If you’ve ever shopped at Target, then you know they’ve really gotten deep into making jeans part of their standard merchandise offerings (remember William Rast for Target?). And to further push that agenda, they enlisted a “music teacher” to tell parents and kids—via a quirky synth-pop serenade—what they need in order to look good for back to school. It’s essentially a commercial on what you can buy at Target, but denim is the not-so-subtle suggestion. What’s also interesting is how spot-on that this music teacher reminds some of us here at Denim Therapy of a certain 9th-grade journalism teacher.

Nasty Gal’s new summer inventory is loaded with rad jeans and denim accessories we’re all over, but this denim backpack is too cool for school. If you’re packing up your books and hitting the classroom with style this summer or next fall, invest in this chic little carry on that is just the right size for your paper-bag lunch and sociology text. It’s medium wash denim with camel faux-suede panels (gives it a bit of edge compared to the one you may have carried in the ’90s). Slip your cell in the phone compartment inside and you’ll be good to go. Study hard, denim-heads!
Schooled Denim Backpack ($48) – buy it at Nasty Gal.
