Summer festivities, like Teen Vogue Fest 2026, are the here and now, but soon enough it will be time for back-to-school outfits. To avoid the Sunday scaries, a little planning can go a long way—at least when it comes to the looks. Making notes of styles you love and want to try out this school year will come in handy when you start to feel like you’re running out of things to wear halfway through the week.

Luckily, we saw plenty of outfit ideas from our super stylish Teen Vogue Fest 2026 attendees and made sure to snap some pics of them. So, if you’re looking for what to wear in the 2026-2027 school year, you’re in the right place. Scroll on for the back-to-school outfits we think you’ll see a lot of this year!

Striped dresses

When school starts, the weather will still be a little warm, so you may not be able to reach for your trusty striped sweater just yet. Instead, try a striped dress. They still feel casual but are adorably chic and can be dressed up with fun accessories.
