Affordable Back-to-School Uniforms for Kids, Tweens & Teens That Are Made To Last All Year

Got back-to-school on the brain? In addition to school supplies, this is the time of year to hunt for affordable school uniforms, if your kid’s school requires those. Of course, value is as important as cost; you’ll get the best bang for your buck from well-priced school uniforms that hold up to endless back-to-back washes throughout the year.

For that reason, we’re fans of affordable, quality retailers like French Toast, Target and Old Navy because they carry huge inventories of kids’ uniforms that will keep your little one looking fresh until school’s out for summer. But every retailer on this list has something great to offer when it comes to scoring a uniform on a budget. With prices starting at just $4 and plenty of top-rated products discounted by more than 65%, it’s safe to say these are some very smart buys.
