The back to school outfit is arguably the most important of the school year. Picking out the right combination of clothing and accessories for that first day can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, as you try to nail your new look after a summer away. But, if anyone knows how to put together the perfect back to school look, it’s the fashion and art students in New York City.
From highly curated ensembles to comfortably unisex fits, all seemingly topped with silver grunge jewelry and chunky footwear, i-D photographed some of the students at Parsons and the New School on their first day of class.
