I own one white dress shirt and tie for funerals. I never wear a solid shirt under a blazer or suit.

Male: dark, well fitting jeans, button down, sports coat
Woman: if you like dresses wear a simple solid color with ankle boots, if you are a pants fan where black pants a blouse like from Anthropologie or everlane (I love their silk striped camp shirt) and an unstructured jacket or a tunic length cashmere sweater that’s structured and not sloppy (see M.M. LaFluer ads for inspiration)

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
