Back to school styles are ever-evolving, but one article of clothing that never goes out of style is the humble t-shirt. Kids can wear t-shirts with jeans, athletic pants, shorts, stylish leggings, or even a cute skirt. They can dress it up with a button-down shirt over it or dress it down with a hoodie on top. Long-sleeved or short-sleeved, back to school t-shirts make the grade every time.
