Sometimes I wear a suit... not every day. Depends on weather and laundry I have available.

Shirt, tie and suit trousers in elementary and Middle public school. The jacket only comes out for ceremonies and special dinners.

Will have to see what happens in the summer because I sweat way too much to wear a shirt, so might have to wear a jumper over the top to hide the sweat.

I am in a public high school for the first time. I wore a suit and tie on the first day. After that, way more casual. Jeans, and a t-shirt under some kind of jacket, but not a suit jacket, more a leather jacket.

Still trying to figure what I will be able to get away with this summer. I am guessing shorts are out of the question.

Most of the older male teachers are more formally dressed than I am, but a number of the younger ones are about the same.

I'm at a PHS and wear a shirt, jacket and trousers, but no tie. I have some really nice ties, but have never worn one as they make my head look too fat.

My CTs are pretty well turned out so it goes, with nearly all wearing suits and ties. The women generally dress much more informally and generally opt for a mismatch of assorted garments that appear to have been thrown together rather haphazardly.

I would like to add that I've only ever seen one of my CTs wearing one of those 'shiny' suits, although he only wore it the once as I'm sure the VP had a quiet word with him as it was shocking.

Information High School.
Trousers and a shirt here. Most other men wear suits.
Wearing a leather jacket on top, when chilly.

Bought a nice & thin white(ish) jacket thing to wear in the summer and on Sundays.
The leather is nice and warm, but too hot to wear in the summer, and a little scruffy now!.
I guess I'll be better dressed in the summer, than winter.
Waiting for the half sleeve shirts to hit the shops, and I'm going to buy another 5 or so.

Sitting at my desk in my shorts and t-shirt now. Sandals on my feet big hairy toes on show.

The men here dress pretty straight - sometimes they wear a loudish jumper.

Women vary. One of the newer younger ones just wears jeans and some sort of t-shirt top the others all vary some are casual some dress smart everyday.

B.S. How tight do you have it done up? Maybe try loosening it.

I used to work with this guy who couldn't wear a belt and a tie at the same time or he'd look like a string of sausages.

I'm also at a public high school. I wear jeans about 2 times a week. Shirts vary -- lately I've been wearing nice button-down, cotton cardigans and a solid color t-shirt, but now the weather is cooler and so I've been wearing solid color cotton sweaters (i.e. a little less thick than university sweaters with logos on them). Uniqlo really suits me.
