Generally all of the good options are respectable/professional. And while you are right that it shouldn’t be too flashy or quirky, sometimes a pinch of flair, can set the mood for students to pay attention and not be bored.
What I’m saying is that, while you expect a professional that is there to teach, that doesn’t mean that being bland and monotone is best and often having some variability keeps peoples minds more engaged during a lesson.
So enough to catch and keep their attention, but not so much that it’s distracting from the subject you want to teach.
I’d say to try something like ivy, the Japanese put on the internet a lot of inspo on a modern version of ivy and you should look into it.
Also if you dress better than other professors students will subconsciously notice it and believe you are more respectable.
What I described might have been a cliche, but nowadays most academics and professors dress like shit. You can be jacked and wear the attire I described as well, that’ll make you truly stick out. But hey, at the end he can wear what he wants if there’s no dress code.
the real tired cliche is dressing like a dumb slob. Throughout grade school and college, teachers and professors who dressed at least halfway decent were few and far between. Now, I know I probably don’t represent the average student anyway, but for what it’s worth, I respected my professors who made some effort.
The first example that comes to mind is my discrete math professor who wore a button down shirt under a sweater every day. He was also one of the most well organized and reasonable professors I’ve had.
On the other hand, there are countless professors who came in to teach in a dirty looking t-shirt over their fat belly, and hecking shorts. That, to me, is really what’s tired.
Be memorable and don’t focus on the curriculum too much, students forget 90% anyway. The only class I can recall in its entirety was taught by a flamboyant greek that asked for music suggestions and was just discussing student’s life stories for half the class. This was in an economics program, not even humanities kek. Be like that, it was genuine and helpful in ways that most classes or student counselling aren’t.
I’d just keep it simple and clean. its cringey to pretend to be a high class snob who never left school. something like pic related with some gray pants and different shirts for rotation
You can’t. Academia has lost all sense of prestige, even in former strongholds like the Ivy Leagues, who’ve abandoned elitist exclusivity for diversity and inclusiveness mob approval.

Wear something respectable but unremarkable. You’re supposed to educate, not be distracting with you quirky fashion sense.

Don’t overdo it but make an effort to dress better than the average student. Business casual is usually the way to go.
