Let me tell you about the moment I realized my wardrobe could actually help me teach.
It was a Friday in early October—one of those days when you’re already tired at 7:00 a.m. I threw on my new “Spook-tacular Teacher” tee from TeachersGram, half-asleep, grabbed my coffee, and rushed out the door.
By 8:10 a.m., I was standing at the door greeting students, and one of my quietest fifth graders paused, looked up, and broke into the biggest smile.
He said, “Your shirt is funny. I like Halloween too.”
That tiny moment sparked a conversation, then a connection.
That connection turned into trust, and soon enough, he was raising his hand in class and even helping lead a group activity.
Did a T-shirt change everything? No.
But did it help me build a bridge with a kid who really needed one? Absolutely. And ever since that day, I’ve treated my teacher shirts as more than clothes—they’re tools for connection.
My Go-To: TeachersGram Teacher T-Shirts
What I love about the TeachersGram teacher t-shirt collection is how each design feels personal. There are funny ones (yes please), motivational ones (hello Monday), and subject-specific designs that let you rep your teaching style and spark conversation with your class.
These tees aren’t stiff or boxy either—they’re soft, flattering, and easy to dress up with a cardigan or down with jeans. I probably own… too many. But they’re all in rotation!
Halloween Shirts That Make Teaching Even More Fun
If you teach during October, you know how excited kids get about Halloween. Instead of going full costume (which I do occasionally), I love pulling on a themed tee like “Hocus Pocus I Need Coffee to Focus” or “Frightfully Good at Fractions.” (Halloween shirt collection here)
These shirts make even a review day feel like a party—and bonus, the kids think I’m way cooler than I probably am.
Teacher Sweatshirts: Because Mornings Are Cold and Classrooms Are Freezing
Let’s be real. School thermostats are unpredictable at best. That’s why teacher sweatshirts are my saving grace.
I keep one hanging on the back of my chair all fall and winter. They’re soft, oversized, and come in such cute designs—some even match the tees for layered looks. One of my favorites says “Teach, Inspire, Repeat”—it’s basically my motto.
Deals Worth Checking Out
Right now, TeachersGram has some seriously good bundle deals:
-
3 tees for $49
-
4 for $59
-
5 for $69
AND their Halloween shirts are 30% off. Honestly, it’s the best time to grab a few favorites before October sneaks up on us.
Final Thoughts
What we wear as teachers may seem like a small thing, but the truth is—it matters. It helps us feel confident, connected, and maybe even a little more fun. And when you find something that’s this comfy and this cute, why not lean into it?
So here’s my teacher tip: grab a shirt that makes you smile, that your students will notice, and that brings a little brightness to your day. Whether it’s a Halloween tee, a comfy sweatshirt, or a classic motivational design—TeachersGram has something that will speak to your teaching heart.
