Now that kids have been back in school for a little while, the craziness of switching routines yet again is finally dying down a bit. But with the packed calendar that comes with back-to-school season, we also get a full roster of school activities that are just for parents. Whether it’s something more formal, such as an evening fundraiser, or a more casual day of volunteering in your child’s classroom, it seems like there’s always a school-related event to attend—which also means you need outfits to wear to them.
While we know it’s most important that you’re just showing up for your kids, you might get stuck trying to figure out what to wear for these types of events—or maybe you’re just looking for some outfit inspo to mix things up this school year. That’s why we’ve put together seven outfits for every school event you might attend this year. Check them out below.
How we styled these school event outfits
You know you’re unlocking a new era in parenting when you get excited to dress up for school-sanctioned events more than your kids do. If you think about it, each of these events is a milestone for parents as well. That’s why our goal with these outfits was to take one thing off of our plate. Rely on these easy outfit formulas, and you won’t have to spend the time figuring out what to wear. Whether it’s your first time or you’re well-seasoned in school events, we made sure to create outfits that will have you feeling your best. We included pieces that you may already own, ones that are great investment pieces, and, of course, items and accessories that are versatile enough for many occasions.
