Olive Juice Kids Back to School Collection is “inspired by a bold Fall color palette found on the streets of Paris.” The collection is really timeless and classic and a touch on the preppy side. The more I explore the Olive Juice website, the more I add to my Wish List.

Classic Back to School Clothes
As any mom to boys will tell you, it can be a challenge to find “good” clothes for little dudes. And by good I mean clothes with no cartoon characters, no animals, trains or dogs. Olive Juice has good, classic clothes that would make any mama proud. The color palette is pleasantly simple with lots of navy and red and perfect for fall with oranges and deep tans. The cut and style together with the use of stripes and plaid gives the pieces a modern feel, and buttons adds some detail to certain styles, like the Liam Topper.
We received a Liam Topper in a very fall-friendly orange color called Carrot. The style is so simple that it’s gender-neutral and can easily be worn by boys and girls. My son is wearing it this year, but I have no doubt my daughter will wear it in a year or two. The machine washable sweater is made of 100% cotton knit. It is intended to reach the hip and has a higher neck but certainly isn’t a turtleneck. There are four buttons from the armpit to the top of the neckline that add a nice detail and make the sweater easier to get on and off. The fit makes it easy to layer on top of button down shirts or polos. It looks adorable with jeans but is equally appropriate more dressed up with nice pants.
Gibson Shirt ($46.50), Christopher Polo ($29.50), Oliver Pant ($46.50)
I absolutely love the girls collection at Olive Juice, too. Everything looks feminine without being overly-girly.
Bailey Top ($34.50), Charleston Sweater Dress ($54.50), Straight Leg Jean ($56)
To Buy or Not to Buy
To Buy… The Liam Topper is a great staple piece for a fall and winter wardrobe. It’s easy to wear and comfortable for your child and also machine washable so it’s easy to maintain for mom. The entire Back to School Collection is versatile and wearable so I think it’s worth considering a piece or two for your tot’s closet.
Or Not to Buy… There’s no reason not to buy the Liam Topper sweater. The price tag is slightly higher than I usually like to spend on my kid’s clothes, but I know both kids will wear it so that makes it a great “investment” piece.
Shop! The entire Back to School collection is available at OliveJuiceKids.com. The Liam Topper Sweater is $48.50. Make sure you check out the Summer Clearance Sale to save up to 60%. (Love the Audrey Top for $16.95 and Classic Polo for $12.95).
