There are zillions of things on your supply list – notebooks, pens, and the trapper keeper is optional, but you’re going to need something to hold it all.
Whether you call it a “knapsack,” a “backpack,” a “rucksack,” or something else entirely, it’s a necessity. They’re good for the back and just plain convenient.
Luckily for you, we’ve created this handy guide for back-to-schoolers – or those past school age looking to get in on the somehow-hot trend – to find the perfect pack within your budget. Pencils at the ready!:

2. Fjallraven Kanken Backpack ($65): The “Jansport of Sweden” is decidedly cooler than its Stateside sibling. The square silhouette is iconic, as are the great colors it’s made in (golden-yellow, brick, rust, forest green).
3. Wildkin Horse Dreams Backpack ($29.99): Leave it to Target to offer up a Miu-Miu-meets-elementary-school, horses-running-wild pack. Oh, and it couldn’t be cheaper – or more rad.
