Student teachers: Tips for dressing appropriately for the classroom
TEACHERS SHOULD REFLECT THEIR ROLE MODEL STATUS IN THE WAY THEY DRESS
As teachers you are role models. As role models you need to look and dress in ways that students can respect and emulate. Therefore all teachers should dress tastefully and conservatively, but also with a casual flair.
Female teachers should wear nice coordinated suits. They can also wear a dress with a suit jacket or just a nice dress. They can also wear nice pants with a suit jacket. They should always wear nylon stockings and stylish shoes to match there coordinated outfits. Nice sweaters are also okay with pants or a skirt. Dress up your outfit with a matching scarf.
Pants, dresses, and skirts should fit well and not be too tight. Blouses should be conservative and never too low cut. Button your blouses up stylishly and wear nice coordinated scarves with your stylish outfit.
Shoes should be chosen with great care. Never wear sneakers unless you are the gym teacher. You should be wearing a pump or a two-inch heel. A nice flat shoe that is stylish is okay especially if you are tall. Color coordinate your shoes to your outfits.
It is a good idea to have a wardrobe of clothes especially for teaching. About five skirts, five slacks, five dresses, and five suit jackets that you can mix and match. Also include a collection of nice scarves. Jewelry should be minimal. But if it is tasteful, it is okay. A nice watch is always okay.
Men should also dress in a way that is both casual and gives a well-dressed look. They can wear nice sweaters, and comfortable shirts. A few different suits are also nice. They should also have a mix and match wardrobe which also includes a few nice ties. Shoes should be comfortable dress shoes or loafers. Don’t wear sneakers unless you are the basketball or football coach. Shirts can be white or colored. Van Huesan dress shirts in colors are very nice with Van Huesan matching ties. White shirts are the most conservative, but a nice solid-colored dress shirt should be okay and look very stylish. If you sometimes have to roll up your sleeves during that chemistry experiment you can still look casual enough and still be stylish and well dressed.
Men should wear nice long socks that are tight fitting around the ankle so that when your pants leg accidentally rolls up, you will still maintain a well-dressed look.
Makeup and hairstyles are also part of the appropriate wear for the role model teacher. Women’s hairstyles should be both conservative and stylish. And men should always maintain a nice well-groomed haircut.
For women, makeup should also be tasteful. Your makeup should reflect your stylish role model look of both conservative and casual taste.
Your role model wardrobe will be appreciated and emulated by both your students and their parents. Your role model wardrobe will give you respect as a teacher and give you a professional look that combines with the professional aspect of your image as a teacher who is also a role model.
