Looking Professional in Blue Jeans
There was a time when teachers wearing jeans in the classroom was tabu, but recent years have seen an increased acceptance for wearing jeans in the classroom. Even pre-Covid, many schools offered a casual friday option where jeans were allowed.
And now, with remote teaching and hybrid instruction, even more teachers are exploring the denim options. But how do you look professional in denim, especially when you teach teenagers? Here are some ways to branch out into denim while maintaining a look of chic prefessionalism!
