As the summer heat rolls in, teachers everywhere are looking for stylish and comfortable outfits to beat the heat while staying chic. I’ve scoured Amazon to find the best summer fashion for teachers, focusing on quality, comfort, and affordability. For reference, I’m 5 feet, 8 inches, and about 160 pounds. Here are my top picks that have become my go-to pieces this season.
1. 3-Pack of Knotted Straw Headbands
These knotted straw headbands are a game-changer for summer fashion. They are incredibly comfortable to wear and effortlessly go with any outfit. Plus, they are very affordable, making them a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re in the classroom or out on the town, these headbands add a stylish touch to your look. My favorite time to wear them is when I didn’t get a chance to wash my hair!
2. Lightweight Hoop Earrings
These gold hoop earrings with white straw detailing are my new favorites. They are light, comfortable to wear, and tie any outfit together beautifully. They add a touch of elegance without being too flashy, perfect for both professional and casual settings. I tend to take hoop earrings off after a couple of hours because they weigh me down; however I can wear these hoops all day.
3. 3-Pack of Cropped Sports Tank Tops
These cropped sports tank tops come in a variety of colors and are made from light-weight, soft material. They are perfect for summer workouts or wearing under any outfit. The versatility and comfort of these tank tops make them a must-have for the summer. They pair perfectly with the high-waisted biker shorts as shown in the picture if you don’t want to show your mid-drift. I honestly can’t believe they come in a pack of three!
4. 3-Pack High-Waisted Biker Shorts
These high-waisted biker shorts are a revelation. Super light-weight with deep pockets, they are incredibly soft and comfortable. I’m practically living in these this summer. I wore these all week when I went to Disney World earlier this year. They are also very forgiving in the stomach area!
5. Loose, Flowy Tank-Top
This loose, flowy tank-top is made of super soft material and can be dressed up or down. I’m planning to wear it while teaching ESY (Extended School Year) because it’s the perfect length and keeps me cool. It’s a versatile piece that works well for various occasions. The one pictured below has oranges, yellows, and blues. Amazon has many patterns available.
6. Sleeveless, Crew-Neck Maxi Dress
This sleeveless, crew-neck maxi dress in a beautiful lavender color is a summer staple. The quality material and flowy design can be dressed up or down. It’s another piece I’ll be wearing while teaching ESY, as it combines comfort and style effortlessly. The best part is that it has DEEP pockets. I will be able to carry my phone, walkie-talkie, and anything else I need while teaching.
7. Cushionaire Sandals in Oily Brown Color
These Cushionaire sandals are a great alternative to Birkenstocks without the expensive price tag. They are well-made with a super comfortable sole. I recommend getting a half size up for the best fit. These sandals are perfect for long days on your feet. Amazon does lightning deals on these frequently.
Summer fashion for teachers doesn’t have to be expensive or uncomfortable. These Amazon finds are perfect for staying stylish and cool during the hot months. From knotted straw headbands to comfortable sandals, these pieces will keep you looking and feeling great all summer long.
