The first day of school is fast approaching, and millions of you guys are heading back to high schools and colleges around the world, and we’re reminded of all of the necessary prepping and planning that goes into starting a new year. No, not school supplies or books or which classes to take, but the most important educational pre-game ritual of all: clothes shopping.

As trivial as it may seem, what you wear on the first day of class is a lot like an interview; it sets the tone for not only the entire school year, but in a small way, how you approach getting dressed in your future careers and for the rest of your life.

Since we know how hard it is sometimes to lock in the perfect look, we’ve decided to throw some suggestions your way and suggest some famous style icons for inspiration to hopefully get your minds working after turning to mush over the past three months while you’ve been trying to forget the last school year. Enjoy.
