The Best Back-to-School Outfits for Teachers

As a teacher, your back-to-school wardrobe is essential to setting the tone for the new academic year. You need professional, comfortable, and stylish outfits while also being versatile enough to handle a variety of classroom activities. Here are some top picks for back-to-school outfits to help you start the year on the right foot.

1. The Classic Dress

A classic dress is a must-have in every teacher’s wardrobe. It’s easy to wear, requires minimal styling, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

• Fit and Flare Dress: This style is flattering on most body types and offers comfort and ease of movement. This is my favorite Fit and Flare Dress.
• Sheath Dress: Perfect for a more formal look, a sheath dress can be paired with a cardigan or blazer. Check out this chic Sheath Dress.

2. Comfortable Pants

Having a few pairs of comfortable yet professional trousers is essential. They can be mixed and matched with various tops for a fresh look every day.

• Straight-Leg Trousers: These are versatile and can be paired with blouses or sweaters. These trousers have an elastic waist and pockets. Those are two of my favorite things.
• Wide-Leg Pants: These offer comfort without sacrificing style. Check out these Wide-Leg Pants.
• Leggings: These offer comfort and style and can be paired with just about any top. I like this brand of leggings. These fit and wash well.

3. Blouses, Tops, and Tees, Oh My!

Blouses and tops are great for layering and can add a pop of color or pattern to your outfit. Tees are fun and casual and can be worn with just about any bottom.

• Button-Down Blouse: A classic button-down is always in style. Here’s a Button-Down Blouse that can be dressed up or down.
• Peplum Top: These tops are flattering and can be paired with both skirts and trousers. I really like the style of this Peplum Top.
• Teacher Tee: I can’t have enough teacher tees. You can pair tees with leggings, jeans, and denim skirts. Here are some back-to-school tees. There are so many to choose from. Shop more teacher tees here.

4. Cardigans and Blazers

Layering pieces like cardigans and blazers are perfect for transitioning between different classroom environments and temperatures.

• Open Front Cardigan: A soft, open-front cardigan can add warmth and style to any outfit. This cardigan is my favorite. It is lightweight and comes in many colors.
• Classic Blazer: A blazer instantly elevates your look. All you need is one (or maybe two) chic blazers in your wardrobe to sharpen up your look. Check out this Classic Blazer.

5. Comfortable Shoes

As a teacher, you’re on your feet a lot, so comfortable shoes are a must.

• Flats: I am a huge fan of Rothy’s (read my post here). These are stylish and comfortable for all-day wear. Pricey, yes, but totally worth it! If you haven’t tried them, you must. Here are the flats and pointed flats I adore. The colors are vibrant and fashionable.
• Loafers: Perfect for a professional yet comfortable look. Check out Rothy’s Loafers too.
• Sneakers: There’s nothing like a cute pair of sneakers for a more casual look. Converse Chuck’s is my go-to.

6. Accessories

Accessories can add a personal touch to your outfits and make them stand out.

• Scarves: A colorful scarf can add a pop of color to any outfit. Because the classroom can be chilly, I wear scarves for both style and warmth. Check out these fashionable and versatile scarves.
• Tote Bag: A large tote bag is perfect for carrying all your teaching essentials. Here’s a cute puffed tote bag and a personalized tote. Shop more totes here.
• Backpack: If you’re not into totes, maybe a backpack is more of your style. I just bought this backpack and it is just what I needed for all my teacher things including my laptop. Shop trending backpacks here.

By mixing and matching these key pieces, you can create a variety of looks that will keep you comfortable and stylish throughout the school year.
