Our "Back-to-School" Picks for Him

All good things eventually have to come to an end, but no one really wants to think about leaving those lazy summer days behind to hit the books again in September. However, Roots has thought of a few great reasons to look forward to going back to school: our new clothing and accessories! Beat your back-to-school blues by shopping for new fall arrivals at Roots and your first day back might not be so bad.

Men

Every guy should have a comfy, classic polo shirt in their wardrobe, as polo shirts are an easy way to look stylish without looking like you just threw something together. That's why we love the Malaspina Slim Polo Shirt. It has a slim fit for an athletic look, and it's made of 100% organic cotton so you can feel great about helping the environment. Pair it with shorts for warm September days, or jeans for when the weather cools off. At $46, it's a back to school must have!

Our next suggestion for back to school picks is the Rockwood Chambry Shirt. This $55 shirt is perfect for days when you want to look a bit more polished and professional. Made of premium ultra-soft cotton fabric with Oxford styling, this is a classic shirt that can be dressed up or down, with cargo's or dress pants.

For cooler days in the fall, we love the Klondike Full Zipper Sweater, $98. Made from 100% premium merino wool, this sweater is luxuriously soft and stylish. Wear it open for a casual look, or zip it up for a more polished look. We would pair it with a tee or a nice dress shirt underneath, like the Rockwood Chambry Shirt we mentioned above. The other detail we love about this sweater? It has reinforced wool flannel elbow patches, adding a sophisticated flair to it.

 

A back to school wardrober wouldn't be complete without a pair of comfy sweats to lounge around in while doing homework. The Tagish Sweatpant, $60, is great because it has a drawcord for easy adjustment, pockets for storing your keys or phone in if you're dashing out for a coffee run, and are made of a durable cotton/fleece blend.

Want an easy way to look like you should be on the cover of GQ? Check out our Men's Forest Check Poorboy Hat $30, for an instant style update. Stretch fitted for comfort, this hat has a smooth, clean fit that will complement any outfit, from a tee and jeans to a button down shirt and pants. Perfect for impressing your friends at school!

 

No back to school wardrobe would be complete without an all-around great backpack. The Graduate Sport Backpack $58, is amazing because it's eco-friendly: made of recycled polyester from pop bottles! It's also well-designed, with multiple pockets for all the school essentials you can think of, from places to store your water bottle, to your pens and pencils, binders, books, laptop, cell phone, and more. We love it, because although it can hold tons of school essentials, it doesn't look huge or bulky, rather it looks sleek and functional.

 

Now that you have some suggestions for your back to school wardrobe, you're all set! Thinking about back to school wasn't so bad, was it?

I really like the Klondike Full Zipper sweater. It looks stylish enough to wear to work but comfortable enough for a casual night out. Definitely going to keep it in mind the next time I go shopping for a gift.
