10 best places to buy school uniforms this year

French Toast has been in the school uniform game since 1985, so it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about how to make shopping for them as easy as 1-2-3. They’ve got a robust selection of styles and you can even shop by school to ensure you’re adhering to the exact requirements. We also love that they stock adaptive styles!

You can always depend on Lands’ End for long-lasting back-to-school gear. Their backpacks and lunchboxes always top our best of lists and their clothing is top notch as well. Not only do they offer a wide range of uniform options across styles, colors and patterns (including 10 different plaids!)–they also make it super easy to purchase exactly what your kids’ school is looking for with a “Find My School” option.

As usual, Old Navy comes through with an affordable collection of essentials from polos and oxfords to chinos and jumpers. With pieces start at just $10, and a 1-year guarantee, you can fill a cart and not completely zap your budget.

When it comes to hues, nowhere offers a wider range than The Children’s Place. Choose from polos and an array of 16 colors from the typical navy and white to lesser found options like turquoise and golden yellow. They’ve also stocked chinos, shorts, skirts and dresses in sizes from toddler to teen which in many cases can be bought in money-saving multi-packs.

With a collection of brands including Lands’ End, French Toast, and their own labels All in Motion and Cat & Jack, Target can really be your one-stop shop. They’ve got a ton of styles at super reasonable prices as well as a generous return policy on their owned brands. Throw in socks, underwear, and a backpack and you’ll have the entire chore checked off your list in record time.

With wallet-friendly pricing and a large selection of reliable basics, Kohl’s is worth a look. Many of their styles including colorful polos, pants and skirts are available in petite and husky and you can even get your shoe shopping crossed off the list while you’re at it!

Uniform shopping or not, Primary is always one of our, well, primary back-to-school shopping haunts. Their sustainable and colorful essentials are ideal for mixing and matching and always keep their shape and color through relentless washings. Choose from a range of polo styles, oxfords, dresses, shorts, pants and even some cute layers for chillier days.

Gap stocks a classic collection of styles in sizes 4/5-4/16 including pull-on pleated skirts and stretchy twill khakis. Their fits are stylish and comfortable which is helpful if you’ve got a kid who isn’t exactly in love with this particular wardrobe requirement.

With sizes that literally range from infant to teen, Janie & Jack’s sophisticated pieces are a bit on the pricier side but it’s easy to see why. The styles and construction are a bit more elevated than what you typically find with options like wool suit blazers and crisp button downs that don’t shrink no matter how many times you have to wash them each week.

Crisp, timeless and always super fresh, Tommy Hilfiger’s Uniform Shop offers a curated collection ranging from oxfords and polos to shorts and chinos. Their fabrics are great quality which keeps kids comfortable and ups their chances of making it not only through the school year but perhaps into the hand-me-down pile as well.
