21 Backpacks To Make Your First Day Of Class A Breeze
The most important back-to-school accessory
The first day of school is quickly approaching, and we bet you’re already starting to plan your day one look.
While we typically spend an absurd amount of time planning our outfits for the big day in advance, what we need to keep in mind is that our accessories are just as important. And no, we’re not just talking shoes.
The backpack is here to get you through your first day of school, and the long months ahead as homework, projects, and textbook weight continue to pile on. It’s crucial to make sure your school bag can carry all your day-to-day necessities, as well as all of those physically taxing school supplies. Carrying a ton of textbooks can be brutal, so it’s really all about that back support.
With that in mind, we rounded up fall’s cutest and most functional back-to-school offerings so you can start off your first day in style. From simpler, minimalist styles to full on eye-catching designs—we’re talking unicorn-esque rainbow metallics and patch-happy quilted satin—we picked 21 bags sure to make your first day a breeze.
