It's getting time to think about back to school - hard to believe! Fortunately we're already seeing online back to school deals on kids clothes for 2025 from popular trendy yet affordable U.S. children's clothing brands.
The Children's Place
The Children's Place is much more affordable than it first looks! They have on-trend children's clothing to fit sizes newborn to 18 - and pricing for most items are similar to what you'd see in discount stores. So you can get better clothes for an affordable price point at The Children's Place. Here are their online back to school deals for 2025:
- Backpacks starting at $15 & Lunchboxes starting at $5 - valid now through August 11th 2025
- 1st day of school graphic tees $3.99 - valid now through August 11th
- Free Shipping on $30+ Orders - valid now through August 11th
- Entire Site 40-60% Off *exclusions apply - valid now through August 11th
No coupon needed; pricing includes discount
Old Navy
Old Navy isn't just for adults! In fact, I find that their children's clothing is actually trendier and better value for money than their adult clothing. Sizes start at newborn and go all the way through high school. Best of all, a lot of effort has been made to ensure age-appropriate styling - their toddler clothing has different designs than the middle schoolers, for example. This isn't the case for all children's clothing stores.
I also like that Old Navy isn't the first place most people think of for young children's clothes, so it's also good if you want your child to not wind up with the exact same outfit as another child. For back to school this August 2025, they have this online sale happening:

Gymboree
Gymboree is where you shop when you want boutique style children's clothing at a low low price point. Their clothes have lovely detailing and have that upscale look you'll love. How can it be so cheap? It's because it's owned by The Children's Place, so they can apply the economies of scale and their existing supply chains to their fancier Gymboree creations - passing along the savings to you.
In other words, yes a brand with similar styles as Gymboree that started from scratch would be hard for customers to afford, but this is simply not the case since Gymboree is already owned and managed by well-known brand The Children's Place. Here are their online deals on kids clothes for early August 2025:
- Take 20% Off when you spend $100+ or 15% Off when you spend $75+ or 10% Off any order with code SAVE - valid now through August 12th
- Limited time! Free Shipping on $30+ orders - valid now through August 12th
If you shop this deal, remember to type in coupon code SAVE at checkout to get the discount
Carter's
Carter's and their related upscale brand OshKosh B'gosh usually have an online back to school sale running. The details may change at the time of writing, so it's worth checking out their home page to see what's happening. Both brands are a good choice for younger children since styles are geared from newborn to age 12.
Janie and Jack
Janie and Jack is a boutique style children's clothing brand which has otherwise hard-to-find items such as formal wear for young children, in addition to their everyday clothing lines. If you value great craftsmanship, you'll love Janie and Jack. Prices are a little higher than the other stores mentioned here, but it's worth it for when you need an outfit that makes a difference. Bear it in mind for photo day or holiday outfits. For this year's back to school deals, they have an online sitewide sale which includes free shipping:
- Free Shipping + 20% Off Markdowns - valid now through August 10, 2025
No coupon needed; pricing includes discount
Cotton On
Cotton On is originally an Australian brand but is also available from right here in the U.S. As the name suggests, most of their clothing lines are made of cotton. Their children's clothing, Cotton On Kids, features splashy colors and a ton of attitude. If you have a child who likes to be noticed, this is the brand for them! This back to school season 2025 they have an online deal especially for kids wear:
No coupon needed; discount applied at checkout
French Toast
Back to school would not be complete without French Toast! It's a popular U.S. brand which has every type of school wear your child could need. So if your child's school has a color-coded dress code or a uniform, you'll want to shop at French Toast. Their items are stylish, high quality and durable - and come at an affordable price point. At the time of writing they are offering discounts on polos and bottoms, but it's worth checking out the home page because they frequently update their sales at back to school time. Here's the back to school online deal for 2025 I mentioned:
