Modest Teacher Outfit Inspo for Back to School

Can you believe it’s already back-to-school season?! Whether you’re setting up your classroom, planning lessons, or just trying to remember how to pack a lunch again, one thing’s for sure: you need outfits that make getting dressed the easiest part of your day.

At Inherit, we’re all about pieces that are cute, modest, and practical, because you shouldn’t have to choose between feeling confident and being comfy when you're teaching.

Here’s a little outfit inspo to help you feel pulled-together this school year without overthinking it.

1. Easy Dresses = Instant Outfit

You cannot go wrong with a dress that feels cozy but still looks polished. Throw one on, and boom outfit done. We’re loving flowy maxis and midis that you can move in, with sleeves that give coverage and styles that don’t need constant adjusting.

Pair with sneakers or booties  and you’re good to go. Add a denim jacket if the AC is acting up (again).

Try this: The Isabella, a favorite for a reason. Pretty, flattering, and so easy to wear.

2. Comfy Skirts That Pass the Vibe Check

Sometimes you want to dress things up a bit without feeling too “dressed up.” Enter: the Jordan skirt. So good with a tucked-in tee, a soft sweater, or even a sweatshirt on chilly mornings.

We love ones that move with you, perfect for sitting on the rug with students or powering through a full day of teaching.

Outfit idea: Jordan + sweater  + comfy sneakers = 10/10 teacher energy.

3. Mix-and-Match Basics That Go With Everything

You don’t need a closet full of clothes, just a few solid pieces that play well together. Think layering tees, simple tops, cozy cardigans, and skirts or pants you can rotate all week.

Build a little “teacher capsule wardrobe” that makes it super easy to get dressed when you’re still half asleep and your coffee hasn’t kicked in yet.

4. Layer Up (Because Classrooms Have a Mind of Their Own)

We all know classroom temps have no chill. One second you're freezing, the next you're sweating. Layers are your best friend, cardigans, jackets, or blazers that you can throw on over your outfit and still feel cute in.

Neutrals are easy to pair, but don’t be afraid to go for a little pop of color if that’s your thing!

5. Shoes That Can Handle Your Whole Day

You’re on your feet a lot. Comfy shoes are a must. Look for sneakers, sandals, or low block heels that you can walk and speed-walk in. Bonus if they look good with both dresses and pants.
