We all have some ideas about the form of a teacher, especially the first in the life of the child. The imagination draws a fragile and strict girl, a recent graduate, or, on the contrary, an experienced, calm, confident lady. Of course, we are both seen in restrained two-way costumes with skirt or concise dresses and cases, because it is such a form of clothing that causes confidence, inspires respect, talks about seriousness. Nevertheless, it is worth looking into the class of any Russian school or in the audience of the institute, as a completely different picture will appear. So, often, teachers do not think about what promise should express their appearance, touched into richly decorated allyapic blouses (women) or visual jeans and sneakers (men).
You may argue that, for example, in the United States and a number of European countries, both teachers and university teachers dress very relaxed, in a deep causal, and this does not reduce the quality and seriousness of education. Yes it is. However, one should not forget that in these countries there is another culture of communication: the distance between trainees and students is much less, semi-network relations can be formed, professors are not distancing from students themselves, nor through formal norms. In Russia, the painting is different: the teacher is almost always sadly "at the stage above", especially within the framework of the school. The teacher is a literally symbolic figure, the personification of the highest power in a certain period of life. I do not urge to exacerbate it, touched by deliberately strict black and white outfits and pouring lips with the arrogant look, but I can not not note that for the Russian teacher it is very important to correctly position themselves: to express self-esteem and dignity to our appearance.
From theory - to practice. What is worth wearing teachers? Suitable styles are predominantly business and classic. In the cold season, you can add natural, in the form of cozy restrained monophonic jumpers and knitted dresses, but when it is hot, with this style you need to be careful: if men can come in light naturally crumpled linen costumes, then on women linen sarafany go skirts -Lo lunchdress, the peasant will look too frivolous in a given context.
The color scheme should be calm. Permissible 1-2 small bright color accents, such as brooches, scarf or tie, but shouting coloring for basic things worth avoided. Ideally, it is necessary to bet on the quality of things: 1-2 pairs of comfortable shoes, several basic dresses or suits, a pencil skirt with perfectly seated blouses. For men did not come up with nothing better costumes with shirts. A classic dark blue jeans in combination with a jacket can be as lighting for a strong floor. In turn, the last can sometimes be replaced with a noble jumper. Keywords of the teacher's appearance, both men and women: restraint, calm, confidence, dignity, wisdom. These are the eternal values that should be broadcast to the younger generation and the word, and the case and appearance.
And how do you think a modern teacher should look like?
