Exploring back-to-school autumn fashion can be so much fun. After the long summer holidays, little ones are bound to be excited to see all their friends again – think of all those play dates, after-school activities and birthday parties that will be filling their diaries in the coming weeks and months.
If they wear a school uniform during the day, that doesn't mean they can't express their own style. Whatever the uniform policy, items like bags, coats and trainers allow them to show their personality. To help get them ready for new adventures, check out these essentials from our back-to-school collection. Whatever their taste, we've got them covered.
Backpacks
Every student and intrepid explorer needs a good-quality backpack. This DKNY flap-closure backpack fits the bill perfectly, with an on-trend 90s look and elasticated side for all those bits and bobs. Or how about this Billieblush rucksack with its festive multicoloured glitter print? And for after-school sports, this KENZO KIDS backpack covers all the bases.
Trainers
Kids like happy feet, and the last thing your child wants to worry about is tying laces. These BOSS elasticated trainers solve that problem. Or with these KENZO KIDS trainers, little princesses can don shiny tiger straps that are bound to be a big hit with their friends. Cool kids will love these KARL LAGERFELD KIDS low-top trainers. Available in classic white or black, they make a bold statement with their contrasting design.

Lots of party invites and activities mean they'll need to have the right jacket. Like this KENZO KIDS varsity style – the elephant embroidery on the back is a real eye-catcher.

A classic sweatshirt is an essential part of any back-to-school wardrobe. Like this ultra-soft KENZO KIDS hooded sweatshirt made from 100% cotton corduroy. Or maybe they prefer a zip-up, like this Lanvin hooded cardigan with handy kangaroo pockets.
