3 Fun & Easy Back-To-School Looks That Give You Back Your Mornings

Back-to-school season might not look the same this fall, but whether you're gearing up for a year of virtual learning or coordinating a carpool schedule, one thing remains: school mornings always seem to rush right by. From breakfast mishaps to hitting snooze one too many times, a stressful dressing routine is the last thing you need when you're trying to get out the door (or online). Luckily, we've figured out a few tricks that can make planning looks for you and your kids so much more enjoyable.

In partnership with H&M, we're sharing how stylish mom Aissatou Balde is using a handful of key pieces to create stylish, cohesive looks for the whole family. With bold prints and unique silhouettes, these expertly-curated outfits are sure to make even the busiest mornings feel a little bit more relaxed.

Palette Play

Mixing patterns might seem intimidating, but pulling prints from a common color palette can create an effortless sense of style among a range of looks. Better yet, choose a printed dress or denim overalls for all-in-one outfits that are packed with personality.

Understated Coordination

Mother-daughter dressing isn't always one-for-one, and coordinating in subtle, understated ways allows for even more creativity. This workwear-inspired jumpsuit in dusty baby pink creates the perfect jumping off point for your little ones' looks, like a cheetah print dress with a coordinating pink graphic.

Style Twins

Another way to create a strong mother-daughter look is by sticking to a style vibe — in this case, laid-back and bohemian. A breezy printed maxi dress pairs perfectly alongside comfy wide-leg jeans and chunky metallic sandals.
