Back to School 2015 at The Americana at Brand

A few picks from the stylists at The Americana at Brand help you keep that summer boho attitude fresh while phasing into back-to-school fall style: Pair distressed denim with simple details, like a braided cuff for him and an indie-chic inspired necklace for her, to bring each of these looks together. And don’t forget the bag— roomy leather totes and printed backpacks put simply average book bags to shame.

The Americana at Brand is your go-to for co-ed cool prep basics for back-to-school style. Ladies, layer up a crisp white button down with a sweatshirt that shows a little city pride, and balance out the look with ripped skinnies that give just the right amount of grunge. For guys, book end a great pair of jeans and a basic sweatshirt with flashy shades and classic pair of cool kicks. A book bag is essential to complete the classic preppy look — a rucksack backpack adds a rugged edge for him, while a fringed backpack adds an unexpected flirty twist for her.
