Take inspo from the Nineties this September...

Remember when summer came to an end and a new school term waslooming? You’d head to class shiny lunchbox in tow, patent Clarks shoessqueaking down the corridors.

And the greatest thing about heading back to school was the chance tograb yourself a brand new bag to throw over your duffel coat.

And this season we’re taking inspo from the Nineties with a hark backto our childhood days. Yes, we’re talking backpacks.

It's always difficult deciding what to wear, even more so on your firstday back - whether you’re returning from a sun-drenched break or stillrecovering from Bank Holiday weekend.

We're harking back to our school days and re-inventing the '90s backpackthis season

Undoubtedly, the backpack is one of the most timeless accessories outthere. They literally never go out of fashion, just look at cult classicClueless, which is another great reason you’ll want to be styling one.What could be better? And if this hasn’t made your mind up, then don’tworry, as these shopping must-haves sure will.

The Classic Backpack

We know what you’re thinking. Plain? Won’t that be boring?

Well the answer to that is no, it’s a common misconception that plain isdull because with the right pairing and accessories, you can achieve thateffortlessly done minimalistic look. Just think of how many outfits youcan incorporate in true Scandi fashion...

The minimalistic look compliments your clothes more and bringsattention to it. We're particularly loving the triple pocket blackbackpack from Topshop.

Top tip - pair with a floral dress and cardigan to help the bag

As soon as anyone hears floral, it’s obvious who they're talking about,especially when it comes to bags. Cath Kidston, of course.

The pattern of these bags will add colour to your outfit andinstantaneously brighten up your look. They will never go out of style.But don’t go too full on with your outfit - wearing too much colour andpattern can make you look too loud.

So think about pairing a floral bag with a simplistic outfit, such as a plaincold-shoulder top and black jeans. Remember, accessories such as awatch are everything when it comes to complimenting an outfit.

We cannot wait to get our hands on this must-have backpack fromCath Kidston.

The Metallic Backpack

This option is more of a statement piece as metallic backpacks have thepotential to really make an outfit.

Pair with frayed jeans and a simple t-shirt as this helps to emphasise thecolour of the bag. ASOS is the place to shop when on the hunt for theperfect accessory. We're particularly lusting over their metallic goldbackpack.
