I've heard of peers getting grilled for wearing polo shirts or trainers and girls for wearing jeans. Chinos/suit pants, shirt and jumper or just a shirt in the summer and smart shoes...a good pair of brown suit shoes goes a long way. Black jeans would be okay but denim would be too casual. Once you're permanent and settled you can tone it down and start dressing a little more lax but as a fresh daisy why hinder yourself?

My last male student wore jeans and t shirts/sweaters with converse or those leather style court shoes and on some days tracksuits. I wasn't a fan myself as in MIC we were warned within an inch of our lives not to wear anything less than chinos/shirts/leather shoes but that was a little overkill too. Tldr stick with a shirt and chinos with smart shoes/leather trainers (not converse) and sweater if it is cold. Some schools have very lax dress codes, others can put milan fashion week to shame so stick with the above and you won't go wrong. Clothes maketh the man as they say.

We are considered professional - but not paid as such. We don't have a uniform like nurses or Gardaí, but aren't exactly paid like lawyers or Doctors. Thirteen years, I've added an extra subject to my CV, I've an MA and HDip, and I get about 34K after tax. Not really a professionals wage.

Most men in my place wear something like that. I realise this is a rant but here it goes. It is typical of new type of entrant that is coming into teaching. Very limited general knowledge and weak willed. They don't want to upset the apple cart and would do anything for a job. Points are much easier to get than 20 years ago, and lots of past students are coming back to our place on teaching practice who do not have the skills or personality to be a teacher. Cost of living has increased - the Gardaí threaten a strike, their wages go up. Nurses - well, you can't give out about nurses - strike for five days. Teachers - and it's the ones that are older - are spineless. But why should they? The Department has teachers at each scale on the ladder snookered in some way. If you are just in the door you'd want to have a fair set of balls to be a rabble-rouser. You need to take every crap bit of extra curricular that's thrown your way. CID has changed to two years - which is much better than the four it used to be. Unions are a joke. Protests at lunchtime? Go out for a week and there might be some respect from parents when they have to look after their kids at home. Media hates teachers anyway - so who cares if we make a strong stand. TUI/ASTI are as feeble and as low down the sewer as the Teaching Council. It's a crap profession and any teachers I know do not want their kids to follow them into the job.

Even if you are over dressed compared to the other teachers you are making a good impression on your supervisor, school principal, other teachers and students by making an effort.

I can't believe some women need it pointed out to them what is and is not appropriate wear for teaching. No, they don't need to see your knocks popping out. I once even had a male colleague who favoured the 'bag of cats down the front of a tracksuit' style. Not a PE teacher, either. Lordy my breakfast nearly re-appeared sometimes.

It’d be understandable if they were a PE teacher, but they’re not. Far too casual. Top that. When doing the dip there was a teacher who wore a Playboy hoodie and had a Playboy pencil case.
