While it feels way too soon to be thinking about Back-to-School shopping, the start of the new school year is just around the corner, and Land's End is offering some really nice deals on good-quality school uniforms right now.

Galionite is honored to partner with this well-known company to bring you this short review of school uniform sale prices you can take advantage of via online shopping.

Get Ready for Back-to-School in Galion

With uniforms becoming more and more the norm at public schools, it’s no surprise that preppy styles can be found throughout back-to-school wardrobes. But, preppy doesn’t have to be stuffy, and uniforms don’t have to be uncomfortable. Here are some of our favorite preppy pieces from Macy’s and Lands’ End.

Girls Uniform Plaid Jumper

(I can't remember if plaid jumpers are allowed in the dress code for Galion schools, but this is image was provided by the company as one of their most popular styles in school uniforms.)

Available in seven different plaid prints, this Girls Uniform Plaid Jumper doesn’t cling like so many jumpers do. That’s because it has a smooth, taffeta-lined bodice that won't catch on clothes worn underneath. There's also neat edge stitching at the armholes and neckline to keep the lining in place and an invisible back zipper.

Boys Iron Knee Pants

The building block of any school uniform, these chinos from Lands’ End are reinforced with Iron Knees for incredible durability where he needs it most. They feature an elastic waist and easy-care blended cotton/polyester fabric.

Tommy Hilfiger Boys Preppy Gingham Plaid Tie

Tommy Hilfiger adds vibrant color to his formal look with this classic gingham necktie. At an everyday value price of $14.98, this tie will have your boys looking sharp without breaking the bank.
