A pesky rumor has plagued the hallowed halls of our youth for as long as we can remember: teacher fashion is an oxymoron. Sweater vests, shapeless dresses, and clunky loafers are just some of the stereotypes that have clung like chalk dust throughout the years.
Educators have taken notice and are fighting the typecast that perpetrates unprofessionalism. They know that ingenuity, skillful teaching methods, subject knowledge, and management of the classroom will only take them so far. In order to be taken seriously by their students, educators must also demonstrate a level of professionalism in their attention to appearance that helps set the tone and expectations in the classroom.
Need some proof? Take a lesson in fashion from four of my favorite fashion bloggers who work in education:
{Julie Leah: A Life and Style Blog} Julie is the quintessential Southern belle. Her blog features feminine fashion that is colorful, classic and fun. Plus, her collection of beautiful accessories is envy-worthy (and luckily completely attainable)!
{Classroom Couture} Margo’s blog highlights her love of color and beautiful fashion finds. She expertly mixes classic pieces with bold, trendy ones and owns a swoon-worthy shoe collection!
{Kelly In The City} If you love classic, beautiful pieces, monograms, and pearls, you will adore Kelly’s fashion blog. Hailing from Hoboken, New Jersey, this city girl’s style is cheerful and polished – a perfect combination!
{The Teacher Diva} Ashley’s style is effortlessly chic and classic. Elegant, feminine silhouettes paired with trendy accessories and gorgeous tresses are the hallmarks of her beautiful blog.
