#9 – MOTORCYCLE JACKET
Get your back to school wardrobe in gear with the first must have, a bussin leather motorcycle jacket. We’re talking faux leather here, natch. Not only will this zippered, belted, snapped beauty glow up any look you have, it’ll also be your major go-to when you’re heading out for the night.

#8 – SWEATER VEST
Speaking of keeping cozy when things get chilly. Our next must have takes our summer vest obsession and transforms it into full autumn acadamia energy. So many options, too!
