Skirt, Shirt, and Shacket

This look is a great blend of dressy and casual. The skirt is comfortable, sandals are always a win, and the shacket is great for those freezing cold classrooms.

Buy it: White Flutter Sleeve Shirt at Dry Goods, Pink Knit Shacket at Dry Goods, Pink Skirt (similar) at Amazon

Ruffle Dress

I love this dress! I purchased it for the first day of school. Anyone else treat themselves to a first-day-of-school outfit? This dress is the comfiest material. If you’re comfortable in a wedge, the ones linked below are cute, but I also think it would pair well with a flat or sandal. Because unless it’s test day, it’s sandal/flat day.

Buy it: Ruffle Dress at Amazon, Wedges at Altardstate, Sandals at Amazon

Jeans, T-Shirt, and Cardigan

This look is a Walmart find! I love the fit of the jeans and they are very comfortable. The cardigan is a staple in every teacher’s wardrobe. This outfit is perfect for casual Friday and always makes for one of the cuter teacher outfits.

Wide-Legged Dress Pants and Silk Top

If you’re at a school that has a fancier dress code, this look is for you! It could also be a great ensemble for a teacher interview. The kitten heels are truly comfortable for work, but you could  sub in flats for heels if you’re looking to dress it down.

Buy it: Black Silk Top at Express, Cream Dress Pants at Express, Kitten Heels at Amazon

Colorful Pants and Checkered Sweater Vest

Ride the Barbie wave! There are pops of pink in several of these outfits because it seems everywhere you go, Barbie has invaded! I don’t mind it at all. I love brighter colors especially when the weather feels dull. It makes me feel like I am combatting the gloom with my outfits.

Ankle Cargo Pants and Flowy Top

This outfit is so comfortable! This is head-to-toe Old Navy. The cargo pants can be cinched at the ankle, and the flowy top is a perfect balance. And add those mules to the cart!

Denim Dress

I’ve been on the hunt for a good denim dress for a while now. I found this at Express and wasn’t sure how I’d like it, but I love it! It is a heavier denim material and I think the sleeves are so fun.

Black Dress Pants and Striped Dress Shirt

I love the classic black-and-white combination. Both the top and pants can be mixed and matched into countless combinations. Swap out sandals for a pair of closed toe shoes, and this is another great outfit option for a teacher interview.

Printed Pants and Shacket

Step outside of your comfort zone and try a bold pant! If you’re shorter (like me), you may need them hemmed, or you can wear them with a boot.

Maxi Dress

The puffy sleeves, the ruffles, the length of this dress may make you want to glide through the rows of desks like you’re in a beautiful garden collecting flowers in your basket.

Barbie-Core Pants and White Top

Pixie pants are a perennial teacher favorite! They come in many prints and colors. Pair with a simple top or sweater and you’re all set.

Comfy Dress

I think the reason why I choose dresses so much during the weather-appropriate months is just because they are the easiest option. I just have to think about one piece and I’m all set. This one is like wearing a T-shirt—a big long bed-time T-shirt.

Buy it: Short-Sleeved Tiered Knit Dress at Walmart

Pencil Skirt and Silk Top

This is another great outfit for a teacher interview. If your dress code leans more polished and sophisticated, this pencil skirt and peplum shirt is a cute combination.

Pink Silky Pants and Smiley Face Shirt

If you want to wear pants that feel like pajama pants, these are the winners. Pair with your favorite teacher T-shirt.

For those casual Fridays at work, add this oversized sweatshirt to your closet. It comes in several colors and is a great fit. Add a new pair of jeans to your cart to put into your denim rotation.
