I went to a high school that required school uniforms, and Lord, am I grateful to wear whatever I want now (especially as a remote employee). Believe it or not, a pair of high-quality khakis pants for kids can be more pricey than jeans, but luckily, you have a school uniform expert to help you find some pants and polos under $15 and $20.

I'll be honest, if you want some polos that will last nearly 100 washes for the whole school year, you need to check out American Eagle. I know it's not the most budget-friendly, however, these options from Amazon, Walmart, and Target will definitely last you through the semester if you're grabbing 2-3 options, and the whole school year if you're getting an outfit for every day of the week.

3. Amazon Essentials Boys' Cargo Jogger Pants
If skinny chino and classic cargo pants aren't your son's style, then consider these jogger pants. Yeah, they don't have that straight fit or dress pant look, but believe it or not, these sweatpant-style cargo pants just might be school-approved.
They might not be popular with little boys, but the jogger pants are definitely in style in middle and high schools. Sorry, but as a fellow Gen Z, I understand wanting to add your own flair to boring school uniforms.
There is an elastic waist and drawstring closure for a perfect and relaxed fit. Since these are stylish enough for everyday wear, kids can pair these with a hoodie or a fun graphic T-shirt for shopping, dinner, and more.
Best for Girls
