The Style Behind 'Abbott Elementary'

Janine’s style is…interesting, and often made fun by Principal Ava Coleman. Janine loves long flowy dresses that almost touch the floor, along with long skirts and long sleeve tops. 75 percent of the time you are going to see Janine in one of those floor length dresses with some unique pattern that only she can find. While definitely not the most fashion forward, Janine’s style does reflect her quirky personality.

The substitute teacher that’s now full time at Abbott Elementary. Most of the time you are going to see Gregory wearing a suit and a tie. Sometimes you’ll catch him in a long sleeve shirt and slacks, but the solid color suits are his go-to. Simple, but Gregory is a simple guy ya know?

We have strong reason to believe Principal Coleman has used some of the school funds for shopping trips, but we’re not going there today. Principal Coleman is bad, boujee, and way too good to be decked out in anything other than designer. 

Melissa is the one teacher that you are probably not going to catch in a pretty dress or skirt because when you have mob ties, you have to look the part. Leather jackets and jeans are Melissa’s thing, but sometimes you’ll catch her with long sleeve shirts and leather pants. There was even one time where she wore a cheetah print too, which was a departure from her usual biker look. That said, most of the time Melissa is the “bad ass biker chick.”

Mrs. Howard is the long-standing teacher of the group. She’s also very religious, so most of the time she does dress fancy. It’s not uncommon to see her with pearls and beautiful jewelry either. Mrs. Howard is the definition of prim and proper.

Despite being the most awkward of the group, Jacob is actually the most relaxed style wise. You tend to see him in athletic/athleisure wear, and while he might not have the most up to date sneaker collection, he does have a few classic pairs of sneakers stashed in his closet. We can also probably credit Jacob’s boyfriend for his sneaker game as well.
