Teacher's Guide to A+ Outfits: Chic, Comfortable, and Classroom-Ready

Teacher's Guide to A+ Outfits: Chic, Comfortable, and Classroom-Ready

Teaching at one of San Francisco's top schools like Stuart Hall & Convent, Town, Hamlin, Burkes, Marin Academy, or St. Ignatius means you need a wardrobe that’s stylish, comfortable, and ready for anything. Here’s how to create outfits that earn top marks in every category.

1. Tailored Trousers & Polished Blouses

For a polished look, start with tailored trousers – we recommend Nili Lotan's Fabian Pant. The cut's fantastic and they're comfortable. You'll love pairing these with a silk blouse blouse, knit cardigan set, or a simple cotton button down for a day navigating the classroom. 

And if denim fits your dress code, Nili Lotan’s Flora Trouser is the epitome of stylish comfort and favorite for Fall. 

2. Blazers & Jackets for Layering

Nili Lotan, again, has the best blazers and jackets that can be styled so many ways. Whether layered over a dress or paired with trousers, her jackets are as versatile as they are sophisticated. Some Fall favorites to consider adding – The Paige Jacket, Veda Jacket & Nelson Jacket

3. Effortless Midi Dresses 

Dresses are a teacher’s go-to. They're easy, elevated and can quickly transition from the classroom to an evening out. Ulla Johnson brings us standout options that work beautifully with a blazer or cardigan. 

5. Cozy Sweaters for Layering

San Francisco’s weather is unpredictable, so layering is key. Stock up on sweaters from Nili Lotan, Ulla, Guest In Residence, 27 Miles Malibu, Brazeau Tricot, Velvet, and Rails. Our brands in-store offer a range of stylish options, from light layers to cozy knits, keeping you comfortable in any classroom. 

4. Comfortable, Stylish Footwear 

When you're on your your feet all day, you can't compromise on comfort. It's important you have on-trend shoe options that transition seamlessly with your Fall wardrobe. Rag & Bone has always been our go-to for versatile footwear that stand the test of time. It's all about flats this Fall –check out rag & bone's Spire Mesh Mary Jane or Ulla's Ophelia Flat
