Globetrotting Mommy: Coolest Backpacks for Back to School

It’s time for back-to-school shopping and today I’m sharing my picks for the coolest backpacks.  I was at a Momtrends Back-to-School event last week and learned that the hot fall colors are…..cobalt, orange and berry. Read on if your tots are starting Kindergarden like mine, college kids backpacking through Europe or anywhere in between…

Blue has always been my favorite color so I’m loving these cobalt backpacks for boys.

The Hanna Anderson Monster, L.L. Bean Shark, LeSportsac Stripes and Hannah Anderson Airplanes are all fun backpack designs for young boys.

There is no shortage of adorable backpacks for young girls this fall…

The Lands End Purple Dot, LeSportsac LeFlower, Itzy Ritzy Owl and Pottery Barn Mackenzie designs are great choices.

Older girls can get in on the berry trend with these stylish picks…

This JWorld Dexter berry and blue print backpack from Target is stylish and sophisticated. Fjallraven backpacks from Sweden are all the rage here in NYC and this pink on pink version will stand out from the crowd. Vera Bradley is showcasing some awesome prints this fall and I just love this berry leopard spots backpack. Lastly, this orchid JWorld Collis backpack from Target is casual and comfy.

Older boys will find fun patterns and styles to choose from like…

Green and Navy stripes at Pottery Barn Kids, orange and navy Herschel Supply Co. color block at J. Crew, tech prints at Lands’ End and classic solids at Jansport.

Tween and teen girls will adore these stylish options…

Camouflage is still going strong and I love the hot pink trim on this Gap backpack.  Vera Bradley’s Orange and Berry Ziggy Zags backpack is so fun and on trend especially with coordinating accessories like bracelets, wallets, phone covers and lunch boxes. Orange is the new black and this Jansport off-trail backpack at Madewell is bright and bold. And for the fashionista who loves metallics, check out this rose gold foil snake backpack from LeSportsac.
