Dress Code: Cool Back-to-School Clothes

Keep It Simple: Vanessa Hudgens could be at a real high school musical in this fresh-off-the-plane ensemble. Her look is casual but current. The cropped leather bomber jacket, graphic tee, long wrap scarf, skinny jeans, and knee-high boots are spot on for the season and totally age-appropriate.

Bomb Sqaud Not everyone can wear a cropped leather jacket (generally this piece should be reserved for the 35 and under set - or a total rockers) but even if you're not a student, you should give it some thought.

'Tis Jean Season One of the best elements of fall shopping is getting to buy a new pair of classic boot-cut jeans. Give your skinnies a break and opt for denim with some flare at the bottom to accomodate for the inevitable winter boot.

Jean jackets are available in a variety of chic styles these days. Mandy Moore was right to pair hers with a slouchy white T-shirt and a black pencil skirt. It's a dynamic piece that can make even the fanciest of outfits more casual.
