The joke is “What are the three best things about being a teacher? June, July, and August.” It’s true that summer is awesome, but there are so many other amazing things about being a teacher. With Back To School season in full swing, the focus has been on getting the kids prepped for a fantastic year of learning. Truth be told, teachers have been prepping all summer. Teachers, as you prep for the upcoming school year don’t forget to plan your Back To School outfits too!

From the time I was a kid, I looked forward to Back to School shopping. Picking out which puppy folder and which Sanrio pen I wanted brought me maybe a little too much joy. I had just as much fun shopping Modcloth for some outfit inspiration for teachers that are too cool for school.
Too Cool for School: Back to School Teacher Fashion
Flavor Fusion Collared Sleeveless Top in Apple
Keep cool in this sheer, swingy tank with a fun beaded apple embroidery on the collar. There’s a cute back keyhole on this pomegrante chiffon shirt. An apple for the teacher? Try two instead!
Hell Bunny Ain’t That the Fruit? A-Line Skirt in Apples
POCKETS! Stash your stickers or detention slips in these hidden pockets on the high-waisted cotton midi skirt. With illustrated apples and blossoms, you’ll be picking this one for sure.
Short-Sleeved Peter Pan Collar Top in Pink
Apples not really your thing? This sheer blouse is berry cute! Loving the Peter Pan collar that makes me not want to grow up.

Preppy and professional, this 3/4 sleeve cardigan comes in all your school colors plus some pretty cute stripes! It’ll help you keep your cool when classroom discipline goes out the window.
Heart and Solar System A-Line Dress
Science teachers, this dress is out of this world. This A-line cotton dress features a notched neckline, a stellar print, and POCKETS! I know, I already freaked out about pockets. But they’re my favorite feature in a dress.
Dashing Darling A-Line Dress in Succulents
No teaching puns here, but this succulent print doesn’t, well, succ. I just couldn’t help it when I saw this fun print that’ll make you feel like you’re on a desert vacation, even when you’re in study hall.
Ever seen an elephant inside a boa constrictor? Then this shirt’s for you! Maybe a little casual to wear to school with jeans, so add a super cute skirt and heels.

Style is now in session! Teachers get 25% off $100+ purchases at ModCloth I can’t guarantee having super cute outfits will make the school year better. But I’m fairly certain when you’d give your look an A+, the day follows suit!

I’ve been out of school for a minute but the outfits look so cute and comfortable. Oh, I love the flats.
I’m beside myself those flats are so cute.
What fabulous back-to-school looks for teachers. My favorites are the apple-covered skirt and the cacti dress. So darn cute!
These are some fabulous looks! I especially love those pencil shoes. How unique!
Aren’t they the cutest?!?
SO many adorable looks in this post! I love the A-line skirt in Apples, that is just too cute! The best part of back to school time is always new clothes.
I agree! Who says teachers have to look frumpy?
I love the dresses! They are very fashionable. All of them are great picks.
Those pencil shoes are absolutely adorable. I also love so many of those dresses and the cardigan.
I adore those pencil shoes. I am not even a teacher and I would rock them
All of these cute clothes and outfits really make me want to be a teacher! Every single one is great!
Going back to school was always exciting only because it meant being able to pick new things out for the school year . You always had to come back in style.
These outfits are so chic. If my teachers dressed like this in school I probably wouldn’t have been focused on the lessons but where she bought her adorable skirt.
These are some really cute outfits for teachers from Modcloth. These pencil shoes are awesome My friend who is a teacher I will have to share this post with. She will love these outfits. I love the solar system dress along with the science one too. Thanks for sharing these awesome back to school items for teachers.
Back to School is always an amazing time for families … the sale, the bonding … and yes the hunting down as a family for deals! This is great for teacher to be able to get these goodies!
That skirt from Hell Bunny is so pretty. I used to be a teacher, but think I was more shift dress and heels style.
Wait those pencil ballet flats are so freakin cute !!! Loving these picks <3
Ha! Loving the pencil flats! Some of the dresses remind of a cool outfit Ms. Frizzle would wear!
