Back to School Clothes for Girls: Get the Look-The Cute and Casual Girl
Laid Back and In Style for Back to School 2009

By Michelle Kouzmine, About.com

The Cute and Casual Look is for the girl who loves to be comfortable and casual but still fashionable. This look is simple to achieve; all she'll need to do is shop for comfortable clothes that express her personality and toss them on. This look really benefits from a splash of color and layering.

What She'll Need for the Look

1. Graphic Tees

Kids love graphic tees. Look for inexpensive tees that are fun, witty or clever; nearly all department and chain stores carry kids' tees. Or if she loves fashion, there are a lot of designer graphic tees for kids by labels such as Little Marc, Small Paul, Juicy Couture, Ed Hardy and more. And the oh-so-fab girl can snag ultra-cool graphic tees from independent designer lines. She can use her tee to really express her personality, make a statement, or just have some fun.

2. Cool Hoody or Zippy

This comfortable layering piece is a girls' fashion must-have. In the beginning of the season, her zippy or hoody can stand in for a light jacket and as the weather gets colder, layer her hoody under her coat for a fun and funky look. For a laid-back yet coordinated look, pair her hoody or zippy up with the matching lounge pants.
