Macy’s back-to-school campaign celebrates how students’ styles are constantly evolving from year-to-year and, in some cases, even week-to-week. This year’s commercials feature fast-paced fun fashion transitions showcasing Macy’s brands, value and inspiration while highlighting the joy and confidence of the perfect look and owning your style.

“The fresh start of a new school year brings a clean slate for everyone to make new friends, create new experiences and show their own take on back-to-school dress codes,” said Matthew Sebra, Senior Fashion Director, Macy’s. “At Macy’s, we know that style is unique to each student. We’re looking forward to helping students of all ages own their style with the latest school essentials and Fall trends.”

Back-to-School Style

This school year, you can’t go wrong with blue jeans, fresh sneakers and a stack of T-shirts from Monday to Friday. Whether it’s a perfect pair of Epic Threads joggers or high-rise Levi’s, these staples are an effortless look that will never go out of style. This year, incorporate different design patterns with a casual look. Layering a beloved hoodie over a dress from Cotton On or sizing up a button-down from CK Jeans adds a comfy dimension to picture-day-perfect looks.

Get creative and make a major statement with wearable art: think everyday denim jackets with appliques, paint-splattered looks you won’t have to worry about in the wash or bold graphic tees. For in-person and campus classes, start easy with backpacks that’ll make kids stoked to go to class like cosmic prints and tie-dye options from Jansport, to colorful and protective laptop backpacks from Kipling. Don’t forget to grab an insulated lunch bag or box featuring your favorite characters.

Beauty

Bring that extra glow of first-day confidence with must-have skincare products that will help students put their best face forward. To prep for picture day and homecoming, Macy’s offers a wide range of brands and products for a finishing touch of glam—from Lancôme and MAC to conscious beauty brands that are great for your skin and even better for the earth. For those looking to tame their mane, Drybar and Sutra Beauty are the perfect hair tools that can make styling hair stress-free.

Dorm

Whether you’re living on or off campus, Macy’s has dorm room décor and more that college bound students will love—from tapestries and twinkle lights to a compact coffee maker from Mr. Coffee and a vacuum from Shark. To help establish a home-away-from-home vibe, students can show off their creative side with mindfully made, modern bedding from Oake or a range of charming patterns and stunning solids from Martha Stewart Essentials.

Reading is Fundamental

Macy’s customers and colleagues are helping kids across the country prepare for school by raising more than $1.5 million for Reading is Fundamental, the nation’s largest nonprofit organization supporting children’s literacy. The funds were raised throughout July to support this longtime partner and the belief that every child should own books, learn how to read and obtain the fundamental building blocks to achieve their highest potential. In its 18th year of partnership, Macy’s and Reading Is Fundamental have together raised more than $46 million in donations, providing nearly 15 million books and thousands of digital literacy tools to kids across the country.

Macy’s is a founding partner of RIF’s “Race, Equity and Inclusion Initiative,” which provides books and literacy resources to the most marginalized, the most disenfranchised and the most at-risk youth in America, located primarily in underserved communities of color. Providing children with reading materials that reflect their own lives, families and cultures promotes positive social identities while building literacy skills.

Macy’s, Inc.’s social purpose platform, Mission Every One, is the company’s commitment to leverage its business and brand to tackle the barriers of representation to create a brighter future with bold representation.
