Just because you're not the one heading back to the classroom this fall doesn't mean you can't grab a new bag. 

And this fall, patterned backpacks are definitely in. Yes, even for parents.

1. The North Face Women's Borealis Backpack, $89. This durable pack is ready for any back-to-school adventures you're about to embark on. Plus, it comes in 19 different color combos so there's definitely one to fit your style.
2. Herschel's Dawson Backpack, $65. Is ombre still trending? It's still really pretty. This is a great lightweight pack that all comes in a variety of colors.  
3. TaylorHe backpack, $34. This beautiful bag features original artwork and a sleeker shape than a traditional backpack. It is made from PVC, making it easy to clean and water-resistant. 
4. LeSportSac Commuter Backpack, $150. LeSportSac always seems to have the bag you need: note, cosmetic, diaper, and of course, backpack. It's lightweight material and abundance of pockets make it great for fall break trips or long Saturday afternoons filled with activities.
