If not for denim, people would resort to gardening in tuxedos and stonewashing their sequin gowns. Stay casual with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing and accessories at Dr. Denim, and its sister stores, Demin Code, Net, Unica, and USA Boutique. Choose from 10 locations. This Groupon is also redeemable online.

Dr. Denim cultivates casual elegance with a cornucopia of fashionable denim, athletic wear, and casual clothing from an all-star list of brands that includes 7 For All Mankind, Fossil, Marc Jacobs, Rock Revival, Adidas, and Nike. Stage an appareled attack with a Lacoste starburst crocodile graphic tee ($35), whose fierce reptilian graphic will cause the horses stitched on the polo shirts of your enemies to quake in fear. The Unica floral leggings ($14.99) embellish stems with efflorescent blooms. Outfit small athletes in the pocketed Adidas junior firebird tricot track pants ($30), or apply your Groupon toward a pair of high-end Miss Me boot-cut jeans in white wash with button closure and studded wing back pockets ($108).

Dr. Demin also purveys back-to-school basics, such as the spacious two-compartment North Face vault backpack with adjustable straps and a foam back panel ($45). An assortment of stylish playground kicks includes the Youth Ferguson Low EZ sneaker by Polo Ralph Lauren ($47), available in a variety of colors to perfectly accent a school uniform or a pair of accidentally tie-dyed gym shorts.
