Clothing for cultural dress day.

[CulturalConfusion]

I work in a school. We have a regular Cultural Dress day, where staff are also expected to dress up, which is coming soon. Some staff have national dress, some wear cultural clothing as appropriate. British staff flounder about in a variety of wellies and England tops if various sports. We really celebrate our cultural diversity as a school and the kids will be making an effort.

Last year, I wore a 50s dress and make up, but it felt quite strange. I was brought up on traveller sites and I'm really not very ladylike or 50s style at all! I'm considering site clothes, but they are perhaps not work appropriate and it's no longer my world, really. It's what I feel closest to, if asked to dress to my culture, though.

What would you wear for English cultural dress? Any ideas?

Thank you all.

Lots to consider and lots I hadn't thought of. I'm strongly considering the site clothes on the back of this; you'd honestly not be thinking badly of teaching staff with this background? Then red, white and blue as a back up.

And after all, @Mumtobabyhavoc is right, it's work, so there's definitely no point worrying about it 😄. Good to be reminded!

I’d honestly think more of a teacher who went to university from a background that might have made that harder.

I agree - I'd think better of you, not badly!!
