There is often discussion about the school uniforms, the prohibitions and limited options, but what about the teachers? We believe that the best education comes through modeling, personal inspiration. If teachers adhere to dress codes but still do so in style and creativity, it is likely that students will learn to respect their environment and will know how to express themselves with clothes.
In three days, students and teachers will be back in school, this is a great time for a teachers' guide on how to dress in style and still maintain a strict and respectful dress code.
Button-down shirts
Button-down shirts are a must-have item in every teacher's wardrobe. They offer a classic look that represents elegance. Choose lightweight and cozy shirts on the body in solid colors or with subtle prints. Combine them with tailored trousers or jeans without tears or chafing for an effortlessly elegant and light look.

T-shirts
In Israel, it is perfectly legitimate to wear T-shirts to school, but note that this is a flattering t-shirt that looks good and not one that has undergone thousands of washes and is less suitable for the workplace. You can choose a variety of colors and prints, just make sure that if there are captions on the t-shirt then the caption will represent you.

Jeans
Jeans are a staple of many wardrobes and can be incorporated into your teacher's clothing as long as they are free of tears and abrasions. Choose dark blue jeans or black jeans for a more elegant look, pair them with button-down shirts or elegant shirts for a complex and uplifting look.

Elegant trousers
Fabric pants that offer comfort without compromising style. Choose tailored trousers in classic shades like black, navy or beige for a classic and subtle look or bold colors like fuchsia, green or royal blue for an elegant look with a modern touch. The tailored trousers can be combined with elegant shirts for a meticulous and formal look or with a t-shirt for an elegant look with a light vibe.
Lightweight dresses
Light and elegant dresses are an excellent option for teachers who want to show tenderness while maintaining professionalism. Choose dresses with subtle cleavage, appropriate length, and subtle prints to create a balanced look that respects the dress code.

Flat shoes
Give up high heels, you're going to stand for hours and comfort plays a critical role in the classroom. Elegant flat shoes can be a great substitute for high heels and for a more relaxed look, you can adopt sneakers and connect more with your students' style.
