From dashing between classrooms to tidying up after students, teachers spend their days in near-constant movement. So, who better to ask for recommendations on comfortable yet stylish fashion than an educator?

I tapped a cross-country network of current and former teachers to weigh in on what’s actually worth buying for the back-to-school season. Sourced from the myriad of submissions I received, I am delighted to share midi skirts, overalls, wide-leg pants, sandals, and more fashion recs that will undoubtedly become closet staples, regardless if your office is a classroom or not.

These teacher-recommended picks start at $15.
