Secondary school teachers- what are you wearing in the heatwave?

Or anyone who can help.

Need to be covered up but cool. 42 forecast here. Was day off today so loafed about in front of a fan.

Dress code relaxed not not specified for females as they said it was easier for women. Men can wear a polo shirt. Pupils in PE kit.

Not school but public sector, tomorrow I'm going in loose linen trousers a T-shirt and Birkenstocks

I'm a bit worried the linen trousers are too warm

Short sleeved midi jersey cotton shift dress from Boden.

My classroom is an oven.
Loose cotton midi skirt, cotton oversized t-shirt, both M&S.
Clarks sandals, comfy and don't rub.
Still too hot, though!

Cotton summer dress and Birkenstocks. Tomorrow I’m going for cotton trousers and white v neck tee,

Early years rather than secondary - midi t-shirt dress and converse.

Primary school here. Thin cotton maxi dress and trainers.

I was off because of covid but going in tomorrow. Pregnant as well so going to be a struggle 🙈
I'm going to wear a thin midi dress.

Thanks everyone @linenalltheway I have linen culottes and was thinking the same

I have a linen skirt and I'll find a t shirt that doesn't have polyester in although they all seem to!

I think I'd be too hot in a jersey dress

All through school here (special Ed)

Today I wore a cotton midi dress and cycling shorts underneath with trainers. We aren't allowed open toe shoes.

No open toes (or trainers) here either.
I did a huge floaty dress. Did a lot of wafting

Loose oversized cotton tunic with cotton skirt today.

Tomorrow will be a cotton, oversized midi dress.

Hair up.

Today was brutal for everybody. No air con in most rooms and a lot of lethargic students. Several without water bottles...

I would avoid knitted jersey or t shirts at all costs. Knitted items trap warmth and are insulating.

woven items are much cooler and don’t hug the body.

A short sleeve jersey midi dress sounds terrible for the heat. I’d be wearing linen. That’s the coolest fibre there is, followed by cotton.

Textile Science degree.

Ok so no skirt is a linen viscose mix and my t shirt is 100% cotton so I should survive. Dress to change into at 3pm when kids go but too thin/ casual to wear during day
