In my
previous post I mentioned that chiffon blouses, singlets and skirts were great
items for your teacher outfits. The basic pieces for a teacher’s wardrobe as I
mentioned previously are already in your wardrobe and I will explain them in
detail and show you three teacher outfits using these basics.
1. White shirts: Perfect basic top for your wardrobe, make sure you wear a white t-shirt or singlet underneath as white shirts tend to be see-through. You can use this as a base for pairing with coloured and patterned cardigans and jackets.
2. White singlet and T-shirt: These two tops
I use mainly as layer pieces for white shirts and sheer chiffon blouses to
ensure your bra isn’t showing. If the
school dress code is more on the casual side you can wear your white t-shirt as
a top.
3. Dresses: A dress that is on the
conservative side is best. Remember my rule of thumb if you can see up it, down
it, or through it don’t wear it. So make sure the dress covers up your cleavage
and is no shorter than a pencil skirt so it should end just below your knee.
4. Skirts: Pencil skirts are useful to wear
every day at school and on formal occasions such as parent teacher interviews
to keep you looking professional. I think maxi skirts and skirts that are the
same length as pencil skirts are great for school as well just make sure they
aren’t sheer, see-through or that students will be able to see up them.
5. Dress pants: Dress pants are my best
friend as they work for formal occasions and everyday as they look professional
and no fuss ass you can bend kneel and move around without any fear of your
undies showing. That being said make sure they fit you well and that they sit
on your waist. In terms of colour I like to have brown, black and grey as you
can mix and match them depending on the rest of your outfit. I like straight
cut pants to wear with chiffon blouses and tops with more volume like jumpers
and sweaters. Flared and wide leg pants will balance out your shape and make
you appear slimmer and taller and match well with shirts and blouses that are more
form fitting and hug your body.
6. Cardigans: Cardigans that are black,
white, grey and beige which are neutral are the best to start off with
especially if you aren’t a fan of bright bold colours. Bright colours and
patterned cardigans are great to add some boldness to your outfits to make them
stand out and reflect your personality.
