it's the first year of school and we don't yet have suitable clothes from previous years.

School clothes are not only the outfits your child will wear every day, but also a special, dedicated PE kit, or a special outfit for particular occasions, the so-called formal wear. Generally, for school you need to stock up on the same clothes your child wears every day, you just need to make sure there is an appropriate amount.

How to dress for school? What should school outfits look like?

A school outfit can be varied. Much depends on the child's age. Younger children need help preparing their school outfit, choosing the right items of clothing, and also creating finished school looks that are cohesive and appropriate. How to dress for primary school? Above all, it's not worth overdoing it - it's better to opt for a comfortable outfit than to choose overly smart clothes that the child won't like. A child spends several hours a day at school, and comfortable school clothing will certainly make this time easier.

School looks – what to avoid?

With younger children there isn't much of a problem choosing the right school clothes. However, when it comes to older children who want to decide for themselves how to dress fashionably for school, you only need to make sure the kids don't go overboard. School looks for a 12-year-old may differ from the outfit of a 7-year-old, but a teenager's outfit must not be provocative or inappropriate. Hats should not be worn at school, and clothes should not contain offensive elements or slogans. Provocative, see-through outfits or overly short clothing should also be avoided. School clothing should be clean, tidy and suited to the student's activities.

A school outfit designed by the child helps them express themselves, so there's no need to stop teenagers from creating their own, original outfit ideas. Although you can't go too wild at school, school clothing doesn't have to be boring. You can experiment with colour and create really interesting school outfits that will catch the eye of other students and let them stand out. What's worth stocking up on to make creating a school outfit even easier?

• tracksuit jacket – a garment that's great not only for school events; choosing a less typical colour can give you a great base for outfits
• sweatpants – an irreplaceable item for school. Comfortable, freedom-allowing trousers are the best choice regardless of the occasion, well, except perhaps for school assemblies
• culottes – an interesting option aimed at girls. Loose trousers can replace favourite sweatpants when you want to create a new school look. They look really interesting and are comfortable.
• zip-up sweatshirt – a practical model for various weather. It can be zip-fastened, snap-fastened, with or without a hood. This is definitely a model worth having.
• polo shirt – available in long or short sleeve. This shirt looks great, can be used for a smarter outfit, while remaining very comfortable.
