How do teachers dress?

The only time ties and jackets might be required are in events of meetings with students' parents or meetings with administrators.

Female teachers tend to wear tailored pants, a skirt, or a semi-casual dress. They coordinate pants and skirts with blouses or sweaters.

Both male and female teachers might wear these shoe options to work:

• Dress shoes

• Loafers

• Boat shoes

• Flats

• Heeled shoes

• Boots

Athletic shoes, such as sneakers or tennis shoes, might be acceptable at certain academic institutions, while forbidden or discouraged at others.

Dress code policies at schools can vary and may depend on if the teacher is working at any of the following kinds of schools:

• Pre-school

• Elementary

• Middle school or junior high school

• High school

• College
