Assembling a back-to-school wardrobe can mean hopping from store to store, hunting down deals on clothes your kids actually want to wear. When your child’s school has a dress code or requires uniforms, though, it’s kind of a blessing in disguise. And if you can find a one-stop shop with plenty of solid options for regulation school clothes at reasonable prices, you’re golden.
That’s what makes French Toast such a sweet spot for back-to-school shopping. The brand has been carrying high-quality school wear at consistently affordable prices since 1985, so families of all budgets can send their kids to school every day looking effortlessly sharp and ready to focus. In fact, French Toast specializes in value-priced uniform bundles meant to last the whole year. And for kids with looser dress codes, the store has a slew of elevated basics — kids can rock these outfits at religious services, family events or anyplace their jeans-and-sneakers combo won’t cut it.
And now’s the time to stock up! French Toast is offering SheKnows readers 15 percent off sitewide when you enter code SHEKNOWS15 at checkout from now until August 31 — and that’s in addition to the site’s everyday sales. And if you rack up more than $99 worth of back-to-school clothes, you get free shipping, too.

French Toast has a cool feature that lets you shop online with more accuracy, too. It’s called ‘Find Your Fit,’ and it asks for four key measurements. Then it recommends sizes that should suit your kid, so you can narrow down your options instead of buying too much stuff (and returning half of it later). They’re brimming with size options, from toddler through young adult, including plus, husky and adaptive styles to accommodate kids of different abilities. It’s a smarter way to shop.
Dig into these six French Toast scores that redefine back-to-school style.
