What does the end of summer mean for you? Is it the state fair, fresh corn on the cob, sweet, juicy honeydew melon? Does it mean one final trip to the beach or the waterpark? Is it time spent at little league baseball tournaments, or maybe just a few more relaxing hours in the hammock before it gets put away for the season?

However your family likes to spend the rest of the summer, there’s one activity that you can’t help but make time for: back-to-school clothes shopping. 

It’s always nice to start a new school year with new school uniforms. Besides, summer growth spurts have turned last year’s clothes into hand-me-downs, so shopping is a must-do. Thankfully, French Toast makes back-to-school clothes shopping hassle-free and easy. We’ll help you save time and check stylish school uniforms off your list so you can still squeeze in one last weekend of camping before school starts.

Back-to-school clothing checklist

If you’re a person who makes lists, grab your back-to-school clothing checklist. If not, that’s okay. We’ve got one right here to help you prepare for the school year. Here's a quick rundown of how many school uniforms to buy for the new year:

  • 5 Polos (long and short sleeve)
  • 1-2 Oxford shirts/blouses
  • 2 Pants
  • 2-3 Shorts
  • 1 Jumper/dress
  • 2 Leggings 
  • 1-2 Skirts/Skorts
  • 1 Sweater
  • 1 Hooded sweatshirt or fleece jacket
  • 1 Jacket/Blazer
  • Tights/Socks
  • Ties and belts

Shop uniform bundles to save time

Do you know about French Toast school uniform bundles? Bundles include a variety of styles, like pants, long and short sleeve polos and a hoodie, for example — up to nine pieces that give students enough versatile uniform tops and bottoms to wear for the week. Parents or caregivers meanwhile spend a lot less time adding items to an online shopping cart. 

When you shop French Toast bundles, you get to select the color of each individual item. For example, if your school allows three different colors, you can customize your order with the colors you need to match your dress code. On the other hand, if you need all navy polos or all light blue polos, we can do that too!

WHAT PARENTS SAY:

“I love that I can choose the colors, and they are exactly what is expected at my child's school. Her school is uniform-based, and this is a perfect match to our needs.”

WHAT PARENTS SAY:

“I think this is great because it exactly meets the requirements of my child's school, has a good variety and it's wearable for all school seasons.”
