From Desk to Playground Duty: Our Bamboo Outfit Inspiration for Teachers
Teaching is more than a profession - it’s a lifestyle that calls for versatility, comfort, and long days on your feet. For educators, the daily hustle of guiding young minds often leaves little time to think about what to wear, and dressing comfortably yet professionally is essential.
Our selection of bamboo clothing pieces provide the perfect solution for teachers, offering breathable fabrics, timeless styles, and unmatched softness to keep you at ease through a busy schedule.
We know it can be overwhelming figuring out where individual pieces can fit into your wardrobe and how to style them, so we’ve saved you the hard work and put together our favourite outfit combinations for teachers in this blog post.
Whether you're leading a classroom discussion, supervising outdoor activities, or attending parent-teacher interviews, these outfits strike the balance perfectly between functionality and fashion.
Outfit Idea 01: Avril Bamboo Trench Coat + Aretha Bamboo Top + Ciara Bamboo Culotte Pant
Blending practicality with timeless style, this outfit combination is ideal for a number of reasons.
Our Avril Trench Coat is worn open to provide a polished, professional look while also serving as a practical layering piece. Whether you’re moving between classrooms or transitioning from the cool morning air to the warmer afternoon, it’s ideal for managing your comfort throughout the day.
A pair of culottes is a staple in any wardrobe, but especially for teachers who spend long hours on their feet or need flexibility when interacting with students. Our Ciara Culottes are both functional and stylish, ensuring you stay comfortable without compromising on appearance!
Finally, the Aretha Top in stripe brings personality to the outfit while still maintaining the neutral colour palette that makes this look so versatile - a black and white combination is timeless and allows for easy mixing and matching with other pieces in your wardrobe, offering endless outfit possibilities.
Outfit Idea 02: Nina Quilted Vest + Kelly Ribbed Long Sleeve Top / Whitney Maxi Tube Skirt
For this next look we paired our Kelly Ribbed Long Sleeve Top and Whitney Maxi in the same rich earthy tone, our chocolate shade. The result is a seamless and polished look that is perfect for a professional setting, while still ensuring all-day comfort and an on-trend feel.
Adding one of our newer addictions, the Nina Quilted Vest introduces another layer of warmth and versatility. This piece is not only practical for cooler mornings or air-conditioned classrooms, but it also elevates the outfit with a touch of texture. The vest’s sleek design ensures that the overall look remains professional, while the snap closures and zip detail add subtle, stylish functionality.
All together the effect is a balanced look that’s both grounded and sophisticated, effortlessly combining chic with something that meets the demands of a teacher’s dynamic and active workday.
Outfit Idea 03: Stella Oversized Slouch Tee + Ross Ruched Midi Skirt + Lauper Coatigan
This outfit is an excellent choice for those teachers looking to combine professionalism with a touch of elegance.
Crafted from a blend of cashmere and bamboo, our Lauper Coatigan brings an element of sophistication and indulgence to the ensemble. Not only does it serve as a layering piece in a similar way to the Avril Trench, it also feels incredible soft and luxurious on the skin.
Adding a Stella Oversized Slouch Tee in a print brings a bold, yet refined element to the outfit. The snake-inspired design adds personality and visual interest, making it a standout piece while still maintaining a professional tone. We went with the snake-inspired design because the neutral tones of the print pair beautifully with the black skirt, but the Stella is available in many other prints if animal print is not your thing!
Finally, the Ross Ruched skirt ties the look together by highlighting a tailored silhouette that’s ideal for workwear. Its knee-length design ensures a modest and professional appearance, while the ruching detail adds a modern, flattering touch.
