teachers and denim skirts - whaddya think

[FredAboutAFred]

yay or nay
we arent talking pammy anderson ones here
more like white stuff

and it aint me

think this was the skirt in q

Nope
But am against denim in anything other than trouser form

Why on earth not? Its a nice respectable if slightly dull skirt. How do you think teachers should dress?

no idea

I'd have done cord but not denim.

Smacks of can't be arsed or trying to be trendy.

Also, teachers in denim always makes kids lol.

Think of jeans with a crease down the front on school trip days.

depends on what she was wearing it with. Looks mumsy to me, but then I suppose teachers should ideally look slighty mumsy/non threatening/non sexual at work

the kids where i taught had never noticed teachers werent allowed denim jeans. think skirts are ok
" oh arent they?" they said

cord is ok.

I think no, I think denim is maybe too casual for school. Nice skirt though.

oh no looks nice on
long boots
etcetc knitted tights

where i used to work it was all suits

current gaff uber cas

I like that white stuff one and am in desperate need of more forgiving denim for my bottom half.

But I do wear jeans to school...but in a smart way

DS teacher always wears tight pencil denim skirt and bosom skimming tops. She's no spring chicken.

She is a brilliant teacher though so I forgive all sartorial errors. She can wear nipple tassles and leather pants as far as I'm concerned.

funny how diffo schools have diffo cultures of staff dressing isnt it
primary teachers are all in cargo trousers

men dont have to wear ties at mine

My school is actually staffed by quite a few slim tall white stuff/Boden types so sartorially we are not too bad.

Also some great 70's teachers who's stuff is so trendy now its painful (altho they are oblivious)

fine I think
but then I wear jeans to work unless I'm in court

in yoorp they are all much more chilled arent they

there are only 2 male teachers at DD's school (not inc Head who doesn't teach). One is Mr Berghaus, all outdoorsy practical bri-nylon and the other has terrible tast in 'amusing' polyester ties and heinous short sleeved shirts. Ties and short sleeved shirts. Horrid.

DD has 2 teachers (job share) and they are both boots, smart trousers, roll necks type women

Fine imo

Wouldn't be allowed in our school. HEad would have a fit. She thinks the women teachers are a slovenly lot as it is.

Our teachers - even the young ones - seem to have to sign a 'we will wear mumsy clothing' clause before they start. A denim skirt would cause waves of consternation in the staff room I expect.

I think a little too casual really.

DS's teachers all seem to dress nicely but the men wear ties and the women seem to do smart trousers or skirts.

I don't do denim skirts myself, but it's not a bad one. Not too tarty, not too frumpy.

A lovely child asked me why I was wearing an 'apron' today. it was a patterned wrap dress

skirt fine
except if teamed with a matching jacket like this
