8 Back-to-School Outfit Ideas for Moms, From Drop-Off to Date Night

Shop 8 back-to-school outfit ideas for moms — one chic, put-together look for every occasion, from first-day drop-off to mom’s night out.

September is packed for moms — back-to-school night, parent’s night out and carpool duty, all in one month. I pulled together eight back-to-school outfits for us girls, one for each occasion on the calendar. A belted floral jacket and jeans make the first-day drop off effortless. Likewise, tortoise readers and a maxi dress turn mystery reader and a parent’s night out party into style moments. Finally, leggings make carpool pickup simple, while a peplum top and pencil skirt are ready for a well-earned night out. Whatever back to school season throws at you, getting dressed just got a lot easier.
