With August in swing, summer is exhaling its last breaths, and while the heat may last, the schedule certainly will be changing for many badass babes. New York schools will be starting in early September so now marks a great point to start back to school shopping. While hitting office supply and bookstores are essential, so is refreshing your wardrobe for a new era of your academic journey!

Women historically have been dissuaded from pursuing higher education, especially in STEM fields so we at Cloak and Dagger want to tell all ladies in any form of education that they are important and valued. You deserve access to education and to feel confident in your scholarly area.

Back to school season may be dreaded by some, but there's a unique excitement in the hustle and bustle of late summer and early fall, knowing you'll be entering a new environment with new classmates and fascinating new subjects to explore. We've compiled a couple items for different academic babes!

For the Fine Arts girls, we have clothes that will promote freedom in your art. The Noble Utility Suit in Oatmilk is perfect for the painter at work, with paint stains adding to your look over time. The Lucia set is loose and free, suited for dancers and actors who need movement and flow. Of course any C&D item is suited for fashion majors but we especially recommend one of the Bardot dresses, inspired by French fashion icon Brigitte Bardot.

For those pursuing a STEM degree, we know you need practical and comfortable garments so you can focus on the details, but that doesn't mean you should sacrifice style! For utilitarian yet unique flair, we recommend the Jem! Pinstripe Jeans, the Stillwater Hemp Romper, and the Recycled Jardin Clogs for those that need comfortable close-toed shoes for the lab!

For the Humanities hotties, you're people who balance communication skills with academic rigor and your fashion should represent that! Humanities have a bit of a light academia vibe to them, meaning the C&D Birkin Le Scoute skirt, the C&D Diana Blouse in White and Peche, and the Primrose Floral Midi Dress will evoke the quality of a modern philosopher, literature pro, or archeology aficionado.

For our girls still in high school, we have plenty of styles that are youthful and academic! The C&D Birkin skirt in both Rosemary and L'Ecole pair wonderfully with a blouse or a cute tee! We recommend the Jem! Perfect Tee in Red and White. The Opana Hemp Clogs would complete this look wonderfully.

Education is stimulating and fun, so make this back to school season a celebration with new styles!
