Shopping for back to school can be difficult. On one hand, you want outfits that you'll be able to wear throughout much of the year. On the other hand, the tiny little shorts and mini skirts you've been sporting all summer won't pass dress code, and it's way too hot to wear jeans just yet, so what's a fashionista to do?

We've got some sassy, fashionable options for you, so don't sweat. You can stay cool in the high temperatures without sacrificing style or risking detention! Check out the gallery to see some of the pieces we love as well as recommendations on how to wear them!

Stay in style and out of detention
