As a teacher, coming up with fun outfits can be a headache. Here are the best easy to copy teacher outfits that you’ll surely love!

Gone are the days of boring outfits for teachers and bland uniforms. Since classes are in full swing, teachers are often left confused about what to wear every day, especially if their school doesn’t have a strict dress code or a uniform.

In this article, we’ll provide some ideas about how to inject some personality into your outfit while retaining a school-appropriate look.

First and foremost, as you already know, teachers are required to dress appropriately for school, which means no plunging necklines, no super short shorts, and no tank tops or strappy tops that expose the shoulder area too much.

Teacher wardrobe staples are cardigans, long-sleeve blouses, denim jackets, midi and maxi dresses, pencil skirts, and even blazers. Jeans are acceptable and a favorite of many, but ripped jeans are a no-go.

If you’re a teacher, feel free to mix and match clothes to create your own fun wardrobe! An important part of the learning experience for students is to have an approachable teacher, and this vibe reflects on what you’re wearing. While you can wear neutral-colored clothing, don’t be afraid to venture out to bright colors and pastel colors as these are generally more friendly-looking.

Last but not least, your wardrobe style should of course reflect who you are teaching: while colorful overalls can be a fun addition to a preschool, elementary school, or even middle school teacher’s wardrobe, you should probably steer clear from them if you work in a highly academic high-school (but you already knew that, we know!).

Below, we found the best outfits for teachers that you can recreate! Most of the clothes featured below are shoppable, so if something has caught your eye, just click on the photo and it will take you to the retailer’s website to order.
